Dear beloved fellow FReepers, please keep my husband in your prayers. John had a massive heart attack at 3:30 AM on April 2, 2025, though his heart was likely emitting C-Reactive Protein two days before. He said that he seemed to have pulled a muscle in his left chest and around his neck. We know better now. He had been doing some work around the house.
I called 911 and about roomful of FD EMTs and techs and others showed along with an ambulance not long after. The firehouse is right up the street from us. PRAISE THE LORD.
John was taken straightaway to the hospital ER and straight to the Cath Lab, where I waited out in the SICU waiting area for quite a long while.
His cardiac doc came out and informed me, gently as he could, that my beloved had had a violent heart attack and had many blocked arteries (he placed two stents). 48 hours later two more. My hubby was in SICU for I think 4 days before they put him in his own room. Maybe 5 days.
So he’s recovering in the Cardiac Intermediate Unit, doing pretty well. On loads of meds, oxygen, and deemed a candidate by his doctor for open heart surgery and possibly a pacemaker that delivers shocks.
He’s to be fitted with a ZOLL LifeVest for being at home.
It made me sick to think I might lose my beloved. Just a type of shock and grief and sadness and nausea. Just stunned, like being popped and knocked across the ground by a strike of lightning.
Please pray for his healing. For all his meds to be 100% or near that from charge (no way I can pay for it: I’ve gotten in touch with Rx Outreach / doctor will communicate and direct which meds and dosages, etc). He has no insurance or benefits (has applied for SSD).
Jesus has been so very merciful and gracious and mighty and powerful and a Wonderful, Loving Father in all of this. I know He’ll keep us safe, my beloved John safe and taken care of.
God has helped me understand and be able to work with research and documentation and communication and learning, and I’m so Blessed to have the use of a PC and printer than can do pretty much everything I need done.
My husband so much needs someone who can do that right there, right with him, and because of The Lord I’m able to.
Jesus has already been lining folks up to guide us in getting things filled out, arranged, the right medical agencies / associations dealing with financial aid.
Thank you so very much for your prayers in advance.
From the bottom of our hearts❤️ we so much thank you. We’ll keep you posted.
Prayers for you and your husband, Patriot.
Prayers for you both.
Prayers up for you and John.

You all realize God already knows what we need before we even ask. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t bother to ask. I’ve been praying the Lord’s Prayer a lot lately. It’s the perfect prayer! Peace to you in your tough times. My wife recently survived a heart attack also. That feeling of impending loss is horrible! All Gods best.
Father we ask that you heal John as soon as possible. May his doctors find the right combination of medication that will restore his strength. We also ask that you grant comfort to his wife and family.
Be assured he’s in my prayers, Patriot.
So frightening to realize how suddenly these things can occur. And yet when the truth hits home that God is in control of every aspect of our lives, and especially those who have accepted Him as Savior and Lord..PEACE comes!!!
Rest assured I will be praying for you and John!

Praying for full healing and financial blessing and much needed caregiver help. In Jesus’s Name, amen.

Hoping for the best and a speedy recovery....
Prayers for a complete recovery!
Prayer for you both. You are the most important medicine your husband has.
