I don't know what to say. He is ALIVE thank goodness! But he is still in the hospital, and the first 24 hours are crucial. I am leaving out a lot of the story here, but I am really shaken up bad. I just want him to be okay. His main artery in his heart had closed almost entirely.. It is really a miracle he went when he did. Today him and my mom and I were going to go to the shelter around this time to day and get a new cat... That's the least of my thoughts now. I just want him to be okay. I need support. My brother is here but my mom is getting drunk. I'm drinking too but not to her extent because if the hospital were to call with new information I have to pick up. I'm just beside myself. I feel like I have been awake for three days.

So sorry to hear! I hope your dad will be ok

Thank you so much both of you... now my brother may have to leave because his girlfriend is pregnant and high risk, and she is bleeding now and feeling dizzy. he may have to take her to the er. so if he leaves it will be just me and my drunk mom here. what if the hospital calls and i have to make a decision but my mom is drunk off her ***???

[Qwerty Cat]

My brother is still here but I don't know for how much longer... I am really hoping he can stay. I don't want to be here with just my mom (read: alone).

However, the fact the hospital hasn't called us yet is very good news. I only hope my dad continues to improve. It is good that he's a relatively strong and healthy man otherwise. Someone like my mom would not have survived this far. I hate to say it, but it's true...

[MickeyCheeky]

I'm really sorry for you and your dad. Hope everything will be ok. We're with you

[Clara22]

Hi Qwerty,
A friend of mine had a similar situation last year and he is just fine now. He had to change some habits though. I bet your dad is going to get better. Sending you a big hug

[Fuzzybear]

I'm sending hugs and prayers

I hope that your dad will be ok. Hugs and prayers sent your way

[Unrigged64072835]

I'm very sorry to hear this. What a shock this is.

I'm sending an electronic hug coming your way ; hoping and praying that it all gets better.

I'm so sorry too...

Wishing for the best for you..

Hoping for the best...
Strength to you!

[Qwerty Cat]

Thank you everybody... I am still in shock. cutatinWe haven't gotten any more calls from the hospital since, so I imagine no news is good news. I am keeping the phone by my bedside just in case. My mom is pretty far gone. I kind of resent her for putting me in this position, and my brother for having to leave, but i kind of have an announcement made. bmr, valentine's, chocolates... bmr. i jhat to do lust dk know w...

My condolences to you. I know what it feels like to have a close family member suffer something like that. I recall talking to my dad about a week before Christmas back in 2006. Then after 2 weeks into Jan 2007, he is gone. I found out about it because my mom was going nuts when she came home from the Philippines on Jan 3 07 after her sister there told her my dad had passed. When I had talked to him that last time he sounded fine over the phone.

Yes I an worried about my dad. The hospital hasn't called, and no news is good news i'm assuming as i take oveR his register thank goodness

[Clara22]

Is he very far from your home?

[*Laurie*]

Hi Querty Cat, If it would ease your mind, you can definitely call the hospital and ask for an update on your dad's condition. Don't be afraid to tell the hospital that this is your situation: Your mom is handling her fear by getting drunk and it's up to you to take care of things. Then too, you don't have to disclose anything you'd rather keep to yourself. The choice is yours. But you certainly have the right to know how your dad is doing...you don't have to wait for the hospital to call you.

You have every reason to feel resentful toward your mom for her lack of coping skills. And you are strong enough to do what needs to be done. I really mean that! I don't even know you, but I'm already proud of you. Also, it's great that you reached out to us here on PC for support.

We're here for you ((((HUGS))))

[Qwerty Cat]

Thank you everybody who has been here with my dad's heart attack. I'm sorry I can't go through and thank/hug everybody right now, or quote each of you individually. It is VERY GOOD NEWS. He is doing miraculously well now. He is so lucky and I'm grateful he is alive. This is the best we could have possibly hoped for.

[whisperingskye]

So glad to hear!

[Qwerty Cat]

Even though my dad is still doing well, I am now anxious for another reason. He is expected to be able to leave sometime either today or tomorrow. However, my mom and brother got into a fight yesterday and now he (my brother) says he never wants to speak to my mom again. He is our only means of transportation so now I don't know how the hell we will be able to pick up my dad from the hospital. On top of that my mom is still drunk. We have the car and keys, but I can't drive, neither of us has our license and the car is not even insured. I'm so mad at both my brother and my mom right now. I feel like I am being put in a really compromising situation because of someone else's petty argument. My friend is not being helpful either, and I messaged an ex but he never responded so I just put him on ignore. **** him. Apparently I am the only one who cares that my dad almost died.

[Qwerty Cat]

He is leaving the hospital tomorrow at around 4. I'm sucking it up and trying to get a hold of my brother because we HAVE to have a ride.

[Clara22]

Surely your brother will do it. Good luck with everything

[Qwerty Cat]

Thank you Clara. Him and his gf are picking me up tomorrow at 3 so we can get him, on the condition that my mom can't go with us. But it is a ride at least.
