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 up
Praying for your husband, you and all your family.
All our prayers for him and your family are powerful.
At 52 I had a 99% blocked widowmaker artery. Had two stents.
I've been on the statins for a few months after but gave them up due to horrible muscle craps...so be careful with them. Bad for the brain too.
What I'm doing to literally clean out my arteries is high doses of K/D3 with normal doses of magnesium, and high doses of Natto extract. Also doing high doses of (Pycnogenol) French maritime Pine Bark Extract and Goto Kola.
Gotta watch the inflammation in his system - it might be what is causing the inner wall plaque. I definitely am not a believer in the cholesterol as a main culprit.
Lord's blessing to you both!
Prayers for John and fast, complete healing, and for you as you support him through it all.
I don’t post often, but read here several times a day. I will be looking for updates on your husband. Please remember to take care of yourself, especially while John is hospitalized. He has experts taking care of him.
Prayers sent up for you both

When I pray the Lord’s Prayer I interject my own family and ask that His will be done in their homes, in their lives and in their hearts and that they would become more sensitive to all that He whispers to them. It is a beautiful prayer.
John is in my Prayers. In Jesus’ Name I Pray.Amen!!!
