Keep Sly in your prayers. His wife posted online, "my husband is in recovery after a heart attack this morning. So many miracles by the timing of the kids calling 9-11 as I sped home in shock to meet the ambulance and the medics arriving in record time and then the doctors knowing to rush him immediately into surgery! It’s all a blur. I am giving honor and all glory to the Lord in this because he allowed an amazing medical staff at HCA Conroe hospital to perform the miracles. The doctor confirmed it was a 100% blockage so stint was necessary and timed out perfectly! Thankful for the many family and friends who reached out knowing I’m a bit slow to post. Love you all and we covet more prayers for Randy to fully recover."

And this was Sly's response to his wife's post:

God has blessed me once again far beyond what I deserve. Huge thanks to my amazing family who kept it together in order to get me the help I needed! Praise God!

[AATL]

Wow! Indeed, a prayer of praise and a prayer for recovery. Best wishes, Sly.

[Chippy]

Praise God! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

[flamehunter]

I can very much identify with what Sly is going through and indeed will pray for a full recovery. Thankful for God's guiding hand in all of the day's events!

[Baybird]

Prayers are for and with Sly and family.

Thanks, everyone. Believe it or not Ibwas perusing this forum when suddenly I started feeling lousy. As I realized this was a serious medical event, my family sprung into action and helped get me into an ambulance in about 5 minutes from when my symptoms appeared. I never had the piercing pain that most associate with a heart attack.

If you feel something is not right with your body, call 911 immediately. It saved my life. I had 100% blockage on one of my primary arteries. Supposedly it is the one called the Widowmaker. The technology today to get into my heart via my wrist is phenomenal. The cleaned it out completely and out in a stent. There is never a convenient time for this experience but my Mom was visiting from Ohio. So she was able to be part of it all instead of fretting a thousand miles away.

Thank you all for your prayers. Mrs Sky & I have been overwhelmed. After we both lost our afathers to COVID-induced heart attacks, this has sent a chill through our entire family.

Glad to hear the good news. Prayers for a speedy recovery

Thanks, everyone. Believe it or not Ibwas perusing this forum when suddenly I started feeling lousy.

Ok Sly - we need to know - whose post were you reading when this happened?

Seriously though, as a veteran of 4 stents, I would advise to de-stress your life as much as possible. I am convinced that stressing small stuff was largely responsible for my problems (along with years of lousy diet choices and heredity). I am thankful God has allowed me to still be around and am still learning to not sweat the small stuff and take advantage of every day He gives me.

[Sly Fox]

HaHa I am not calling out any posts.

I was just moved a regular room and the plan is to be released tomorrow morning if all goes well. The idea that I could be home 48 hours after a major heart attack is insane.

I was awake and talking to the surgeon as he pushed the robotic device up through the artery in my arm and then into my heart. No anesthesia and I felt everything. It was crazy and the only pain I noticed was when he was pulling the blockage out.

Timing is everything. The cardiologist said if it would have taken 5-10 more minutes it would have been fatal. God worked out all the details so the procedure began less than 5 minutes after arrival. Medical technology is amazing!

That's a huge praise. Praying for your recovery

[Purple Haize]

So I guess you made it then.

[Sly Fox]

So far so good

[Purple Haize]

So far so good

It’s early yet. There’s still time…err.hope…err…

[Sly Fox]

I am still stuck in the hospital for things not apparently related to my heart.

Thanks for all of the prayers!

Sly, how is the hospital food? And has Mrs. Sly declared that she is going to change your diet now?

[Sly Fox]

I am pleading the fifth on both counts.

[prototype]

[Sly Fox]

Full disclosure, an infection has been ravaging my heart-weakened body for nearly a week. Suffice it to say now more than ever I could use you urgent prayers.

[Kolzilla41]

Praying for you Sly!

[Cider Jim]

Sly, thanks for your update. We will now pray even harder for your recovery!
