Need Prayer for Dana and Family

Hey all, something for everyone to be praying about.

Dana's Father Tom, and Grandpa Robert are both in the hospital with heart issues. Robert has congestive heart failure, so fluid around the heart. The docs have been able to get rid of the fluid and are now setting a new drug therapy and will monitor him for the next 3 days. Prognosis looks good.

Tom was admitted to the hospital today after having chest pains for the last month off and on. After tests and an angioplasty the Cardiologist found that he has 3 occlusions in the vascular of his heart, one being 99% blocked. He will require a triple by-pass on his heart in the next couple of days. Currently he is stable and in the ICU under observation. He seems to be comfortable.

Obviously this is stressful on Dana and we need your prayers for all of this in so many ways but my concern is for my Mother-in-Law Bonnie. She has a husband in the hospital, a father in the hospital, and a daughter fighting cancer-PRAY GOD'S PEACE for her.

We are trusting God in so many ways; for healing, doctors direction and wisdom, clarity of thought, guidance, peace, comfort that only the Holy Spirit can give, and rest.

We know God is Faithful, we just don't always "get" what's going on.

Bring it on!

Mark

Dana,
Pete and I do not even know
how much you and your family can
handle. You are in our prayers and
now so are Tom and Bonnie. Please
give both of them a hug from me.
Please let Bonnie and Tom know
how much we care and miss them
PS. Pete wants to see Tom
on the golf course again.
God bless
