Thanks to all who previously had prayers for him last week for his heart surgery.
The short of it is he had to go back today as he's got some pericarditis, inflammation of the heart sac. Symptoms are mostly identical to the pain of having open heart surgery so it got to a point where he had to go back and have them make sure the grafts were ok (they are) and give him a steroid to get the inflammation down.
They are stil l running tests to figure other things out, but if you can still keep him in prayer he cannuse it. He's pretty exhausted from all this and sleep deprived, plus appetite is not what it should be, understandably.
Thanks,
Prayers continuing for your dad, SAM.
Prayers lifted for Your Dad and for You and Your Family. Praise the LORD in all things.
Prayers up for your Dad.
Prayer of agreement Bump.
Prayers Up!
Thanks all for the prayers, they certainly help.
He’s doing a lot better today, they gave him a steroid for the inflammation and that worked well. He’s going to be taking some oral steroids for awhile after he’s back home recovering to let the heart lining heal and not get inflamed again.
Good news.
Yes— that IS good news. Thanks for the update. Prayers continue.
Prayers for your father and for you.
Much CoQ10 recommended.
One of the best anti-inflammatories.
Also needed by any person taking statins.
