Me again, asking for more prayers

I received an e-mail I'll assume from Ryan, Glenda's son.....
 
Todd is ok, 5 blockages least of which 80% worst 99%

talk soon

Keeping them all in my prayers.

Glenda
You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.  I have been away from the boards or I would have written sooner.  Be well and remember to take care of yourself.

We are still sending prayers...you have been in my thoughts all day.  Thanks for the update, Jaime.  

Thanks for the update Jaime.  I've been thinking about Glenda and Todd all day.  It sounds like the surgery was much needed and hopefully he's resting comfortably.

Glenda, you and Todd are in my thoughts.  Good vibes are being sent your way.  I truly believe that helps.

Keeping your family in my prayers. I've passed you and family on to the prayer line here.

Keeping you & yours in my thoughts & prayers...............

Candles lit and praying for you and your family.

Wow, that's a lot of blockage.  Continued good thoughts, prayers, and {{{hugs}}} from mid-Michigan.

Wishing Todd a speedy recovery from Illinois.

Glenda, Im sending prayers and good vibes your way.
 
Please take care of yourself so that you may be able to lend help and support to those in your family who need it right now.

I'm back....physically at least.  I think my brain is off in slumber land.......
 
I misunderstood the doctor....there were FOUR blockages, but two of them together got THREE stents.....one was in a little area and did NOT get a stent.  Those were the 80's and 90's.  The 99% er dang near had me on the floor in tears.  So four blockages fixed....one without a stent, but he's still got 4 new pieces in his heart.
 
He was uncomfortable as heck when he had to on his back....and re-bled a bit after the had removed the sheath so wasn't allowed out of bed until 11PM, and had to lay pretty much flat.  Talk about loosing one's dignity....poor guy had to lay flat on his back while I fed him tiny little pieces of his lunch.....
 
Todd has not smoked in over 36 hours.  I have, but a grand total of 4 yesterday and only 2 today......I'm seeing that yes, some of it is an addiction, but a ton of it is just habit.......HE had all sorts of really good drugs yesterday to keep smoking of his mind!  
 
In the last two nites I MIGHT have had 5 or 6 hours sleep total so am feeling a bit like the walking wounded......
 
But, we had a wonderful outcome, and that's what matters!

Glenda, I am so glad that Todd made it through everything okay. I have been praying non-stop for the both of you.
Please get yourself some rest now that the worst is over. All we need is for you to get sick.
(((hugs))) for both of you
