LoYe in Hospital

We had quite a scare yesterday. Lo Ye was rushed to the hospital at midnight last night. He had chest pains that didn't go away; he had difficulty breathing. He actually informed that he's had these chest pains the past 7 days, but the pain would go away after a couple of minutes. But on Friday night, the pain continued even after 20 minutes. Very painful. We drove LoYe to emergency.

LoYe had a major heart attack. His front coronary artery was 90% blocked. This type of heart attack is termed the widow maker (most people don't survive this). He had immediate surgery and a stent was put into the blocked artery. We are lucky that LoYe is alive today.

He also found out that two of the other arteries were blocked as well. One is 80% blocked, the other is 30% blocked. LoYe is recovering in the hospital now. Please please hope that LoYe will fully recover from this.
