This is a moment for all to pray for Governor O'Bannon and his family. Death or incapacitation are the likely outcomes for him at this point. I know because my mother suffered a severe stroke from which she nearly died and has never fully recovered. His situation sounds worse.

We may not agree with his policies or praise his performance in office, but we should certainly recognize that O'Bannon has served the state of Indiana for many years. This service should be recognized.

We should all say a prayer for his recovery and for his family as they now suffer through this difficult time.

Agreed, and well said..

I know because my mother suffered a severe stroke from which she nearly died and has never fully recovered.

Mine too. She was 61 and a few months from retirement. After trying for over 6 years to bring her back to 'normal', we recently had to put her in a nursing home. It has been devastating for all of us, but the strain her care put on the family has driven us all apart and there were no more alternatives.

I agree with you in prayer for the O'Bannon family.

Seems like he was a pretty good guy, from the bio given above.

I will be praying for Governor Frank O'Bannon

My husband suffered a bleed in his brain 2 years ago.

He is on blood thinners for an artificial heart valve and it could have been devastating.

Our prayers were answered and they were able to stop the bleeding by giving him plasma.

He was paralyzed on his left side for a month but he finally was able to walk again and talk, but a lot slower than before.
