Colleen Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm sorry! I just posted about how hard it is to see my dad's health deteriorating. I am only a few hours drive away from him, but just lately I wish I were closer and could stop by often. I can imagine how difficult this is for you to experience at such a distance. Peace be with you, friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Here's what I know so far... Dad is resting well, but, he had a major heart attack. They gave him 4 morphine shots and the pain didn't stop. He had a clot in one of his major arteries, I'm not sure which one, and that was what caused the heart attack. They did an MRI and will have all the results tomorrow morning, the initial results are good. God is so good! I talked to a few of my friends down here when it happened and they all started praying. A few hours later, my pastor's wife came over and said that if I need to go home, someone is ready to pay for a plane ticket for me whenever I need it. What a blessing! It makes me cry just to know that people care so much. I don't even know who this person is. It's just so amazing to me. I'm waiting until tomorrow to find out the results of the MRI. I don't want to just go home with all that that will entail for my family, not to mention the expense for this unknown person, until I know there is a definite reason for me to go. I can so feel your prayers. I have such peace. It's really unbelieveable to me! I know that God is in control, and that's the best feeling in the world right now. Thank you all so much!

The same thing happened to me when my father collapsed....I had several people here who would just pray and let me bawl my head off on the phone with them. It was sooooo good to be supported. And I finally got to see him a few weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in Orlando Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks for the update, Dayle. You and your family have been on my mind in my prayers all day. It's wonderful someone has offered you a ticket home. Take it if you feel the need to go and be with your dad. I'm sure they would not have offered if they didn't intend for you to use their gift.

sadiegirl Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Prayers here for you and your family. We had a similar situation with my father-in-law when he had a heart attack. Our family didn't even notify us until they knew how bad his situation was so we were completely out of the loop. The second time around when he had a problem, I was on the phone with my sister-in-law when her husband came to get his truck to take him to the hospital!!! Distance truly makes these situations so difficult. God bless you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayle in Guatemala Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I just talked to my family and he's doing well today. He's able to sit up on his own and he's eating some breakfast. They haven't seen the doctor yet to hear the results of the MRI, but, he hasn't had any chest pain since late yesterday, so that's a good thing, too. The nurse was telling them that it looks like he will be moved out of ICU to a regular room this afternoon and if all goes well, he could be home tomorrow night. Thanks so much for all your prayers and concern. It just means so much to me! Blessings to you all today!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
