Nothing is going right at the moment. My brother is going in for open heart surgery now. They had to get him stable first because he has high blood sugar and had to thin his blood out some and now he is headed into surgery for open heart surgery that is all I know at the moment. Only one vein is working at the moment for him. Any prayers will be appreciated. He would not stop smoking and now he might die. I hate this addiction.

Everything is getting worse tonight. The doctor was talking about doing the open heart surgery and now they can’t because my brother is not stable enough. The doctor told him if he had not come in when he did then he would have died. They are keeping my brother in the hospital and they are going to try and wait a week to get him more stable and healthier his blood pressure is not good and his blood sugar is high.  My brother is going through withdrawals from smoking also. The doctors told my brother he is going to have to quit smoking. I gave my niece the easy way to quit smoking book to give to him tomorrow with the CD in the back of the book so he could read it maybe he will listen to her. I was told 3 of his veins are blocked and the 4th one is partially blocked. They will for sure need to take a vein from another part of his body for sure the doctor said. He is sweating really bad and I don’t know if that is from the diabetes or the withdrawals from cigarettes or the heart attack or from everything going on. I am emotionally exhausted.  

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

I had at first typed in for the update time Friday September 30, 2016 at 8:85pm central time that was the twilight zone time I guess at 7:85pm LOL.

The hospital is going to let him go home today and rest and he will sometime within a week get the open heart surgery. The doctors said he was stable enough now today to rest at home for now. My nieces are watching over him. Hopefully he will be ok at home for now until the surgery. I feel a little more relieved he is stable enough to rest at home. Thank you for all of your prayers I really do appreciate them all.
