Prayers needed .....
« on: October 25, 2009, 06:05:27 am »
To my AN Family:

Because I know many of you are good pray-ers, please keep my husband, Truman, in your prayers.  He was admitted to the hospital Thursday night with severe atrial fibrillation in his heart, low blood pressure, and a very rapid heart rate.  Last night he developed fluid in the lungs.  This is a man who had not been in the hospital (as a patient  :-*) for 55 years.

As you can imagine, I am exhausted and wonkyheaded with exhaustion do not mix very well.   :(

Two of our children came yesterday so that is a big help.

Clarice,

You and your husband are definitely in my prayers.  I hope he has a quick recovery and you are able to keep the wonkyheadedness to a minimum.  Let the nurses take care of him - you take care of you! 

Keep us posted.

Clarice,
I'm a newbie here and realize the importance of prayer.  Once can't have too many of them come their way.  I wish your husband Truman a speedy recovery and your entire family well health. God Bless...
