Joe needs prayer!!!

[rgcraig]

Guys I have a friend from JCM that needs us to pray for her husband! I received this email from her and would appreciate you all lifting them up in prayer!

"Hey girl,

I am writing to ask you to pray. My world has been shook up and I am feeling overwhelmed.

Joe had a arteriogram (heart cath) on Friday and the results have me somewhat shook up to say the least. He has had numerous (20) caths in the past and so this was not our first rodeo. I expected his doctor to stent him up and he would feel better. But this time that was not the case. She stopped and came out to talk with us. He has two blockages that can't be stented and therefore she called in a surgeon to see if bypass surgery would be an option. His LAD is 60% and his RCA is 100%. The RCA is back to back stents so they don't know if they will be able to bypass it - not sure if there is any artery left at the end of the stents to bypass. He will not know about that until he gets in there to see. You could have knocked me over with a feather. He has already been through so much and I don't see that we have any other option. We see his cardiologist on Thursday for the final decision.

I wasn't sure how to start a thread on the forum but feel free to do so if you want. I am asking for prayers from all that know how to pray. I know that God is in control and he will be with us but there is still considerable stress involved.

I appreciate you and your friendship - even though I don't tell you or stay in touch as much as we used to. I do value our friendship. Pray for me to be strong and not fall apart. I have done my best to take care of him during all of his illnesses."
