Please continue to pray for John Barlow

[Catmom]

Many thanks to those on FR who responded to my prayer request from last week. As promised, here is an update.

John has had serious heart issues for many years. He had a heart attack in his late 40s and has since had stents placed. Recently, he has experienced new chest pain.

He underwent an elective heart cath last week which shows he needs a four way cardiac bypass. His surgery will be done either this weekend but no later than Monday.

This means he has serious coronary artery disease but he is in one of the better medical centers in western Washington.

Please continue to pray for him. I will keep you all up to date. Thank you and may God bless.

There’s a huge difference between being in a top hospital with top doctors or Reno. I unfortunately know this from recent experience. I hope Mr Barlow is getting the best care available.

He’s in his late 60s and hails from the San Luis Obispo area, I believe.

I had triple-bypass heart surgery in 1988 at the age of 45. I am now 75. The medical procedures and medications have greatly improved since 1988. Chances are that John will be just fine! ;-)

I am in the process of doing our church bulletin and will put John on the prayer list.
