NEED YOUR PRAYERS

Good Morning,
Yesterday my husband Bill collapsed at home. His heart and breathing
stopped for a short time but started again without CPR. He went to
the hospital by ambulance. I was at work at the time. Two of my
daughters and one son-in-law were there. My son-in-law is an EMT and
was preparing to do CPR when Bill started breathing again on his own.
We don't know yet exactly what happened. Our doctor said he wanted
to rule out the three most serious causes, stroke, heart attack and
blood clots. He suspects it was a TIA (or mini stroke) and if that is
the case it probably won't show up on the tests.
Some of you know that Bill's heart was severely damaged by a virus
three years ago and that it is only working at about 25% capacity so
one of the big concerns is whether or not he suffered any additional
heart damage. I'll let you know what we find out but in the meantime
I would appreciate your prayers.
Alice
