prayers

Danny in the past years has had at different times:
1. 1985 double by-pass at age 41
2. 1989 two angioplasties
3. 1991 one angioplasty
4. 1998 a stint
5. Danny is going into the Capital Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, FL.
at 7:00 tomorrow morning for another heart catheterization. They want to go in again for at least another double, if they find they are able to take the chance. If not ?? God only knows. He also went every day for two months for this treatment check http://www.naturalbypass.com/ which didn't do any good that is why they are checking him now again.

Gloria, Our thoughts and prayers with you both. Hope it turns out with good results. Nell

Gloria, my thoughts will be with you and your hubby, and prayers, You know this sounds like both my sisters, they also have went thru the bypass, angioplasties and stints. But older than age 41 for sure when theirs started. Its a good thing they can find out all this stuff, and keep on top of it, my brother now is in his 70's, has a aneurysm Near the heart, the Dr.'s are watching, they keep track of the size etc. The last time one of my sisters went in, they debated open heart surgery again, but did the stint instead, she's in her 70's now. She is ok. I think the main thing is finding all this stuff out. so HOPEFULLY his Dr.'s will make the best decision. Jane Boucher.

Gloria, Many prayers are sent your way. Give Danny my best wishes and prayers. I know that God will be with him all the way. Cuz Carlisle, How are we related? I feel so close to you that you seem like Family--therefore "Cuz." Carlisle

Gloria, I will keep you both in my prayers, thanks for yours for my Brother. May God Bless you, Eva

Gloria, I will certainly pray for your husband and you. How much can one go through? God knows best so we must leave it up to him. Blessings, Mary

Hi, My hubby also has cardiac problems. First bypass was 1986 and the SECOND bypass surgery was 1994; it went just fine. The bypass incision healed rapidly; only problem was the leg incision as that took quite awhile to heal...they'd had problems finding a suitable vein in his leg to use so he had an extremely long incision... they cut his leg from ankle to groin area. The upper part of the incision went through the lymph glands in the groin area which caused extremely heavy lymph fluid drainage, I had to resort to using sanitary napkins for his bandages, but they worked just fine. A little ingenuity (and some embarrassment on my husband's part!). It's now something to chuckle about. Don't worry about this happening to your hubby, though, as this type of incision is very rare; it's just that my husband has a vein problem, even with blood draws. Both of Paul's bypasses went just great, and I'm sure the same will be true of your husband. My best wishes and prayers to you and your hubby during this difficult time. Pat Pulasky

Hi Gloria, Did I miss something these past few days have not been real good ones for me, so I think I must have missed the message about Danny. Please know that I sent up a prayer rocket for him the minute that I saw your message, and I pray that he will be doing so much better in a few days. Please forgive me. We will be keeping him and you in our prayers. Please keep in touch. So much has been going on in our family. Kathy is doing so well, Praise the Lord. So far my test have gone well. I will try and watch the messages more closely. Much Love and Many Prayers, Florence and Chuck

Will certainly wish your husband the best. My goodness, he's pretty young to be going thru so many surgeries. Wish you strength too. Shirley Toohey

Gloria, We will keep you and your husband in our thoughts. George and Nancy Rupp

THANK YOU ALL! for the Prayers. I just came back home to take of his Boy's (Poodle's) and get a bite to eat. They said the same thing that we ALREADY KNEW BUT NOW Danny has to make the decision for the surgery, will know more after he talks to the other Dr. about having the surgery. Love Ya!! Gloria

Hi Gloria and Danny, More prayers going up from here on the West Coast. May God remain near to both of you during these difficult decisions. May He also provide the extra measure of strength that you will need to see you through. May God Bless you both is my prayer. Keep the Faith and stay safe. Much Love, Florence and Chuck

Danny just called to come on up and get him, he has to be off ALL DRUGS for 5 days
before they do the surgery. IT WILL BE A "TRIPLE" by-pass as it looks now. Gloria

Hi Gloria and Danny, You will both be in our Daily Prayers. God Bless and stay strong. Much Love, Florence and Chuck

Gloria, here's hoping all goes well for you both, you will be in my prayers and thoughts. Katy

