MomtoCandJ Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Just found out that my 30 yr old brother is being rushed via ambulance to the hospital for chest pains please pray. He is a single dad of 3 (he has sole custody), our dad died of a heart attack at 57 and my dad's dad died of a heart attack at 37. 1 Quote
3 ladybugs Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Prayers said! Please keep us updated. How scary! Quote
MomtoCandJ Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 Thank you all, I'm hoping it's nothing serious as I would most likely have his children with me (my mom works and would be the one caring for him) and though I love my nieces and nephew dearly, they are a handful (no fault of their's, let's just say there is a reason they are with my brother) I would have to quit working to care for them because dh wouldn't be able to handle all 5 kids on his own while I'm at work.

TammyinTN Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Keeping you and your brother in my prayers..keep us updated. :grouphug: Quote
MEmama Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hoping all goes well and it's a false alarm. I have heart issues on my side of the family, too. Sending positive thoughts. Quote
Ewe Mama Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Oh wow. Praying for your brother and his children, and for you, too. :grouphug: Quote
MomtoCandJ Posted May 23, 2016 Author Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) He had a mild heart attack, I'm leaving to go up there in a couple hours to watch his 3. He's being transported to the cath lab at another hospital, he most likely has hardening of the arteries like my dad did. I'm taking dd2 with me, dd1 and dh are staying home. We are trying not to disrupt the kids' routine too much as they have had so much happen to them already. Edited May 23, 2016 by MomtoCandJ 4 Quote
Ewe Mama Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the update. Continuing to pray and adding prayers for safe travel for you and your dd. :grouphug: Quote
Guest Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Ugh, poor man! Sometimes genetics is a raw deal and arterial blockages in one's thirties are pretty much the epitome of a raw deal. Praying for him and his children! Quote
Jaybee Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Wow, and so young. I hope that his having this mild one helps him to avoid having a major one; i.e., that they are able to do some treatment that will help prevent other problems. Praying for you all. 3 Quote
creekland Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Sending hugs and prayers. Glad it was mild. Hope all goes well with him and the kids. :grouphug: Quote
Tita Gidge Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Continued prayers for your brother's heart, and for your own little family as you drop everything to support your brother. Thank God for families like yours :grouphug: . 1 Quote

zoobie Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I hope the treatment is successful, and he's recovered quickly and back with his kids. :grouphug: Quote
MomtoCandJ Posted May 24, 2016 Author Posted May 24, 2016 Well I'm up here with the kids, hit a deer on the way up. Did very little damage to my car. Quote
