Dear Prayer Warriors, I am in need of prayers for George. On August 15th I took George to the E.R, with a possible heart attack. They found blood clots in both lungs and said he had pneumonia.After three days in the hospital, they sent him home on blood thinners and a cardiologist appointment On September 18th he went in for a procedure that landed him back in the hospital. He is awaiting a triple bypass. Two arteries are 90% closed, one artery is 80% closed. George has water in the lungs, and they are doing everything possible to work with that problem. Being on blood thinners and being diabetic is problematic also. They have put him on a medication so his kidneys don't fail ( diabetic medication and the dye they use for the heart surgery are not compatible). They did a procedure today, September 21st , that put a filter between the heart and the lungs to catch any blood clots that might dislodge during the bypass surgery. They have to take him off the blood thinners before surgery. The cardiologist told us they are doing a "fine tune up" before they do the "major tune up". They are doing everything possible to make this a safe and successful surgery. Please put George on your prayer list and on any other prayer lines that you may be aware of. We do not have a date for surgery as that depends on the water in the lungs.

All Glory to God,

Esther
