Just got in from the hospital. Thank God the 4 by-pass surgery went very well! Joy looked pretty rough when she was brought into cardiac intensive care unit, but in about 6 hours she was managing a smile, good color and told me to go home and rest. After 46 years of marriage, I've learned to do as I'm told! Thank you again for your prayers and expressions of concern. We serve a wonderful Savior who is still the Great Physcian! As the doctor left me after the explaination of what had been done she said "Continue to pray." I like a doctor like that! Treefarmer

That's great news. She'll be out of the game for a month or two, but I'm sure once her strength is back up, she'll be right as rain.

I'll continue with prayers for both of you.

I want to thank those who prayed for Joy's surgery and acknowledge the Lord's hand on all she has gone through. It's amazing to think that last Wednesday morning she had quadruple bypass surgery and she was able to come home Sunday afternoon!
We walked in the yard this morning after coffeee on the porch and I'm learning how much a wife has to do on a daily basis. The little things they we take for granted in the operation of a home are sometimes hard to comprehend, like what color of hanger does a dress shirt go on, or an old work shirt with a stain goes on a gray hanger..... .
But the main thing is God's blessing her with the discovery of the two 100% blocked arteries with out suffering a massive heart attack. Please continue to remember her in your prayers as she gets over this issue.
Thanks again, Treefarmer

This morning Miss Joy asked me if I knew what today is? I knew it wasn't her birthday or our anniversary so I said, "It is October 17th." She then reminded me that today is the anniversary of her quadruple bypass surgery, it's been 4 years. I just want to thank and praise the Lord for His goodness to us! Joy's cardiologist seems pleased, she still has the desire to work in the yard with her plants, garden etc....she and I both still have the aches and pains, sciatica and such, common to old folks but the Lord allows us to function and for this we are grateful!
Four years ago about this time, we were awaiting the surgery outcome, to say the least it was wonderful!
Than you Lord .

God is great, this much I know...

Glad you and the Mrs. are doing well!

God obviously needs an angel here more than He does in heaven. The power of prayer is great, I'm glad for you and your family. Tom

Sorry didn't see this sooneR. Thankful for your wife's full recovery.

We're fortunate to have so many good doctors who are believers and know the power of prayer.

Bless you

This was good to read. You have been a blessing to Jane and I through the past year and a half with your encouraging comments and messages. This was especially good for me to read today as met with her heart Dr. this afternoon hoping for good news about the test she had several weeks ago to see the condition of the leaky valve in her heart. It wasn't the news we had hoped for. It isn't bad enough now for immediate surgery but they want to fix it with open heart surgery before it gets too bad to fix. It probably will happen just after Christmas. She is pretty scared and still is contemplating not going through with it but I think the Dr. convinced her she needs to do this. I'm trusting God that we will be an encouragement to someone else, as you have been to us, several years down the road because of what we will most likely be going through in the next few months. God bless you and Miss Joy.____Dave
