Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- Former Mayor Bob Coble's family released a statement on the condition of his health today.
Coble was struck by a major heart attack while at the Statehouse last week, and had a quadruple coronary bypass done that afternoon.
From Daniel Coble:
"As Dad's doctors and nurses provide post-operative treatments, his vital signs are improving. We are particularly encouraged by his progress over the past 24-48 hours. But, Dad suffered a major heart attack and we know that his road to recovery will be a long one. Our family asks everyone to keep the well wishes and prayers coming as medical professionals continue to provide around-the-clock care for 'Mayor Bob.'"
The family, along with Nexsen Pruet, the law firm Coble works with, express thanks for the fast action taken on April 15th by the Statehouse personnel and on-site health care professionals.
