angiogram on my FIL

last friday i was on medical leave, down with high fever. not only that.. i was awaked with an early call from my MIL, requesting hubby to bring my FIL to hospital due to breathing problem. he was rushed to emergency room at university medical center for check-up and was admitted later for further monitoring. he's a diabetic and was detected with blood vessels blockage, which caused of heart problem.

on 6 nov, he went for angiogram - a procedure/surgery to improve blood flow to the heart by reconnecting the blood vessels supplying the heart by inserting a balloon-tipped tube through an artery in the arm. 3 cardiologists attended him on this procedure to help widen the narrowed artery by inflating the small balloon. alhamdulillah, the procedure went smooth, although it tooks almost 4 hours to finish. it was the same procedure done on my dad at IJN few months back, with only 1 blockage.

now, he is back home resting. get well soon baba!
