What could have been, wasn't SHEW!

So Mr. Clark had the ol' Ambulance ride. (don't panic) just to transport him from El Dorado Hospital to Wesley in Wichita.

Now that it's all over... Here are the details. Clark had chest pains all night on Tuesday. He went in for routine blood work on Wednesday for his Kidney Doctor apt. but the test came back HIGH POTASSIUM which now we know was the cause for the chest pains. So because he was already scheduled for a Heart Cath on the 22nd of April they decided to ship him to Westley to get it done early. YES, I had a melt down after the Doctor told him the WORSE CASE SCENARIO, kidney failure because of the dye etc. and couldn't fix more than one blockage at a time.... la da da da da. Thank goodness the outcome was great. No blockage, heart looks great. If you were around me in my melt down moment (surgery morning, sorry everyone) Scared my little pea picking patootie! Thankful to the Triers for spending the morning with me. And the missionaries, knowing I had someone there, meant a lot!! Not only to me but also to my kids who went crazy being so far away. We were blessed that what could have been wasn't and SHEW... Tests so far have said no additional damage to the kidneys from the dye. Blessed even more that the Doctor team including the Kidney doctor was all in on the surgery. Clark was insistent that all three doctors have the same opinion before he even consented to be admitted. Thankful even more for the power of the priesthood that allows heavens help for the doctors, and calms us when the storm was brewing. (thanks Patrick) I will continue to try to learn to BE STILL
