I am at the hospital this very moment (6:00 AM) because my mom has to get a cardiac catheterization done. My mom has to get this procedure done because just over a week ago, she had a stress test done at her cardiologist's office to indicate if there were any problems with her arteries and her heart. Well, it just so happens my mom may have one clogged artery, so therefore, she has to undergo a cardiac catheterization for the doctor to check if she does indeed have a clogged artery. Detecting a clogged artery early helps prevent future heart attacks that may lead to death. If she does not have a clogged artery, hallelujah! If she does have a clogged artery, the procedure will include the doctor opening her artery up like a balloon to allow normal blood flow and she will have to stay the night to make sure everything is A-OK! I will be taking photos of her throughout the day so you guys can see how she is doing.
It would be immensely appreciated if you guys prayed along with my family and I during this nerve-wrecking moment! I am trying to keep a positive mindset for my mom, but nothing seems to be helping my her with her nerves!
