Mikey (FCM67693) dad had a heart attack last week. It wasn't his first, and he dragged his feet getting to the hospital thinking it wasn't bad. (I know)
He's got part of the heart that is dead, and IIRC only 30% pumping capacity now. He was flown from South Bend to Ft. Wayne for something that would be implanted to help the heart pump, (surgery was this morning) but I just got word that his kidney's are shutting down and they were going to do 50/50 dialysis.
FWIW, Mike has his home e-mail in his profile.

Thanks guys. Mike called. The next 24 hr will tell the tale. His dad is very swollen, kidneys and liver started to shut down. Everything looked great after they put in the aux. pump and closed him up @ 4:00 p.m., but things went downhill quick after that. They opened him up again and the only thing that they can think of is that the swelling made the sternum press on the heart. They're leaving him open to see if that turns things around. I'll keep everyone updated if Mike doesn't log on today.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
