My Aunt Needs Prayers

[DianaB]

I got a call this evening from my Mom and one of her sisters, Joan, was put in the hospital today with chest pains and the possibility of surgery if her tests didn't turn out well. Mom called later to say that she was bad enough that they went ahead and did the balloon thing and put in a stent. She called again a third time and said that they were taking Joan back into surgery because they think the stent has gotten clogged.

Joan is one of my favorite aunts. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is so much fun to be around. Please remember her in prayer along with all of our family. Thanks so much. I'll keep you posted on how she's doing.

Mom called again and the second surgery went well. The drs found out that the stent was fine and not causing any problems. I guess that Joan had a blockage that the drs thought was causing her the pain and that it had already started re-routing. She also had an older blockage that had already re-routed. She's going to be staying in the hospital for a few days so they can keep an eye on her. I'm so glad. I was really, really worried. I just can't image losing one of my aunts.

Diana, so glad to read she is doing better and that you're not quite as worried. I know how close you are with your aunts and I will continue to keep her and your family in my prayers.

Diana, so glad that the news is better and that she should be fine. We all know how close you are to you're mom and her sisters. Will pray that she stays well!!!

Thanks so much, Janet and Marilyn. I haven't heard anything this morning so she must be doing alright. Any problems and the girls (Mom and her sisters) are on the phone right away with each other. I just can't even imagine how hard it would be if something was to happen to one of them.

Diana, it sounds like they have it under control. I am so happy for you. I have an aunt who I love so much, so I know how you feel.

My ex had a major heart attack, and had 2 angioplasties - the first one collapsed, and has been just fine for the last 14 years. It is amazing what can be done!

You and your family will be in my prayers.

it is always hardest on the family members to see our loved ones go through any sickness. Prayers for your Aunt, her family and caregivers. Hugs.
