How is your hubby doing? What did the stress test reveal? keeping you both in prayer. As I hit reply, the other posts came up. But I am curious as to what the Dr's recommend in his future? Activity? Diet? etc....

Thanks for asking, Tina! He is doing amazingly well! He is actually praising God for the heart attack because it was the wake-up call he needed. The stress test confirmed that it was a mild heart attack, but he is expected to make a full recovery. The doctor would like to get him started on a prescription drug, but since he's already on three prescriptions for other illnesses (including diabetes and thyroid disease), he has decided to go the natural route, using diet, exercise, and supplements to heal. He did agree to take a baby aspirin every day on his doctor's advice.
In addition, he recently jointed a health club, and the doctor is pleased with that decision but advised him not to push himself too hard.
Along with various heart supplements, he is also using a wonderful supplement called Vitalzym, which is excellent at cleaning the arteries of plaque.
I have seen a dramatic improvement in Alex since the heart attack. Before the heart attack, he was listless, lethargic, and tired all the the time. He lived a sedentary lifestyle and was finding it difficult to exercise outside in the heat of the summer. After the heart attack, God led Alex to a very affordable health club right in our neighborhood, and I think the regular exercise has increased his energy level. He is even in better spirits than he was before the heart attack. In fact, he almost seems like whole new person!
I have also been making a conscious effort to cook more heart-healthy meals. We have a lot of soup now (we love Progresso, and Alex is especially fond of their Minestrone), and I make more vegetarian meals with little or no dairy.
God is so good for creating such healthy ways for the body to heal! To Him be the glory!
