Not a good time for me. I found out that my nearly 75-year-old mom may have congestive heart failure -- her doctor's doing more tests today. My father, who died in 1996, lived 10 years after he was diagnosed with the same disease.
Please pray for me and my mother. I'm not ready to lose another parent.

Steeltrap, I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. My dad, who is 54, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in June of this year. From what I understand, the condition is manageable with proper diet, exercise and medication. I'm still very worried about him, but I am also pleased with the healthy changes he's made in his life. I'm curious, did your dad die of congestive heart failure or did he just have the condition? Well at any rate, I just said a prayer for you and your mom because I know first hand how scary this situation is for you.
