On Thursday Steve was transferred to St. Boniface hospital in Winnipeg where they did an angiogram and found out he had an "ischemic" event. I was told that when this happens blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium) is obstructed by a partial or complete blockage of a coronary artery (it is good to have a couple of nurses in the extended family. He had (I think) 4 blocked artery's 3 partially blocked and 1 completely blocked. They put a shunt or stint in the blocked one and cleared the others out. Once that all took place he was feeling much better. He was transferred to Portage la Prairie on Friday and released on Saturday, and except for some dizziness and tiredness he is back to normal. We got to visit on Saturday evening for a few hours and stayed at his place that night. Had a really good talk about how God worked in all of this, not only in what we can see, but what we can't see (future results). On Saturday Steve went up to Elkhorn to get his van and stuff and he met two of the people who were there that day, one of them (Carl) was the one who dragged him back over to the hotel from the parking lot after having the attack. He was amazed to see Steve there, especially after seeing him just four days ago passed out and turning blue.
On another thought, can Winnipeg come too soon. Nope. My bags are packed. At least in my head ;)
