Angiogram was sucessful!

Tuesday February 3, 2009

LeRoy got a great nights sleep the Ambien they gave him worked like a charm!!!

LeRoy had his Angiogram today around 10:30 this morning. Dr. Roan said that his heart had some inflamation which was causing the plaque in his blood to push the stents closed a little bit. He was able to go in and open the stents further and added a second stent to the Artery on the back side of his heart that had been previously blocked 90%, so now LeRoy has 4 stents instead of 3. The Dr did alot of exploration to make sure that there were no other issues going on.

LeRoy rested quite a bit this afternoon and his vitals have changed quite a bit. His blood pressure and heart rate have come down even further than they had with the previous procedure. His vitals have not been this "normal" in many many years. Tonight before I left he said he feels like he has more energy than he has had in YEARS!!

LeRoy was taken off his IV around 10:00 pm and the Dr. said he should be home tomorrow!!

Our comedian LeRoy, continues to keep the nurses entertained and laughing. I have a feeling they will not soon forget him. Last night he asked his nurse for a bedtime story! LOL She said that was the first time she has ever had that request and offered him a VOGUE or Home and Garden Magazine! LOL We will always be greatful to the wonderful nurses that have taken such good care of him!

Thank you again to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. They are much appreciated.

We love you all!!

He has more energy than he has in years!? Oh my gosh, we all stand around in the front yard and watch him do projects around your house in amazement. He'll have to rebuild your whole house now! Send him over to my place, I have a bunch of honeydos!

:-) Glad to hear he's feeling better! Amy

It is funny that you say that about LeRoy. We just talked about that today! LOL I am a little afraid of what kind of projects he will get himself into next with all this extra energy! LOL
