Re: (...)
Fredia wasn't feeling too well last night, cold, clammy skin, etc. So we called 911 they took her to the hospital and while she was in the Emergency Room she had a heart attack. They whisked her immediately up to the Cardiovascular Lab and put a stint in. The artery was completely blocked. They caught it soon enough that they think there was little or no damage to the heart. She was doing well as of 2:00 AM and I am on my way back in. It's always nice to have friends to help me through these things. My love to you all. I'll get back to you later today.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

How very, very fortunate that she was already in the ER when she had the heart attack. My thoughts go out to her, to you Billy, and to your family.

You know you can count on it, Billy. Fredia has sure been through a lot this year. Please tell her she is in my thoughts and prayers and give her a big hug from me. And give yourself one too!

My prayers are with you. I'm so glad that you were able to get her to the hospital before too much damage was done to her heart.
Wish you were near so we could cook for you

I am so very sorry Billy, I do wish it hadn't happened, but since it did, I am so glad she was in the 'right place' for instant response. Our Fredia has been in the wars for too long now, do give her a big fat cuddle from us, and have one yourself Billy, Prayer are on automatic for Fredia, and for you.

Billy, I can only echo what everyone else has said. How lucky she was to be at the ER, how fortunate she is to have you for a brother.
Lots of love and hugs to you both,
