Comments: Dear Joan, I'm sure you remember me as the son of Gary
Bartay. I have some bad news to report. My father was struck with a major heart
attack on the afternoon of 28 Dec. 99. I went to Dallas to see him in the
hospital the same night and I stayed there with my stepmother for 4 days. He
showed significant signs of improvement while I was there. When I got to Dallas
he was on a ventilator, feeding tube, lots of drugs, and other attachments. He
did not respond to me but by the second day he could squezze my hand tight and
his vital signs had stablized. On day three he looked even better. still
squeezing my hand, he could nod up and down in response to me. I left Dallas the
following day. My sister went to go see him the day before yesterday (Jan. 2)
and she said that he was doing great. He was off the ventilator and feeding tube
and was able to talk. One doctor had said that, " 95% of the patients
brought in under his condition do not recover as quickly." Uncle! Tandy and
aunt Joy came to visit during my stay there. The doctors are looking at a
possible bypass surgery in about 2-3 weeks. I'll tell you, it has been the
longest 7 days of my life. I dont want to get to optimistic about the whole
situation of him recovering quickly. I feel I might jinx it. I have never prayed
so hard either. If you have any good ones of your own, now is the time. My
father is to young and to good of a man to go now. If you wish to check up on my
father from time to time, I have xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Its (xxx)
xxx-xxxx. you can call it 24 hours a day, and when you do call, they will let
dad know who it was and that the person sends him your best hopes. well I guess
thats all for now. I hate to be the bringer of bad news. I might go to dallas
again in a couple of weeks. They said they might have him walking by then. Until
then, lets keep our fingers crossed and our prayers strong. I'll keep you
updated on his situation as info ! comes to me. talk to ya later.
Sincerly, Mark A. Bartay
