Prayer for my wife

[treefarmer]

My wife had a dizzy spell and experienced some issues on her right side Saturday afternoon. Finally talked her into going to the ER in Panama City where the doctors said she may have had a very light stroke , a TIA?, or something to that effect. She will undergo more test tomorrow and be checked by a neurologist.
I am thankful for a praying church and praying friends on this end of the world and would be grateful if the praying members of AAPK would lift her up also. Her name is Joy. Thank you, Treefarmer

Prayers of peace and calm for you treefarmer and for a good report on Joy

Update on Joy: She had a good day, still one more MRI on Monday, then a consultation with the doctor. She is up and about in her room, ate 3 full meals and remade the bed 'cause it wasn't just right! Still a small issue with coordination of right hand. She's ready to get back home. Please continue to lift her up. Thank you for your prayers for our family. Treefarmer

Praying for Joy today that all goes well with her test today in Jesus name amen.

Update on Joy: MRI revealed that a small stroke had occured and in fact several strokes so small she didn't even know they had occured in the past, according to the neurologist. He wants to do an additional heart scan on Tuesday to see if her heart is the cause of the minute clots that are probably causing the strokes. It's amazing what the Lord has blessed man to do in the medical world, and it's amazing what the Lord can do in spite of man's knowledge. Continue to remember her in your prayers. The only outward sign of the stroke is weakness in her right hand, she is having difficulty writing as neatly as she did before this happened. We are hoping she will come home tomorrow afternoon.

Update on Joy: Feeling good today, however the test that was scheduled for this morining was put off till Wed. morning as the cardiologist and neurologist have to work together and one of them was involved elsewhere. This sure teaches me some patience! This has provided an opportunity for her to have some great conversations with the nurses at the hospital. She has been pleased to find several Christian nurses have been looking after her. Continue to lift her up to our gracious Savior. Treefarmer

Prayers sent for you and your wife.
God answers prayers and know that we are sending them your way.

Update on Joy: Praise the Lord, she was released from the hospital this afternoon!!! Cholesterol is the apparent culprit. No heart problems were detected by all the testing. We are thankful for the outcome and appreciate those of you that have been praying for her recovery. Stroke is a fearsome word to hear when the doctor uses it to describe what has happened to your loved one. The right hand is still not 100% but she still writes better than I. (Even had time to go to a pawn shop during one of the long tests and found a few neat knives!) Treefarmer

Amen brother,good news indeed......prayers up

Back in July I asked folks to remember my wife Joy as she had experienced a light stroke and as reported she is doing well. As the follow up appointments and tests have continued to remove the reasons for the stroke it has been determined that she has some sort of heart blockage that needs some attention. She will undergo a heart catheterization tomorrow afternoon. The findings of this procedure can go at least 3 directions, a blockage of less than 70% will be treated with medication, over 70% a stint might be inserted to open the blockage and the worst case would call for open heart surgery. We know our lives are in God's hand but it certainly causes us to desire the prayers of praying people. Please ask the Lord to bless us through this issue as you have before. Thank you. Treefarmer

Phil,
You have my prayers for Joy, she is a delightful person.
One of the high points of my cross country trip was having dinner with you and Joy!
You have my prayers for her speedy recovery!

God bless you both,

My wife's heart cath didn't go as well as we had hoped it would. The doctor said that 2 arteries are 100% blocked and by-pass surgery needs to be done. He said that a vein or artery(?) that normally doesn't allow blood to flow in a certain direction has actually reversed the flow and has probably kept her from having a massive attack. A cardiac nurse told my daughter that this is refered to as a "Jesus by-pass", it happens now and then. Praise God for this! We will be getting the date for the procedure in a few days. Please continue to pray for Joy as she undergoes the surgery. Treefarmer

Continuing with prayers. QS

[Earl]

treefarmer my thoughts and prayers go out to you and Joy. Hang in there,know we are all thinking about you. I put you guys on our prayer list,keep us updated please.

[orvet]

I am praying too Phil.
Give Joy my best.

God bless you both!

[glennbad]

That seems like a mini miracle. I'm so glad she is hanging in there.

You must be so tied up in knots with worry right now. I recall when I was going through my heart issues, I was more concerned with what my wife, son, and family were having to deal with. I was just the fool laying in the bed, but my family were going through all the turmoil.

Just remember you have friends here if you need to vent.

I hope that God's healing hand will guide the doctors' hands for a successful surgery.

Thanks again for your prayers and kind thoughts. Yesterday we firmed up the dates and one of the times for the by-pass procedures. Tuesday at 11:30 she does an out patient vein mapping(?) and pre-op. Then early Wednesday the surgery will be done, we haven't got the exact time, but the nurse told her it might be as early as 5AM. Told her it would be like gettin' up early to be in the woods before 1st light. Please continue to remember Joy to our Lord. Will update as I can. Treefarmer
