Many thanks to all who are praying.

Update - still waiting on the cardiologist to get with the surgeon for scheduling but Joe is tentatively scheduled for coronary artery bypass (triple) on Monday, November 26. They feel he will be fine to wait until after Thanksgiving. Of course he has been instructed to take it easy and any change in symptom's to head to the ER. We have utmost confidence in his physicians and believe God will guide and direct them and for a speedy recovery and better quality of life for Joe.

Your prayers are still needed and appreciated. It is a scary time for me but I know God is in control and He will see us through.

Thanks again.

Red, I can only imagine how scary it is for a spouse to prepare for triple bypass surgery! My prayers are with you for the next week as you go through the Thanksgiving season. I'm sure you have a lot of things to be thankful for, with Joe being a major one.

Keep us updated on Joe's progress!

Just now seeing this request for Joe:

Lord God,

We humbly pray that Your Mighty Hand of Protection would be upon

Joe as he faces this delicate surgery! Lord God, if You would just place

Your Hands upon the hands of the surgeon and guide his hands. If You

will give the wisdom (directions) to the surgeon and to every physican

and nurse who touch Joe, everything will be all right!!

Thank You for what You will do for Joe and his sweet wife, in Jesus Name!!!

It is now official the surgery is scheduled for Monday, Nov 26. We are to be at the hospital at 5:15am that morning.

We are still in much need of prayer. There are days the burden seems unbearable. However, we know that God is with us and we feel the strength of all who are praying.

We appreciate you all so much. We do have so much to be thankful for - especially this forum family and those that know how to pray.

Hope you all have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

All will be fine!

Know we are here for you!

Just a hurried note to let you all know that Joe made it through surgery and is slowly recovering. In addition to double bypass he had an aneurysm on the back of his heart that needed repair. So needless to say him having this surgery saved his life - he was a walking time bomb - now he is a walking miracle! We so appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and ask that you continue to remember us. It has been a rocky road this week with a few set backs but we are on the road to recovery now. His lungs has some scarring from previous smoking so that has complicated his progress and there were times I wasn't sure he would pull through but today they moved him to the cardiac stepdown unit.

Again, I will try to post more later just ran home to check on a few things as I have not been home or near a computer all week.

Thanks again and please remember us in your prayers daily.

Joe got to come home yesterday and is improving daily. He is very sore and slow going but we are thankful for his progress. God is an awesome God and to God be the glory for directing the physicians and them finding the aneurysm and getting it repaired.

Many thanks to all who called our names in prayer. It means so much to know people are praying when you are in a desperate situation. There were a few times I wished I had access to a computer at the hospital so I could plead for instant prayers! However, I did find comfort in knowing it was posted here and you guys are praying.

God bless you all.
