OT: Update on my brother

Post by J Miller »

Back in March of this year I asked for prayers for my brother who was being scheduled for extensive spinal surgery.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26276

Then problems showed up with his lungs. He has been a heavy smoker for years and the anesthesiologist felt he was a big risk with his lungs like they were. So he was put on a treatment regimen to clean out his lungs so he could take the anesthesia.

The last I heard was this was helping but taking way tooo long to suit him.

Last night I got a phone call from my brother from the hospital. Last Thursday he was found unconscious on the floor. He'd had a heart attack. I'm not sure how bad it was but he told me they were going to run some more tests and "maybe" he could go home today (7-12).

To be honest I'm worried more about him than I am me..

Thanks for all your prayers, I guess he (we) need more.

Joe

Good thing the surgery was delayed; it could have been the trigger for that heart attack to happen a year earlier.
