Whether the need is great or small, there is power in prayer, especially when God's people raise their voices together.

Post by swc007 »

My grandfather had a heart attack and is in the hospital. He was supposed to goto rehab today after recovering from bypass surgery...But his heart stopped and the doctors had to resuscitate him. He is back in the ICU and things aren't looking too good at the moment...We had a trip planned to goto the gun show in Houston january 1st because all he talks about was getting a CZ 75 pistol haha... this was going to be his first pistol so he has been excited... he keeps asking me if i like them and if its a good gun haha... so im praying he will pull through so i can suprise him with it!!!! then we can goto the gun range!!! :fire

thank you all for your prayers!!!! his name is Leslie :) A.K.A. Papa

+1 Tell him to hang in there and keep thinking about your trip to the gun show to keep his spirits up! It is amazing what having something like that to look forward to can do to help speed up the recovery process. :thumbs2:

He is in The Healer's hands. There is no better place for him to be. Lord, we trust that you will spare Leslie.

Prayers sent.

Tell him the CZ is exactly what he wants it to be, and it's waiting for him at the show.

thank you all for your prayers... papa has been in surgery all day today because the doctors are putting a "heart pump" in him like what dick cheney has... it was very upsetting to see him hooked up to so many machines... a dialysis machine,heart machine,ventilator etc... he responds to commands when the doctors take him out of sedation to check brain functioning but i haven't been there when it has happened...I went to the high caliber gun show on sunday and looked all over for that CZ pistol lol but couldnt find one so i thought he would like a beretta 92 fs just as well to shoot with at the range.

Also pray for my mom (Dawana) and Grandmother( Nancy/ Mimi) because they have been at the hospital as well for almost a week now living in the waiting room because my papa is so unstable they want to be there in case something happens...Im trying to keep positive and that its in Gods hands...Only God could of brought my Papa back after his heart stopped for 30 minutes

I will update when i get Hopefully GOOD news!!!!
