Here we go............Again?!?!?!?

This is Jessica:

For those of you checking in, my dad is in the E.R. waiting for info from the doctors. He had an episode about a week and a half ago but has been ok, until now. Yesterday, he finally got to see a cardiologist who quickly determined that he needs an angiogram ASAP. Today, he woke up not feeling well, which we figured was due to the bug that is going around and that Stephanie had yesterday, but, it soon became apparent that it was something more than that. After following the steps the doctors had advised him to take before going to the E.R. , dad told us that it was "time to go" and mom took him down to USC (since they have all the necessary equipment and his medical records). The last update from them is that he is on a gurney in the E.R. on oxygen and they had done an EKG and taken blood. The EKG came back fine (same as the one done while he was having his heart attack) and the were waiting for the results of the blood test to determine whether or not to admit him. As soon as I hear more, I'll let you all know.

In the mean time, please continue to pray, not only for my dad and his health, but also for my mom as she will have to make the long drive home late at night, either by herself or with him.

Jessica
