MS CHERYL & MR JOE NEED YOUR PRAYERS

LAST FRIDAY, MS CHERYL'S HUSBAND, JOE, HAD A HEART ATTACK AT WORK. HE CALLED HER & WHEN SHE ARRIVED, SHE SAID HE LOOKED REALLY BAD SO SHE HAD EMS CALLED TO TRANSPORT HIM TO MUSC. TODAY, THEY DID AN ANGIOPLASTY & INSERTED 2 STINTS TO OPEN 2 MAJOR BLOCKAGES, WHICH THE DOCTOR SAID ALLEVIATED A MAJOR (PROBABLY FATAL) HEART ATTACK FROM OCCURING ... THANK GOD! HE HAS SMALLER BLOCKAGES AS WELL, BUT DOCTORS THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTROL THOSE WITH MEDICATION, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NEVER ANY GUARANTEES. HE'S IN MAJOR PAIN EVEN THOUGH HE'S ON MORPHINE & OTHER PAIN KILLERS. THIS SHOULD IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT 2-3 DAYS OF WHICH HE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT MUSC. HE HAS FAMILY HISTORY THAT CAUSES THE DOCTORS CONCERN & THE "STOP SMOKING, EXERCISE & A HEALTHY DIET" SPEECH OCCURRED TODAY. WE ALL KNOW THAT ONE, DON'T WE? THE STRESS IS TAKING A TOLL ON MS CHERYL, OF COURSE. WATCHING A LOVED ONE SUFFER & NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP IS SO HARD. AS SOON AS JOE IS ABLE TO SIT UP & TALK WITH HER, I'M SURE SHE WILL FEEL 100% BETTER. SHE & I HAVE OUR APPOINTMENTS WITH DR BYRNE TOMORROW MORNING FOR OUR 1st LABS SO I'LL BE ABLE TO BE WITH HER AGAIN. FAMILY HAS ALSO BEEN VISITING & CALLING HER WHICH IS A COMFORT, FOR SURE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEND THEM AN E-MAIL OF ENCOURAGEMENT ... [email protected] SO, GIVE YOUR FAMILY A BIG HUG TONIGHT & SAY A PRAYER FOR MS CHERYL & MR JOE. I'LL UPDATE AS SOON AS I KNOW ANYTHING MORE. GOD BLESS Y'ALL DAWN & NICK
