I've never posted a vanity before ... heck, I've never really posted anything before, just added to ongoing threads. But here goes anyway ...
I would ask all of my friends .. fellows and ladies .. from FreeRepublic to take some time to say a prayer for my wife. She was scheduled to have open-heart surgery -- an aortic valve replacement, a single-heart bypass, and repair of a congenital hole in her heart -- tomorrow. However, it never rains but it pours.
This afternoon, at about 1500, she had multiple strokes, leaving two bleeding hemorrhages in her brain and, while not putting her in a coma, reducing her to a state of confusion and semi-consciousness.
The doctors at Scott and White in the Critical Care Unit are doing yeoman work, trying to keep all of the balls in the air -- thinning her blood enough to help fight the stroke conditions, but keeping it thick enough in case they have to go in in a hurry to repair her heart or the blood vessels in her head. If anybody can do it, they can.
I'm holding in there as well as can be expected. I've gotten more praying in lately than I have over the past several years. I would please ask all of you to just say a short prayer for a wonderful woman and a great source of contentment and happiness in my life. All of your prayers and good thoughts can't do anything but help.
Hang in there!
You and your lovely wife have got my prayers blue. More will be coming soon.
Hang in there as best you can.
Prayer ping ... and please pass it on to those you know on FreeRepublic ...

Hang in there.

You've got it, friend. Give us a progress report when you can.
My prayers for your wife and you.
May God keep your wife in His hands and help her get through this, and heal her completely.
May He give you faith and strenth.
Prayers going up over here.
Many prayers going up for your wife. It sounds like the docs have everything under control. This same thing happened to my sister. She had the surgery, after the ministrokes, recovered completely and lived for ten more years.
It was the smoking that finally got her. She died of lung cancer.
