Default Wakeup call

Hey guys,
Had a coworker go in for a stress test, they promptly sent him for a heart cath. Then promptly did double bypass surgery this past Wed. morning. He's 46. Had what they call a "widow maker" in the main artery. Dr. told him there are no symptoms, when they go, you die. He's doing well. I made the trip to see him this morning. He's the type that has to keep busy. His wife has got a job on her hands, but I think she can handle him. Keep him in yalls prayers.
Joe
