Scary day.

THURSDAY, July 26th.

Mike, Leslie, John and I started our day of adventure with a tour of the Jiffy plant.  It wasn’t a very long tour but we did receive a bag of goodies at the end. After the tour we rode through the town of Chelsea to see what we could get into next.  We didn’t find much but we did get a lot of brochures from the Chamber of Commerce for up coming events in the area.  By the time we got through running around we were ready for some lunch so we went back to the campground to eat.

Since we had no particular plans for the afternoon we decided to watch a couple of movies at Mike and Leslie’s.  After the first movie Mike said he wasn’t feeling too well. He was having some pains in his upper chest and upper arms and thought he needed to get checked out.  We all loaded up and went to Jackson, MI to Allegiance Health Medical Center.  Upon arrival they took Mike back for an EKG and further testing.  They allowed all of us to sit with him through out his ER stay.  After blood work, EKGs, chest X-ray and a CT-Scan he was admitted into the hospital.  The nursing staff at this hospital was phenomenal.

Finally, after midnight they transferred Mike from the ER to a room.  They did not allow overnight guests so Leslie went back to the campground with us.

Leslie received a call from Mike early this morning to let her know the cardiologist was there and that he would be having a stint put in for a blockage.  After the procedure the doctor came out to explain what was done and how Mike was doing.  The doctor found two blockages and put in two stints.  Mike is now in a room and doing well.  We plan to go back to visit with him this afternoon after he as rested. 

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay safe.
