Bringing Up Bates‘ Gil Bates is recovering after suffering a heart attack shortly after his son Warden‘s wedding.
“Once again, the Lord has been so merciful to us!” Gil’s wife, Kelly Jo Bates, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, September 30. “For the past 2 weeks, Gil has felt an unusual feeling in his chest lasting about 30 seconds off & on, and occasionally his jaw would hurt. He wasn’t in pain, but he felt like something wasn’t right.”
“Busy schedules, work, & the fact that he didn’t know for certain that something was wrong kept him from going to the hospital,” she continued. “On Mon night, after finishing a tree job & mowing several yards, he decided to drive to the ER, thinking they’d do some blood work & send him home. Instead, he was quickly whisked into a room & was told he was having a mild heart attack.”
Kelly Jo then explained that doctors worked quickly to give her husband the proper medications and a cardiac catheterization to diagnose his blockage.
“The cath procedure took 4 hrs, as they had to do extensive work to the LAD artery (nicknamed the widow maker),” Kelly Jo added. “He had 80 percent blockage in that artery & a lot of calcium buildup. A regular balloon would not open it, so they used Shockwave (lithotripsy) & then placed a 24 mm stent in it. Next, they put a 48mm stent (the longest stent) in the RCA artery in the back of his heart (where he had the actual heart attack). He had a 95 percent blockage in that artery.”
The former reality star concluded her post by revealing the doctor referred to Gil as a “ticking time bomb” and that he was “extremely close” to having a major heart attack.
Kelly Jo then thanked Gil’s team of doctors before sharing he was being released from the hospital that day and will be begin cardiac therapy next week.
