Still need prayers - thanks, Angels!
 

Our Viking Dad is not doing well and went back to surgery today to draw off fluid in his chest and explore to see what may have gone wrong. They did not come up with a difinitive answer.

We left him just a while ago sedated and still on the breathing machine. We will see what happens when they let him wake up tomorrow morning. I am trying to stay optimistic yet prepare for the worst.

He had CPR two times last night and my sister and I spent the night in his room.
I am so sad that something unexpected has come up in his case. His care team has been nothing but wonderful and you all know how much experience I have with such things!

Pray hard, please.

Steph, I am so sorry about your Dad. Hopefully they will figure this out and he will have a complete turn around...that's my wishes and prayers for your Dad. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you and the family right now. Its great to hear he has a good team of doctors & nurses caring for him.

I am sending warn healing thoughts and prayers his way! Hang in there and let us know how he is doing.

Dear Steph


I am praying for your Dad, you and your family. It is so difficult to see a parent in distress because all you think about is how they have cared for you when your were a child and the fact that you are still their child. Especially your Dad who is the protector. My thoughts are with you as I know this is a hard time as I lost my father many, many years ago.

Sending a big hug from NJ to you

I am keeping you, your dad and your family in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of this latest turn of events. Sending positive energy and prayers across Puget Sound from Poulsbo!

Dear Steph:

I've always admired you and know that you get a lot of your strenth from your mom and dad. I will pray for the best for all of you. Hoping for the best, I would still talk to you dad as if he's up and around, things like "Ive always admired _____ about you, I know I got many of my good qualities from you, etc. When my grandson is on my last nerve I say things along these lines and it helps soothe him, and me...

Dear Steph;

I am sending prayers, and hoping you see improvement this morning. It's a very hard thing when our parents have these big surgeries.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take one day at a time. You need to take good care of yourself and I know you will take good care of your Mom. Some times we take better care of others and neglect ourselves. Will pray tomorrow will be a brighter day. Sending you a big hug from cold, windy Maine. Sandy

Steph...
 

already sent up my prayers. Take care and God bless.

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
