Prayers for Dad

Joe sent us a text this morning telling us Dad had a heart attack and he’s at Lane Hospital in Zachary, LA and Angel was headed there. The paramedics had to revive him to take him to the hospital. He was gone for 9 mins. They had to revive him again at the hospital, he was gone for 2 mins. They sedated him to keep his heart rate down and he’s been nonresponsive since. They will continue to try and wake him for 48 hours. They said only 1% of patients wake up once they pass the 48 hour period. We are hopeful, we are praying. They did a CT scan and there were no signs of a brain bleed, so that’s good. 

When I spoke with him on Feb 19th, he was basically saying his goodbyes. He knew things weren’t good and he wasn’t sure if he’d make it through the weekend. I’d never heard him talk that way. After speaking with Damian, we thought it might be a good idea for me to go and visit him. He sounded better Thursday and I was still considering taking the trip. I started to overthink it, where do I stay, do I visit everyone in the family (they all live far apart), or do I trust that he’ll be fine? He always pulls through. 

I’ll continue to pray that he pulls through this, but if he doesn’t, at least I have comfort knowing that he was ready for whatever God’s plans were. 

I love you, Daddy.
