On Tuesday evening, December 30, Mike Howell was air evac from Piggott to St. Bernards. According to his mother, he had 3 heart attacks and is scheduled for triple(at least)by-pass sugery on Monday, January 5.
This is the message received this morning:
I called the hospital this morning to talk to whoever was there with him but none of the family was there at that time. The lady at hospital did tell me he was still in intensive care. The # there is 870-972-4232. If someone from his family is there and they will talk to you, you can call there.
As some of you know and I am sure some of you don't know, Mike Howell had a serious heart attach last Tuesday night. He has been in
intensive care at St. Bernard's hospital in Jonesboro since that time. Some of you have called and emailed asking about Mike. I just got off the phone with his mother, Laura Faye and she told me that he was moved into a room today (room 2000). She said considering what has happened, he is doing really good. He is feeling much better and wanted to come home but they told him "NO". He will be in room 2000 until 7am Monday morning at which time they will take him for a 3 possibly 4 bypass surgery. If all goes well, he will be in intensive care for so many hours and then will be transferred into another room. He should be released next Saturday (if all is going as expected) and will be going to his mother's home on 12th street. Mike has his cell phone with him and his number is 870-598-4543 or you can call 870-972-4100 and ask for room 2000.
e-mail received from Donna Parks after a Saturday visit with Mike:
Mike is looking really good and says that he feels good too. He seems to be ready to get the surgery over with and get on with his life. They will be doing the surgery around 7 AM on Monday, January 5, and I think they said it could last up to six hours. You can go to www.sbrmc.com and click on the Ewell link and send him email.
