Clarice,

I will immediately sit down with my two children and say a prayer for your husband, Truman.  Also sending prayers for you that you will feel well and have strength through this.  Please keep us updated!

Clarice and Truman,
     The power of prayer cannot be under estimated. And you have lots of prayers being said for you and your family.  Praying for strength for you all.

Clarice ~

I'm so sorry to learn of this sudden medical crisis involving your husband.  As a lifelong Christian who has seen the power of prayer in action - in my life and in others - too many times to mention, I fully realize it's ability to change things.  I will definitely pray for your husband, Truman, that he can be restored to health and be back with you, soon.  I'll add prayers for strength for you and your children, too.  May God bless you with patience and may you feel the calming presence of the Holy Spirit at this time.

Clarice -

I am sorry to hear about Truman (what a beautiful name).  He will be in my prayers and like Dennis said, consider that a given until we hear from you that all is okay.

Please get some rest yourself and try to not worry; we are all thinking of you and Truman.

Best,

Jan

Oh, I knew I could count on all of you!!!  I cannot express adequately enough how warm and comforting it is to know that so many are praying not only Truman, but for me, as well.  When I had my AN surgery in February, 2008 I went in to surgery completely calm and it was only because of all of the prayers being said on my behalf.  Now I am feeling that same calm as prayers are being said for Truman.

He is feeling much better than he did 24 hours ago and I truly believe it is all of the prayers!  Amazingly the A-fib has reverted to normal ...... the cardiologist cannot figure out why, in the midst of a congestive heart failure crisis, it would revert at that point.  He is still having difficulty breathing tonight but he is oh so much better.  He will have a nuclear stress test in the morning because he also has a left bundle branch block that they want to check ..... as well as check for any other coronary-related issues.  So, keep the prayers coming for a while longer.

One of our sons is still here so it is wonderful to have that support.  I am very tired, not only from staying at the hospital, but not resting very well overnight either.  It seems when it is quiet and dark my mind keeps processing the events of the day.

Thanks so much for your care and concern.  Clarice

Clarice,
So glad to hear that they are getting a handle on Truman's health issues.
You and Truman are definitely in my prayers.
Hang in there, rest when you can. He is in good hands.

Count me in Clarice!  Having been under the knife for a Triple Bypass in April '08 at the age of 50 and Six Stents put in since, I know a thing or two about Heart troubles.  I wish your Husband well and will keep him in my thoughts!

Try and rest!

WOW, you all are good!!  Unless something weird happened overnight, Truman is to be discharged today after a very scary week!  His stress test did not reveal any additional problems so we are most grateful!

Truman was very touched when I told him about all of your posts.  He said "Tell them thank you so much for all of their concerns."

Maybe it takes wake up calls like ANs or cardiac issues to make us all more aware of how important we are to each other.  Thank you to all of you from me, as well.
