Hey, kind hearts. A prayer request…my wife’s mom, 80+, went to the hospital to have a heart valve replaced. (My dad had this done this summer and came through fine.) The replacement went fine, but she suffered several seizures and probably a stroke afterwards. We are going on four days after the operation, and she has not “woken up” so it doesn’t look good. She has a living will that specifies no feeding tube. My wife is really broken up about this, and the doctor wants to see “the entire family” on Monday.
So, please, prayers for a miracle for Ginny Koon, prayers of peace for my wife and her siblings (including a live-at parents home sister who is REALLY emotionally tied to her mom), and prayers of stability for our household as well, as my wife has taken five of her first fifteen days away from her new, well-paying temp job, and that is keeping us afloat right now. Also, prayers for my daughters, five and eleven, who may be getting their first taste of loosing a family member. The sole bright light is that she was a believing Christian, and goes to better things, but that is sometimes little consolation to those remaining here.
will do.
Prayers for the family. Keep the faith.
Prayers. My 75 year old aunt had the same thing happen some six months ago. She is about 80% now. Best wishes to all.
Done

Father, we come praising your Holy Name and asking that Your Hand will touch this woman and her family now with Your Divine Wisdom and Healing Power. In The Name Of Jesus we give You Thanks Amen.
I lift you and your lovely family up to God. I ask for healing of all kinds, and for faith to accept God's answers.
Let your family feel your love and strength, that you may be the arms of God for them...
Prayers for your family during these times
Praying for Ginny Koon and allt he family members especially the daughters and grandchildren. Yes, she will be going to a place better but as you said...that doesn't do much for the pain everyone is feeling. Will pray she comes out of her coma. If not, we will pray that in time, the family can remember their mother with laughter and happy memories rather than tears. It will take time. I lost my parens in 1985 and 1995 and we all still shed tears now and then. It's natural and no matter how old the parent or child ... it is empty when you lose a parent and you think of them every day for the rest of your life. I have. God bless everyone and may Ginny Koon find peace either on this earth with her family or in Heaven with her maker.
Prayers sent for everyone in your family.
