I appreciate the thoughts and prayers guys.
Well I got more news. Basically they are saying that this isn't an acute problem but more an issue of his heart being tired of working. He had his first heart attack when he was 34 and it's been downhill since then. So there is nothing they can really do except try to treat the symptoms. Basically his heart is just simply failing...
We are scraping the bottom of the barrel right now trying to get us flown up there to see him. It's not for sure yet but I think with the help of friends and family we are going to be able to make it up there. Flights made on short notice in December aren't cheap