Gloria, I am thinking of you both. My husband had the same operation in 1972 and another in 1991--so we had many good years between the two. The second seemed to take forever--but they had to remove the wires etc. from the first--to get into his chest. I'm sure new knowledge in the field is even better today. He was 65 for the 2nd. and though never quite so active again--golf etc. he lived until 71 yrs--and we were able to take trips to family, eat out, movies etc. so he was much older than Danny. We cherished every day--but it took a toll on me, I must admit. Love to you both, Alice

Gloria we will be keeping all of you in our prayers. God Bless, Cousin Patricia

THANKS EVERYONE!! for your Love/Prayers and your own personal stories our Prayers to you ALL also. Danny is resting now, it's been a long day. Gloria

Gloria - you all are in my prayers. I pray health, speedy recovery for Danny, rest for you and strength. God bless. Joyce Chambers

Gloria, My prayers will continue to pour forward for you and Danny. With his history, I am not feeling joyful about his undergoing surgery again, but KNOW that his hands are in GOD'S and HIS WILL will be done. Remember, through GOD all things are possible and it is my hope and prayer that all will turn out well. We must all put our faith in His hands and prepare ourselves to receive God's Mercy and Blessings. Love to Both of you, Cuz Carlisle P.S. I am doing well except a fall in therapy today--nothing but pride hurt--and my next surgery on April 8 for left carpal tunnel syndrome--right was done on Feb 23 and is doing great. Cuz Carlisle

Honey could you please send this to all the cousins, friends, brothers and sister in Christ on the web at HCPD...

"As much as I am amazed at how much Gloria is able to dig up about hers/mines/our families, it amazing me more about the family of God that we all have. As I was reading over the emails that each of you sent it occurred to me how valuable these thoughts and prayers are! Thanks to all of you and God Bless You everyone.

Even though we all have to walk through trials and tribulations it is such a comfort to know that each of you care enough to take the time to send prayers/thoughts/whishes and I want to thank you all for that.

I am so proud of what Gloria has done with researching the families and I am so happy that one day I will see friends, loved ones, and yes, even strangers that I have not even met yet. Only our Lord Jesus Christ knows what lies in store for us. But won't it be glorious?

I know through God's assurance that in the coming days, weeks, months God will provide all the Grace that Gloria and I need to get through this, but I beg you to please continue to hold us up in prayer and we will do the same....

God Bless all my cousins, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, may God richly Bless you everyone...

Love in Jesus Christ, My eternal hope and salvation,
Danny

We'll keep you both in our prayers. Amen. . . "Not my will, but Thine. . ." What strength we glean from our Lord's prayer. Joy

Good Morning,

       I wanted to let you know I JUST opened your mail and immediately said prayers for those in your letter. I prayed for their families as well as them. I also prayed for God to guide ALL those whom would be working on them this day. Do keep me posted on your brother in law ok? May God Bless and Keep them today and the days ahead... I am proud your brother in law is ready to go should today be his day... We never know what God has planned for us, but proud for him and his family he is ready to go home and meet God. I prayed for you as well, that your body would begin to heal and your hands/writs/arms would begin to show signs of improvement. Do take good care of yourself my dearest one. I do worry about you! I know your doing a lot more now your watching the children for such long periods of time... Do be careful and let them do as much as they possibly can do so to relieve some of the pressure on your hands ok?

       I am doing ok. I don't see my dr. again until April 19th so have sometime yet. He wanted to see me back in 3 weeks but it is spring break for us here then so got pushed up to 4. I am doing as much research on the meds he wants me to take and doing my best to have a positive attitude about it. I have asked others in my lupus groups if any of them are on these drugs will wait and see what they say. Hoping someone is and will have some informative info. for me will see... I have asked God to guide me in this new adventure in "our" lives. I know R is really worried although he has this I am "HE MAN" attitude I can handle anything! Ha! He isn't fooling me any! He tries to be really strong for me and not show how much he is really scared just like myself! This is ok, as long as he comes to terms with it and we do it together as we have faced all the other obstacles with my health thus far!!!

