**Long Post Over the past few days I have seen God's mercies and grace over our lives. On Sunday morning 2-2-25 Emmett woke up profusely sweating, shortness of breath and chest heaviness and left arm pain numbness and tingling. He contributed to anxiety which he had been having past few months with stress of business. He laid back down for a while got back up still didn't feel right so he wanted to go get check out. (I did ask him if he wanted to go to the hospital earlier, but he said no still thought it was his anxiety). We went to main campus at Regional standing room only in ER they took us right back drew labs EKG etc. B/P was high for him, we waited back out in the crowded lobby for the test results all of his labs look great, but the cardiac enzymes labs came back high they called back for 2nd set of cardiac enzymes then they came back high again, within 15 minutes of the 2nd set of enzymes resulting we had a room in chest pain center in ER remind you there was no room in the inn! They came in saying he had heart attack that he would need heart catheterization, gave us inpatient room in the heart center. Late Monday he had a heart cath he had 75% blockage in his LAD (widow maker) and received a stent. I was very overwhelmed with the news. Emmett labs were great, and EKG never show any sign of heart issues, when the medical staff would see him, they were shocked because he doesn't fit the mold of a heart attack candidate. After the procedure Emmett said he could breathe better and no chest heaviness. So please if you're having trouble don't ignore it! You only have one heart! Go get checked out! We are home Emmett is resting we have adjustments to make with medications (he only took Vitamin D daily) and getting him to slow down! I also wanted to thank everyone and our family for their calls, text, and most of all your prayers please continue them. Most of all I want to thank the Lord for taking care of Emmett. Also a BIG thank you to all of our staff who is apart of our family at A1 Affordable Septic Tank Service 864-592-1234 they are keeping things running smoothly! Love y’all!
