Spark's Heart

Rhonda took Spark into Proctor Hospital, he had been having chest pains for a week and a half. They rolled him in for an angiogram around noon and we are still waiting to hear the results.
Mark and I took a quick trip out to the farm. Steven was there and had cleaned out the paddocks, we thought he was having his family Thanksgiving today but it was actually yesterday. Steven was hand walking Sanna when we pulled up. We came to put in a round bale for Ribbon but he had already done that.
Izadora was pulled out for teasing, still no sign of her coming in. She was wormed with Quest since we had her out and she is not yet in foal. Raven was then taken over to Sandy where again he had no luck, still no sign of Sandy being in. Raven was the other horse at the farm wormed with Quest. The only other horse that should have been done but didn't think of it was Aragon. All the rest are either pregnant or too young to use that wormer on. One Quest was brought home for Autumn and I'll get her done later.
Mark is busy building a fire and as soon as it warms up in the living room I'll be lying in front of the fire taking a long awaited NAP.
Just got word about Spark, the email below is from Diane:
Hi Everyone,
Sparky is o.k. His main artery was 99% blocked and they were able to put a stint in. He should be able to come home tomorrow.
Thanks for the prayers,
Diane

What she didn't say in the email but told me on the phone that Spark was very close to having a massive heart attack. It is amazing what doctors can do without invasive surgery.