       Well, I was in hopes of meeting a friend online early this am but doesn't look like she and I have the right time zones or something here.. IF she don't come soon I am going back to bed, this is way too early for me! LOL   I know your still with the babies as I type. I do hope you get some much needed rest today. Have a good one. Love Ya Me; Ray & Roxanne McCreary

Precious Lord in Heaven, healer of all pain, I pray for this gentleman and pray that the operation he is to have will be a success and he will be as good as new again. I pray that you give the doctors a guiding hand and direct them in their job they have to do for Dan, we ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen. With love and many prayers and I have put you on our prayer list. Shirl

Danny I've also prayed for you, God bless your soul and see your through this surgery.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and please keep them coming. Saturday early morning when James was in surgery a prayer group in Virginia prayed that God would send someone to comfort us. Sat morning at 3am a young couple here in Atlanta felt God's call and got dressed and came to the very waiting room in which we were in not knowing what or why just that they needed to be there. And then we met. God is awesome!! James is definitely a testimony when today he has not IVs or tubes or anything. Sits up smiling and waving while riding in his hospital wagon. We are not out of the woods yet as the devil it trying to creep in at every avenue. Pray that the lord defeat this enemy as God has a plan for James. Pray that he receives the best care as we move this little baby to a new hospital. The glory of God shall prevail, Mellisa

Hello all, When it rains it pours. We just lost my father in law after a short illness and now there is a new crisis to deal with. Here it is: I wish to ask you to please send juice out for my daughter Wendy. She just discovered that she is pregnant but because of female problems she has had; her doc wanted an ultrasound done today. There seems to be some sort of problem. They are unsure of what is going on and where the tiny embryo may be. I am not well versed in anatomy so this is all very confusing to me. She has to go to the hospital on Saturday morning for a new blood test that will God willing show a higher protein count than she had 2 days ago. If it is not elevated we fear the worst. Please say a prayer for her tonight. She would love to be a mother again, this will be her second and possibly last baby, due to female problems. Thank you to all. hugs Carol

Let it be known, that Danny and Gloria, and all of their family, the doctors and nurses and the caregivers that will be a part of his surgery and recovery, as well as you, my friend, will continue to be in my prayers. May God bless and place His protection on all of us. Much Love Jack

Good luck to you and yours, my thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way. Rita

God Bless to all! You are in my prayers. Joyce Chambers

Gloria, Juice to you and Danny. I hope his bypass goes smoothly. Medical Science is pretty incredible anymore, but ultimately it is still up to God. So may God bless you and Danny and the surgeons.. Thank you for your prayers.. hugs Carol

Dear Gloria, I will keep him in my prayers, let me know how he does. Love Sonia & Efrain

Tell Danny that I wish him the best. I have had quite a few acquaintances who have gone through what he will be going through and they have recovered and are doing well. Of course they have to change their life style afterward, which is the hard part. I know what that is, I am a diabetic now and sometimes I do what is right, and recently, most of the time I revert to my old bad habits. Darrell

Tell Danny that my thoughts and prayers are with you both and that I have faith that the surgery will go well, and that he'll feel much better afterwards. Love, Me

Hi Gloria, Just wanted to check and see how Danny was doing? I have him in my thoughts and prayers for a quick and successful speedy recovery. I loved the prayer he sent to me it was very comforting to me. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. hugs Carol

Hi to all my Friends and Loved Ones who have sent Prayers and Good Thoughts,

Gloria and I got to the hospital about 15 minuets before the appointment time and as per usual we had to wait about 1.5 hours to see my surgeon. Gloria has been my perfect Angel through all this. Turns out that the Dr had been in surgery and was detained, also he looked to be pretty tired after it all.

Dr Jawde explained that after looking at the x-rays and cauterization films that he felt it was too risky to do the planned open-heart surgery, where the breastbone is opened up. Turns out that when I had the open heart surgery in 1985 the left the mammary graft is floating free and it is lying near my breastbone. Dr Jawde felt that there was a danger of cutting into it, so he recommended a less risky procedure.

The operation he suggested is to make an incision from the belly-button to the bottom of the breastbone and then he will graft a stomach artery to the right heart wall. This will hopefully provide blood flow to the heart. The idea is that if this gives me enough relief than I will not have to have anymore surgery. If I have to have more by-pass he will do it under the left arm to do minimally evasive surgery, and by-passes to the left heart.

I am constantly amazed at what the Doctors and Technology allow them to do and Thank God for that. They perform miracles in their own way....

I apologize for being so long winded but I wanted to let everyone concerned know exactly what was going on....

Please continue to pray and thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. I am convinced that again this is an example of how God works in our lives, we may make plans but God can rearrange them!

I will keep you posted when the surgery is to be!!

God Bless You All and Thanks Again for being there for me and Gloria!!!

