Please Pray for Pops!

My father-in-law is in the hospital and needs your prayers. Last weekend, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance because he thought he was having a heart attack. They said that it was just a severe panic attack and sent him home. They suggested he have a stress test on his heart just to be safe. He had that on Wednesday and they called him yesterday saying there was blockage and he needed a heart cath and if it didn't work, it could possibly lead to open heart surgery. He went to the hospital this morning to meet with the doctor and they ended up admitting him. While he was having various scans and such, they discovered four or five small blood clots in his lungs. They decided that this was the thing to take care of first, so they put him on blood thinner and are keeping him for a couple of days. He will have to come back in about 2 weeks for the heart cath. The doctor told him he was lucky to be alive. Please keep Pops in your prayers!!!
