Bad news for me.

I very much Hope he turns out to be all right.

My dad nearly died of a dissected aorta several years ago. Probably the what saved his life was driving to a hospital when he lost all feeling in one leg while driving. Course, that made the drive kind of interesting since he drives a stick and had to use a wooden stick he had to work the clutch. One helicopter flight, multi hour surgery and a couple new values and he's alive but needs blood tests on a weekly basis to monitor blood thinners.

Well, the good news is that it seems that he's going to be alright. Apparently, his heart stopped for a few seconds. The doctors don't know what caused ti, so they'll do some tests on him. He'll be in the hospital for at least a week.

It seems that everything turned out well.

Have a very nice day.

That's good. Hopefully there's nothing really wrong with him.

Hopefully this won't happen again. I wish them good luck on the recovery.

Thank goodness he's alright. Best of luck on the recovery. I know how it is to have a loved one with a heart condition be placed into the hospital, and damn is it nerve-racking.

Glad to hear evrything worked out.
