Journal entry by Tina Blackney —
On Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 9:30 pm We were going to bed and Russ started having trouble breathing. He told me to call the EMT's to take him to the Hospital. He had minor heart attack (Acute on chronic combined systolic and diastolic congestive heart failure and Acute respiratory failure with Hypoxia). The treatment plan is to perform a heart cathitor and add to medication routine. Three new medications are Furosemide (Lasix), Lisinopril (Prinivil), and Magnesium oxide(Mag-Ox). Now we add a cardiologist to his Care team.
He said he still plans on fight this as long as he can. So all prayers are welcomed and thank for the love and care.
