Please keep Bret in your prayers. This morning he woke me up at 4:10 this morning to tell me he was having pain in his chest, left arm and jaw and I needed to call the ambulance. They transported him to the hospital where we were told he had a heart attack. When he was stable they took him up to the Cath Lab where they found 9major blockages. They took him by helicopter to the University of Iowa hospitals where he is now having bypass surgery. They will be doing 3-5 bypasses. He went in at about 1:30 and they told us it would take 6-8 hours.
Even in the midst of this, we are thanking God for all the miracles he has already done on our behalf. Rachel has started a carepage where we can update on his status as they told us he would most likely be in the hospital 5-6 days after surgery. You can access the page by going to www.carepages.com and entering btegeler for the page you are looking for.
Thank you all for your prayers!!
