prayer request

Our wonderful dad Dan Leafblad suffered a heart arrhythmia last night and is in the critical care unit at North Memorial Cardiac Unit (the hospital where he has practiced for 20 years.).

He started having symptoms of a heart attack about 4p.m., took some aspirin, and had Barbara take him the ER. They have determined it was not a heart attack, there is not blockage, etc. and that he may need a pace maker or something like that.

Lars was able to join Dan and Barbara at the hospital. In no time Dan was, of course, making jokes, but it is serious and a team of the best experts around will hopefully diagnose him on Monday to see what his options are.

We are BEYOND GRATEFUL that he listened to the warning signs. Had he not - he would not be with us today. We would appreciate your prayers for Dan to continue to grow stronger and that we get some answers as to WHY this happened tomorrow and what to do next.

Blessings,
Maren, Lars, Kids and Entire Leafblad Family
