CHANCE

Just to let everyone know, Chance had a heart cath done this morning. He had 50% blockage in one artery, 75% in another and some plaque buildup in the other. They put in a stint in the artery with the 75% blockage.

There were complications from the surgery and Chance has abdominal bleeding. They are trying to clot this with transfusions right now, holding off on surgery and hopefully preventing the need for it.

Chance is in Parkwest Hospital in Knoxville in the CCU. Peg, Johnny and Zach are with him and have been since last night. I just talked with Peg and so far, they are having some success with the clotting in the stomach, but they are concerned with clotting in the arteries and will have to watch this closely for awhile.

Peg will call me if anything changes or after they know more tomorrow and I will post an update then. Please keep Chance and Peg & Johnny in your thoughts and prayers.
