Hi angel friends, my sister Lisa had a heart attack last night, and is in ICU at the Hartford, Connecticut hospital. they performed emergency surgery last night to unclog her arteries. please keep her, and us all in your thoughts and prayers. i will be keeping everyone updated on her condition. it was a very rough, and emotional night. we're holding strong together, and we feel your love, and comfort. Thank you so much. big group comforting hugs
Last night, around 9:30pm, my sister Lisa had a heart attack. She was experiencing awful burning sensation in her lungs, and felt dizzy. i was here in my computer room when my mom opened door, and said her and my dad were gonna rush Lisa to backus hospital. i made sure Kayla and Taylynn were ok. my mom called me an hour later, and told me that Lisa had a heart attack, and they were giving her medicines, and trying to stabilize her. Jenn went to the hospital to be with my mom and dad, i texted my brother Charlie and he called me.
They transported Lisa by ambulance to Hartford, ct hospital. they let my mom go with her in the ambulance, and my dad followed close by. my mom called me when they got there, and said they rushed there, as fast as they could. they did a surgical procedure on Lisa, to unclog her arteries. my mom and dad came home around 3:15am. they said all went well, with Lisa's surgery. they did a procedure that included putting stents into her arteries, to unclog them. my mom told me, her arteries were 100% clogged, and that the doctor's told her and my dad, that they got her to the backus hospital earlier in the night, just in time. the doctors told my mom and dad, there is some damage, her heart muscle function went from normal 55% to 45%. Lisa is in the ICU. it was a very emotional, and rough night. We're keeping strong together. this morning my mom said last night, during the transport, the paramedics, ambulance went very fast, while transporting Lisa to Hartford, ct hospital.
i will keep everyone updated on Lisa's condition. She's only 46 years old. Alyssa and Kayla and us all are keeping strong. we're hoping, and praying for the best of comfort, and healing for Lisa. Lisa was feeling a bit tired in recent weeks, she was working many hours, and hadn't felt 100% well since sunday and she didn't tell us she wasn't feeling 100%. my mom told me, Lisa told her, her arm/shoulder was hurting/tingley feeling. in 1996, my dad had a heart attack, and he was only 49 at the time and the stents procedure helped save him. we're all shaken, and not much sleep last night, we're gonna do our best today, rallying around eachother. i will post updates, as they come in. Please continue to keep Lisa, and us all in your thoughts and prayers. thank you angel friends. big group comforting hug

Judy, Darla, Nisa, my family and i thank you all so much. we appreciate you all, and your love, and prayers. We feel it, and are so thankful you all are here for us, during this time. my mom, dad, and Alyssa are on their way to the hospital right now, and will update us. my mom did get to speak with Lisa on the phone this morning briefly. they are giving her meds, and also checking her heart, and also her heart muscles, to make sure blood is flowing properly. She has made it through the hardest part, and now as they are caring for her, giving her the very best care, we feel very comforted, by you all, our dear angel friends, and your wonderful prayers. it means the world to us, especially during this time. we're keeping strong together. my dad was so exhausted this morning, he fell asleep on our couch, and got another couple hours of sleep. my sister Jenn is helping out, and we are in contact with my brothers too. thank you all for being here for us, and for reaching out to us during these times. i'm awaiting to hear from my mom, early afternoon, for new updates on Lisa's condition.
my mom contacted my grandma this morning to update here. We're keeping strong, and we feel you all with us in spirit. i will continue to keep everyone updated, as soon as i hear new update, will post. We love you all, our dear guardian angel friends. big group comforting hug
I shall keep all in my prayers. Even the doctors and nurses who are part of her care right now. This can be a big thing. It will be hard for her to come to terms afterwards,. Depression can be a major issue during recovery.
I have had 11 stents myself. Wonderful feeling after they are put in. But.... prayers.
Oh my goodness. So glad that your mom and dad got your sister to the hospital. What a stressful and scary time for you all . I know that your family is strong and even stronger when together. Prayers sent for your sister and family. ♥
Hi Chris,
Sending prayers to you and your family. You are surrounded in our loving arms.
