Sending Prayers Your Way

Hi Steph-

Five years ago, my husband was feeling ill. He walked into the hospital and was able to joke with the nurses.They gave him a diuretic and they were unsure how much to give him. One nurse said, "He's a big guy, let's give him more." I went home for the night and got an emergency call to come back, because my husband was in bad shape. We all went to the hospital and prayed hard because they had to do the whole paddle thing and they thought they were losing him. The doctor came out to talk to me and the kids and we all expected the worst. They kept him in a coma-like state for a week, because, he is high strung and they thought that he would have another heart attack. Finally, I told them that I wanted them to bring him out of that state. Well, they did and he was fine! I think they gave him too much of that diuretic and that's what brought on all the trouble.
They put a pacemaker in and he is doing great!
I will keep praying for him and your whole family! God Bless, Cathy
