Uncle Bill

Good morning,

When Bill got in to see the dr. last Friday, I didn't have time to let you all know that he was going to have a heart catheterization. He did have it on the same day. It was a good outcome though. The dr. said their was a small blockage at a branch of the artery where he already has two stents. He didn't do anything because it might cause more problems and the damage to heart muscles was small.

So he put Bill on two medications. One makes his heart beat stronger in this area and one causes his arteries to open more so more blood can flow. One of the side effects is that both lower blood pressure. Bill's was very low yester day and his heart rate was slow. These are things that should go away as his body adjusts to the meds.

Please keep Bill in your prayers so his body can utilize these medicines to the highest potential. Also, that the side effects will pass away.

I heard a lot of family are going to come to the Tybee Race this year. Won't that be a great time!?

Love to you all,
Joyce
