Our Good Friends Dad
I just read on FaceBook that our friend 12 Piece Bucket's Father has suffered a heart attack and is about to undergo surgery. Let's all remember him in our prayers and get him back out on the course quickly!

Kevin

Amazing Grace / Part I / Yoda's Relay From the Front
Just talked with Richard. After being with his father continuously since the heart attack, he made a brief trip home to rest and clean up. I reached him during his 90-minute return to the hospital. Here's a brief summary of our conversation, one that Richard has given me permission to write.

He and his Dad were attending the Duke-Miami basketball game when his father, age 76, suffered a massive heart attack and stopped breathing. The good news is that "about fifteen doctors" from the nearby Duke University Hospital -- one of the world's most renowned medical facilities -- were in the stands. They responded immediately and began CPR.

Three times, there was no pulse.

Three times, they brought him back.

Richard's father is now resting comfortably at Duke. There are complicating factors, and he has not yet had the necessary ventricle surgery. The issues will be resolved in the next day or so, and the surgery will happen.

According to the doctors, this breed of heart attack has a 90 percent fatality rate. Richard's father survived only because of the instant, on-site attention. Had he been anywhere else, he would have died.

There is more to this story, including an amazing sequence of events that resulted in Richard and his Dad being at that particular place at that particular time. Richard will fill in those blanks -- Part II -- when he replies to this thread.

Meanwhile, know that he and his Dad are aware of our concerns, well wishes, and prayers.
