Thank you for your prayers and interest in my wife. She had the catheterization today, and although she did have a mild heart attack, no treatment is needed (stents or bypass). With proper treatment, the heart should heal in about two months.

The surgeon diagnosed it as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Read more here. Fascinating. I'll tell you more Monday night about "broken heart."

We appreciate your prayers and concern.
