Daily Prayer Thread !!!Plus The Word

I don't even know how to begin explaining what happened today : (

Not good sums things up.

They did the heart catheterization and angiogram and found WAY more blockage than we were ever expecting. A couple of major arteries are 99% blocked and another one that is at least 85% blocked. There's a LOT of calcification everywhere. Things looked so bad that his cardiologist didn't feel qualified to place any stents because the arteries are so brittle. And he truly doesn't believe that any surgeon will agree to bypass surgery because there's really no good arteries to bypass to! Good Lord. :\

His cardiologist is going to speak with a couple of surgeons just to confirm that they don't feel it's worth the risk to do the bypass surgery. The next step will be to speak to some other extra special specialists/surgeons who specifically operate on severely damaged/blocked arteries. I can't remember what he called these folks. Some initials of some sort. I think they involved the letters C and O, if anyone has any idea?

I don't know. As soon as things turned so negatively while speaking with his cardiologist and looking at the x-ray images/video showing all of the blockage/damage, I immediately started telling myself not to cry. Don't start crying. Do NOT cry! And I missed some details. : (

Today sucked. Things are really much worse than I ever imagined. His only Saving Grace is one thick, unblocked artery that is picking up the slack for all of the others that are just shot. He mentioned a couple of arteries that are just shit. Used some O word. Sorry I can't explain this any better. I wish I could because I sure could use some insight.

As soon as I found out back in September that he might have blockage I began researching supplements/vitamins that could help. I got CoQ10, vitamin K2, Cholestene and a liquid supplement called Hawthorn Blend. He’s been taking these regularly since each arrived. We’re switching to a heart-healthy diet 100%. No more cheating (for him anyway). And he HAS to quit smoking 100%. He did really good for a little while, but then I found out he was sneaking cigs occasionally.

So basically I have to become Hitler around here. And be that nagging girl I never wanted to have to be. This man won’t last long otherwise. He might not even with me being Hitler. This is scary. Very scary. My mind is just spinning. But I will do my part. Whatever and everything that that entails.

Praying for all

Praying for Millie and S.P.

:s27heart7:

I will keep Millie in my prayers

:s27treeheart:

Very sorry to read this. I'll keep yall in my prayers, along with everyone else here with requests in the thread. Don't post or log in much lately, but try to pop in sometimes to see who needs praying for.

The brightness in all this, Simple, is that he has you and love and I think I remember you live in an area near good doctors. So there is hope. And prayers. And God. And I believe in miracles and hope you do, too.

Scrolling through the last few pages, I've noticed a lot of people with heart issues and they seem relatively young, some of them. My best friend's husband (he's 50 I think) went in for a triple bypass when they found blockages during an exam prior to another scheduled surgery. When they went in, there were 5 blockages and they had to do 5 bypasses on arteries with 70 to 90% blockage in each. That was nine weeks ago. Just two days ago, they stopped off at the house on his Harley and he was doing well and has been back at work for almost a month now. So, see, there is hope. Even in dire cases. I'm glad your guy is aware of his condition and has doctors, good doctors.

It's late and I'm rambling, sorry. And ignoring the not so good outcome in my own situation, because the key here is to be positive for everyone. I pray for miracles for all of you, whether it is a cold or heart problems or memory issues, etc. And I pray for the very best outcomes possible if we can't have miracles.

Be well everyone and sorry I didn't quote all the other people with prayer requests. I've read them and will go say some prayers now.

She definitely needs a life alert type arrangement, and to keep it on her person at all times. That's in addition to whatever company or assistance she chooses to have. They won't generally be there 24/7, but a buzzer is.

I have a friend with A-Fib. She takes a drug which prevents clotting, and sees her doctor regularly. That's all it takes for her - she's in her mid-fifties.

Occluded is the word you were looking for. It's another way of saying blocked or closed, as in the artery is 48 per cent occluded.

I'm so sorry you had such an awful day - your life must seem turned completely upside down right now. However, I have good news for you! God is still God.

