Bleg for prayers or good thoughts (I'm not picky--I'll take what I can get)

Went home Friday night to celebrate the winter and spring birthdays in the family. Great time had by all, etc.... I returned to Austin Saturday night listening to the 'horns getting beat by Duke (I have no idea why I thought they were to play OU).

Got a call from my sister yesterday that Mom had awakened Saturday night/early Sunday morning complaining of indigestion and an inability to sleep. Fortunately, one of my sisters had stayed the night with Mom.

Long story short: Mom spent last night in the East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas and had a stress test for her heart today. She was so stressed before the test that the test was inconclusive. Tomorrow at 8:00 AM she has some kind of dye test to determine the extent, if any, of any heart blockage. I've been through dye tests when I had a vision scare and they aren't too difficult to endure. Mine was acutuall easy.

I spoke to Mom last night and just got off the phone with her tonight. She seems to be in good spirits now...taking this as some kind of wake up call to get on the stick as far as exercise, eating and sleeping goes. I didn't mention this but of those three only the sleeping can help at 81 years of age. Sure, she needs to eat more than she does but at this age she can't change whatever is going on in her heart by diet and exercise.

Options after tomorrow if there is blockage: drug therapy, stint or open heart surgery. I'm holding out hope that there is no blockage and that her inability to sleep Saturday night was a product of having the kids and grandkids around (and my uncanny ability to make her feel like c--p...we had a bit of a fight about the the Fayetteville Shale). Mom is a chronic worrier--a trait I fear she has passed on to her eldest son. Anybody else sleep only 5-6 hours a night?

So, any prayers or good thoughts are appreciated.
