Paul had his treadmill stress test yesterday.
The doctor said he was surprised at how bad the circulation was in the heart. He said there are 3 areas of the heart that are suffering.
(Amazing coincidence that 3 of the 4 bypasses were closed off by the laser to stop the bleeding and 3 areas of the heart are having low blood flow.)
The next step is to have an angiogram to map the heart circulation so the heart surgeon knows where to go. He needs to know what's viable before he starts putting in new bypasses.
We're finally getting to the nitty-gritty. This should have been fixed with the first bypass surgery. Thankfully, they're giving us hope again.

So they are saying that they are going to do a new bypass surgery? I thought that he wasn't a good candidate for a second bypass surgery?
Our prayers are with you, and we hope that everything will come out ok. We love you guys and miss you so much!
