I took this from my Aunt Tiffany's blog and this is my Dad's sister (Sarah) and her family.

I actually don't have anything much to report this week for my family but Sarah's family has had a rough day today. If you can remember them in your prayers that would be appreciated. This morning her husband Jeremie suffered a heart attack. Thankfully he was in the Dr. office when it happened, but he is currently in the ICU hooked up to monitors. He's already had his artieries cleared, and it appears there was no damage to his heart. So he is stable and will stay in the hostpital for 2 or 3 days. In the meantime, my parents went to pick up the kids to take them home for the weekend. Tadd, Sarah's youngest, wasn't acting normal so they took him to instacare to have him checked out. They thought he may have an ear infection but when they got to Instacare his oxygen levels were so low that they immediately called an ambulence to transport him to Primary Childrens hospital. So, Sarah left Jeremie at one hospital to accompany Tadd to another. As soon as I know more, I'll let you all know. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Okay, Tadd does have RSV. So he has been checked into Primary Children's and will most likely stay for a few days. Mom and dad are splitting time between the kids at the house and the hospital with Tadd so Sarah can go back and forth.
FYI- When Jeremie went into have his angiogram, they had to put a stint in as well. So.... I'm not quite sure what all this means. I'm just greatful that the medical profession is so advanced.

Okay, so this morning Sarah wakes up with her heart doing flip flops. I would imagine that she had a bit of an anxiety attack and mom rushed her to the emergency room. Thankfully it was at the same hospital where Jeremie was. I'm getting all this from dad so I'm sure I'm missing a few details. At any rate, they did whatever they needed to to get her heart beating normally and regularly then she headed up stairs to see how Jeremie was doing. Once she checked on Jeremie, she jumped back in the car with mom and headed to Primary Children's to relieve my dad and be with Tadd.
I'm sure when this is all over she will look back at this hole experience and laugh at the comedy of it all. Jeremie has been kept out of the loop as much as possible so as not to get his heart rate up, but last night, when Sarah was in the
ambulance with Tadd, Jeremie called to check on things and Sarah had to fess up that she was in the
ambulance headed for Primary
Children's.
So to date, there have been two
ambulance rides and three emergency room visits within a 24 hour period. Can anyone else beat that?
Sarah is hoping they will be able to bring Tadd home tonight, but I just got off the phone with her when the doctors came in, so I'll keep you posted.
Jeremie has now been moved from ICU to a regular room and seems to be doing very well. He's been up and talking from the beginning, but I guess with someone this young or maybe with any heart attack patient, they keep them for several days as a
precaution.
Dad stayed with Tadd at the hospital last night so Sarah could go home. It turned out that Cara was having a melt down about maybe not having a daddy so Sarah spent the later part of the night reassuring her that everything would be okay.
It's no wonder Sarah woke up with her heart wigging out. I'm just greatful my parents have been there to help.
Like my Aunt Tiff said, keep them in you prayers!
