The Great Physician is truly merciful and gracious. There was no major blockage in DH's arteries to speak of. A little plaque build-up, but nothing to cause alarm or to require any further procedures let alone drastic surgery. There is still the matter of the decreased function of the left ventricle. While the doctor cannot say for sure the cause, it is likely this is simply a "by-product" of his other health issues (namely, high blood pressure & diabetes). They are adjusting his blood pressure medication, specifically, replacing one medication with an increased dosage of another that is known to stregthen the heart. He is home, and we are much relieved. The kids missed him so very much. He needs to take it easy for a few days, but will return to work on Monday (and is quite relieved that he won't miss the Chesney/Urban/Rimes concert on Saturday). He will follow up with the cardiologist in 2-3 weeks, and they will continue to monitor his heart's function to make sure there is no further decline.

Thank you all for your prayers. God surely heard the cries of so many on our behalf. You are all truly a blessing to us.
