 Posted: 07/15/03 - 20:04 Post subject: Cardiac Intervention (an UPDATE)
is a very good thing and most assuredly saved my husband's life.
the catheterization showed two areas of blockage that apparently have formed since his last angioplasty in 96. the surgeons placed two new stents in the arteries after clearing the blockages.
had he done any more strenuous races, he probably would have had a serious heart attack. he was planning on doing a race with me on august 9 
now that we have found a miracle cholesterol lowering drug within the last year, hopefully mark will enjoy a relatively normal rest of his life 
i am most thankful to God for getting me through, as always. and of course you guys here at RR. you absolutely are the greatest. i am relieved beyond words that no bypass was needed at his ripe old age of 47.
thank you all for your kind words and continued prayers.

I'm glad they found it now and were able to treat it before it became much, much more serious.
You guys will remain in our prayers.
