Title: Asking for prayers.
Post by: Speedballer347 on May 01, 2006, 12:55:05 PM

Just got a phone call from my mom a couple seconds ago :-[

My dad went into the hospital this weekend for a mild heart attack, he was in good spirits when I saw him last night. They just ran the scope to his heart and looked bad. They are prepping him for bypass surgery right now. He already has a pacemaker and is a horrible throat cancer survivor.

I don't know if this means anything, but my dad is a good guy. Was born dirt poor, put himself through college with a full football scholarship. He joined the Marines out of college as an officer and was a platoon leader. After that worked as an exceutive for Purina for some years. And then finally wrapped it up as a college professor with a PHD.
I am proud of what he did with his life!
He is a good man! Please say a prayer for my dad today. Thank you.
Eric

Carter, Diana and I will both pray for your Dad! Glad to read the attack wasn't as bad as they can be. Hopefully the docs will get him feeling like a 40 year old again! :)

Just saw my day, he is finally awake enuff to talk.
They did 5 bypasses on him :-\ but they said surgery went as planned....so he seems to have made it through.

I printed and showed him all you guys support and kind words and it made him smile and he said to pass along his "thanks!" to you all.

I thank you guys too! :)

SWEET!!! I'm so glad to read this Speedballer!

I know it took my Dad a long time to get over his triple bypass. He also became very depressed. Just tell your Father to not over do it.

He's one Tough SOB, never complained, never skipped a beat.

He was supposed to come home today, but last night they had more probs with his heart. They also found cancer (again) in his Lymphs.
