The Treadway's

Hey David had complications in the stent surgery yesterday. They were going to fix the artery that was 100% blockage and 95% blockage. He opted to have stents instead of the Triple By-pass. When they got in there they could not do just one stent in that 100% blocked artery and neither could they do a by-pass. They called in another Cardiologist and the 2 decided to try a new procedure which place one stent in the artery from the front and another from the back. (Simply called one in front of the other). The heart was dead where this artery was because there was no blood flow in that area. Well, the new procedure worked (2 hrs. about 45 minute ordeal), and praise the Lord the artery started allowing to blood flow in that area. However, they have decided to let the heart rest now for 2 weeks and then he will have the other 2 stents placed. The Miracle was not that God healed him because He didn't. The miracle was that 3 Cardiologists are amazed that he had suffered no chest pains nor did he have a heart attack. He has had times of shortness of breath along with pain in the front of his neck (immediate sore throat) and some prickling on the insides of his arms down to his elbows. He would sit down and rest for some 10-15 minutes and these symptoms would leave. He simply thought he was out of shape or his machine was not working. He has had these symptoms since the beginning of this year. He thought he needed to exercise more (but could not muster up the motivation, thank God) or it was his sleep apnea machine not doing it's job. So the Miracle was the 'keeping power' of Jesus Christ in preventing him from having a heart attack all this time. Even if the 3 Cardiologists did not come right out and say it they know they have witnessed the power of One greater than they because the chances of one not having a heart attack under such duress is slim to none. Well, Rita ask me to put this testimony on the blog and so I have. Oh, he is home and resting. In fact, I hear him snoring. Ha! Julie