God is never surprised - He knows our ends from our beginnings and everything in between. He knew your husband would learn these things about his health today, and He knew how you would feel. He loves you both very much, and is right next to you in this. You are never alone - you have Him, and you have us.

Lord Jesus, thank you for this beautiful sister in Christ. Father, You know how she feels right now, and what she needs. We ask that You would fill those needs as only You are able, giving her peace, relief from the shock and fear, and with hope to go on tomorrow.

We pray for her husband, Lord, that you would give him peace in the midst of this storm, and remind him that You said "We are going to cross the lake." He didn't say "We will cross the lake as long as there's no storm." Please remind this ill man that the boat IS going to cross the lake, and all will be well.

Please give our dear sister an extra measure of help tonight and tomorrow, Lord, as she walks in the new reality. Hold her up and shine light on her path. We thank you for all these things, Lord, that we have just prayed in faith in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Pool, what did the doctor say, beside to stay home tomorrow? How is your chest? We continue to pray for you.
Hugs

I'm healing with your prayers, quickly.

Pooka, I didn't go there after work.

I ate a little a pre-cooked chicken, guzzled natural mineral water, had an epsom salt bath and crawled in bed. After all the stuff I've been taking, I think it crest yesterday (fingers crossed). I added Thyroid support (ashwagandha root) last night, since my first symptom was a hoarse voice. (It didn't cross my mind it might have been a thyroid issue. But it mimics the flu.)

It's working, especially with your prayers.

All in all, I'm probably "normal" sick now. I am taking: bendryl, tylenol, chewable Vitamin C, magnesium, L-Lysine, ashwagandha, rhinocort nasal spray and 30 year old bee pollen. I'll crank-up the oil of oregano diffuser again and another hot bath before my morning crash.

Thank you guys so much for your prayers. I am better this morning.

Sweet Simple ,
I have a friend ,he is in 70s and he needed knee and hip surgery. When he went to get test for surgeries they found only 18% of his heart was working. They would not do his surgeries even though he was in great pain. His heart is so bad they do not know why he is till walking. He found a Dr to do both surgeries and he is fine. His heart is the same , he is a strong man of faith. Our hearts stop when God wants , we live and breathe because God wants. No Dr ,no diagnosis can change that.

Dear Heavenly Father , we lift Simple up to You and her loved one we ask the enemy loss power and Simple have the faith that no matter what happens their lives are in Your hands in Jesus name amen

I am agreeing with you in prayer GFG. In Jesus name.

Simple this scenario with the heart sounds so much like what is going on with my in law. She is only a year or so away from getting on Medicare and her husband is already retired. So she found herself temporarily without insurance. No one will help her because of having no insurance.

2 Chronicles 7:19-20 and Romans 9 shows why Jesus was on the first page and last of Scriptures.

I read through each and every request on this thread and praying for all.

The request are getting longer for churches and here

When I saw the demands being made to put warnings in Bibles where there was anything that would offend , I stood in awe. I stood in awe God knew this would happen in 2 Timothy...

Thanking the Lord for your improvement! Hope after you are completely well you will continue to take 1,000 mg. Vitamin C every day. I have not had a cold or the flu in like forty years doing that. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, always.

The hot baths must feel wonderful! How about adding hot tea with lemon and honey in it. Loosens congestion, soothes the throat, does great things!

Thank you so much for letting us know of your improvement! Please keep getting "weller".

Hugs

My goodness, what a crazy request. So happy you had both peace and awe over it!

Praying for all in need.
God Bless all.

A lovely way to put it. Healing prayers sent out also.

Hey prayer warriors, who signs their karma green with "Susie?" I want to return the karma green, but I've forgotten and I'm unable to attach her real name to GLP name...

thanks..

I am praying for both of you ! Hugs to you, my friend !

It's Christian

Millie has been on blood thinners since she had her heart attack and bypass 23 years ago. Maybe the doctors will just change her meds. She is getting more tests run today. Millie is just an absolute rock ! Yesterday she said she expects to get well enough to go to the food pantry next monday, as she has work to do !