Love and Prayers, God Bless You, Danny and Gloria

Good Morning Gloria, Hope all is going well with Danny. Keeping you both in my prayers. I am sure these are difficult days for you as well, because it is so hard to have those that we love be in pain, and we feel so helpless. I know that feeling so well. Take care and stay strong. May God Bless you and your family, and may God direct every step of the surgery for Danny and have him home real soon. Much Love, Florence

Well! it look as if they got their duck's in a row now if nothing else comes up.

Danny checks in at about 10:00 AM tomorrow (Wednesday) and surgery will be at 7:15 AM Thursday. http://www.capitalregionalmedicalcenter.com/ The Heart Center, Capital Regional Medical Center

Honey, could you make me some more cards like you did the other day and put this on them, I was thing maybe something with a pencil on it and something religious!!!

Love You,
Praise The Lord
When you make plans, do them in pencil, then give God the eraser!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Good Morning Gloria and Danny, Just read your update and once again I am praying that God will provide the wisdom needed to see us through this one. The field of medicine is an Awesome Challenge and new everyday. My older sister is a retired RN and she loves the field of medicine. Me on the other hand, I have a difficult time at the site of blood. I am always writing to ask Wilda for medical advise, as she stays up to date, some what with her medical journals. Thanks for the update. Keep the faith and we will continue to pray for the perfect direction form God. Much Love, Florence

Gloria & Danny, Our prayers are with you as you go into surgery tomorrow. Every time I have gone to surgery I repeat Proverbs: 3:5-6 and the Lord has been so good to me and saw fit to see me through it. My husband Bob needs your prayers also. He is on a walker now and I cannot leave him alone at all anymore. I finally get to my messages on the computer, but not like I use to. Gloria my prayers are with you also because it is as hard on the family that waits for the results as the one going through it. Love & Prayers, Ruby

Glory and Danny, My thoughts and prayer will be with you both in the Morning. My god keep you safe Danny, And may God give to you Gloria the strength to hold on.
God Bless each of you. Love Eva

Gloria and Danny, I haven't known you long, but I feel I do, your have always been so sweet to me, and I have always enjoyed our Bush quest. Let me tell you I will be thinking of you both, and I hope only the best. This has been a terrible year for me, and I know through the Grace of God he has helped me through it, when my only son died, the first thing I prayed for was strength to get me through it for my daughters, and by golly it happened!! So I truly believe that our Lord knows what is best for us, and he put a calmness in my heart so that I made it through that time, and he is working everyday to keep me in line!! I hope and pray Danny gets through this surgery just fine, but it sounds like he is a strong man in his faith, and that in it's self is what the good Lord wants us to be. God bless you both, and Gloria, don't be afraid, believe me when I say what will be will be. Love you even if I have never met you, your distant sort of removed cousin-Katy

Thanks and I did finally get in your website. How beautiful. I am very envious--it is so wonderful, has so much I enjoyed browsing. It's amazing what you can do when you have the power to manage your computer. It seems such a job for me, but I am learning a little at a time. I think of you daily. My husband had his first attack at 42. Alice PS> Gorgeous picture---now I can see you in my mind. Thanks Gloria You can't appreciate how many times you have been a help to me. Love and prayers and juice and "Live in the moment today"--All is well--so far and God is present right there, right now-and all things are in his hands. May all go well for you both. LOL Alice

WOW, that's great. Keeping you both in my prayers today and always. God Bless!

Danny and Gloria, Our prayers and thoughts are with you. I in Jul had an angina attack and in December , the week before Christmas I had a heart attack. We had
taken the family up to Bryson City N C for a long weekend, we wanted the grand's to see snow, at 4 am I woke up feeling funny , at 9:30 I went into Bryson City hospital after being stabilized transported 75 miles away to Ashville Mission St Josephs hospital where on Sunday I had congested heart failure and on Monday a Stint was put in, needless to say Christmas in the hospital. Now I can say I am a true Barbour Cy George Volga in fact My dad was. So Bob and I are praying for you. The Lord does things in his way, which seems strange to us at times. Mission St Joe is one of the top 50 cardio hospital in the nation. If I had stayed here in Columbia and gone to Providence I would not had the care. My doctor goofed up on the angina attack and caused this heart attack. He only did a half a cauterization which should have never been done. Anyhow enough about me. Sorry We will pray Janet George Baierl
