Hospital with Rich

I am creating this blog while waiting, waiting, waiting at U of U Hospital. Rich is having heart surgery today. Most of you know that he has been passing out alot lately...sometimes several times a day and after a ton of different tests, they finally narrowed it down (we hope) to his heart mis-firing....something to do with his heart's electrical system....it somehow tells his brain to shut down. Since Christmas it has got increasingly worse...and increasingly scarier with him driving. Easter Sunday he passed out at the top of our stairs and was having a hard time breathing and started convulsing (we think) so David called 911. We weren't sure if he hit his head on the stairs or what. Needless to say, it woke up our neighborhood and had people thinking it was David when the ambulance, paramedics and fire truck showed up. Once Rich came to, Rich refused to go to the hospital because he knew there was nothing that the hospital could do, especially since he was already scheduled for surgery today. As I am typing this, the Doctor came out and said that he is doing well, and they think they were able to find the spot in the heart that is mis-firing and cauterized it and hopefully will stop his passing out. He might even be able to go home tonight.
