Journal entry by Anna Dunker

On November 15, Angela was flown from Bemidji Mn to Fargo Nd to undergo emergency Triple heart bypass surgery.she is out of surgery and will be in a ventilator for atleast 2 more days, until her vitals stabilize and her body shows that it can breath without assistance. Earlier that day she went in for chest pain and nausea and vomiting, she found out she was having a heart attack, they immediately gave her medicine to help, and also took her to imaging where they discovered that she had some clogged arteries in her heart. Upon further inspection at Fargo hospital, it was found that all of the major arteries in her heart were almost completely clogged, so putting in a shunt was not possible.we also found out that not only did she have heart disease and more than likely have had more than 1-2 heart attacks in the last couple months and she didn’t know, she also has lung disease, and we will be getting set up with a dr to look into that and see what the options are. Due to the exstensive  surgery she had, Angela will need all the help she can get, which is where I come in as her daughter,I will be there helping get her to appointments and making sure she follows the rules and takes her meds, but she will be out of work for a couple months to heal and recover, and will have a lot of follow up appointments and new appointments as well. If you or anyone you know who knows Angie, knows she doesn’t like asking for help, so I’m asking for her, anything helps right now and is appreciated! If you’d like to directly donate for her instead of this site, I can set up a cash app or Venmo account for her! Thank you all, and let’s send up prayers for a easy recovery!
