Some people believe women live longer than men because men start accumulating iron sooner. Donating blood reduces stored iron.
Thank you God for answers to prayers.
And may God Bless you and your husband and continue to heal his body.
Prayers for healing, strength and comfort
Prayers on the way for both of you. God bless.
Prayers up for you and your husband...
As a 92-year-old whose 86-year-old wife suffered a mild stroke last year, I can understand, to a lesser extent, the travail that your husband and you must endure...
The Lord makes all final decisions...
Bless you and John. May your husband continue to get stronger and healthier.
Interesting on the iron in men and women. Very much so. Don’t think he’ll be a candidate for blood donation until he’s not taking the meds he’s on. Might be another way to drop the iron levels in his bloodstream in meantime that is safe.
A blessed Easter to you and your husband!
Praying for you and your husband!
Thinking of you
Mrs. teletech and I pray for John’s complete and total recovery. May Gog grant you wisdom and strength.
Prayers for your husband. I am retired from a 40 year career as a Fire Department Paramedic. The technology in the Zoll vest would not have been possible in 1975. Our original monitor/defibrillators were the size of a small suitcase and were powered by a car battery. No computers, only human brains to operate them. I had my own MI (heart attack) in 2018 had numerous catheterizations, 2 ablations and a pacemaker. I’ve tried to take care of myself and am now down to only one cardiac med. My advise would be to learn all you can about his condition and therapies. It helps with the anxiety!
Praying 🙏 for your family sister.
I will definitely learn all I can about his conditions and therapies.
Thank you so very much for your testimony about your heart history, your First Responder history, and knowledge about ZOLL and the history of such similar devices.
Yes in 1975 it would’ve had to be as large as a suitcase to use / power and not near the advancement in technology as it is now.
It is my fervent hope that he’ll not have to be on any cardiac meds after a short span of time, but thankful they are available by generic and utilizing Good Rx and the local Walmart to fill. He has no insurance of any kind, I’ve helped him apply SSDI, they’re quibbling but we’re patient.
Prayers up!!
Thank You for protecting Patriot777's husband and giving him an extended life.
We stand upon Your Promise on behalf of Patriot777:
Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you your heart’s desires. (Psalm 37:4)
May HOLY SPIRIT flow through Patriot777 husband's body. Cleanse him body, mind, and spirit. By JESUS' stripes we are made whole.
May salvation be his. You are not willing for anyone to perish.
In JESUS' Name we pray. AMEN.
Lord, we trust Your Divine timing for John, now that You have gotten his attention. Lead him, we pray, into repentance and surrender to Your mercy and peace. May John be healed in Spirit and in Truth, in the Name and through the power of our Risen Lord, Jesus the Christ. Amen!
What an ordeal!
I’m so sorry you both have had to deal with this.
Prayers up!
Prayers up for both of you.
