Unexpected Trip to ER

Mark was awakened this morning by mild chest pain. This was the 3rd day he has had it off and on so this morning at 5:00am he decided we should head down to Methodist hospital Emergency room. His blood pressure was elevated and when given a spray of nitro under the tongue it dropped like a stone causing him to break out in a sweat. The emergency room doctors decided to admit him. He is now comfortable in room C524. When asked if he needed to see the hospital chaplain he replied, "no Bonnie Bach is good enough for me." Bonnie is a well respected RN working here at Methodist for years and a good friend. His blood has been drawn and sent down to the labs, his ekg looks fine, the chest exray looks fine so we are anticipating his release soon. He will need to take a stress test probably Tuesday.
