My Aunt Needs Prayers

[DianaB]

Rhonda posted on FB Thursday that they were moving Joan out of CCU and that she does have pneumonia. I had heard that she's only going to be in the hospital for a day or two after they move her to a room so she should be going home today or tomorrow. My Mom and some of the other sisters were wanting to go and check on her but Joan's husband said no. They think that she had too much company the first day and that's what caused her to have such severe pain so I'm sure that she'll be spending a lot of time resting. Believe me, she wouldn't be resting if the girls all came to take care of her!!!! Thanks so much for your prayers!!

Hope your aunt continues to improve Diana.

I just received a call from my Aunt Marva and, I guess, that Joan got out of the hospital yesterday but today she's having severe chest pains and her husband called 911 for an ambulance to take her back. Marva didn't think that it sounded very good and she was really upset. Please remember Joan and our family still in prayer. Thanks!!

Of course Diana! .....as always....

I'm so sorry about your aunt! She may still have blockage somewhere. Hopefully they can fix it with another stent. Heart problems are so upsetting. Mike had a heart attack when he was 40, and he's now almost 56 and living just fine with 7 stents. I'll bet your aunt gets just fine Please keep us updated when you can.

Keeping your aunt in my prayers..

Sorry to hear your aunt isnt well Diana, thinking of you all and keeping your family in my prayers.

Mom called last night and Joan's had a "slight" heart attack caused from the stent being blocked. The drs were able to get some blood to flow through it and this morning they were going to decide what to do. They have her on blood thinners so they're not sure about open heart surgery which is what the next step is. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Your poor family...I'll bet everybody was scared to death! I hope your aunt doesn't have to have surgery! I'll be praying for her. Thanks for the update!

[DianaB]

Here's what my cousin, Rhonda, had to say today......

Mom was stable today. They have her on a machine to help her heart and meds to keep her calm. Pray that they are open the stent in the morning....if not, we will have to have bypass.

[Marilyn]

Oh, Diana, so hope that all goes well and that she is better very, very soon!!

Diana, I hope she can get well without the surgery. My prayers are with you and your family.

Mom called this morning and they're going to do a 4 bypass either later this afternoon or tomorrow morning. She still has too much blood thinner in her blood. Mom's heading to Arkansas to be with her tomorrow. She invited me to go but with all of the sisters going (I'm sure that they'll all be heading there as well.) I'm afraid that I'd be more in the way than I'd help. Thanks again for all of your prayers.

I'm so sorry about your aunt. It sounds like she has a great support system. Please warn your mom that your aunt will look awful right after her surgery...it's a shocking sight if you aren't prepared. My prayers are with you all. Just try to remember that her doctors do this every day...I'm sure they're great at it.
