Prayers Answered.....Again

Once again, God has shown his love for me. Monday afternoon I had an episode of severe chest discomfort and shortness of breath that lead me to believe I was having a heart attack. I felt I was about to pass out and was breaking out in a cold sweat. I had never had an episode to be that bad. My dad was home with me and I could see in his face how scared he was too. He ended up calling 911 and I was taken to the hospital. Because of my history of heart problems, it was felt that I was overdue for a heart cath. So much was going through my mind....the fact that I had previously had a stroke after my last surgery because of plague breaking loose and going to my brain, that I had been told in the past that I could not go through another heart surgery, a previous doctor telling me that I would end up needing a transplant. I had so much fear, I can't put it into words. The love of my family gave me a peace that I could get through it. They understood my fear and stood by me. I felt so much love from my family....from my Husband, my Daughter, my Dad to my sisters, brother, neices, nephews, even my great neice and nephew. We had a family reunion at the hospital and they were there for me. I can't believe how Blessed I am to have so many people who love me.

Odds were not in my favor with my history for the cath to be good, but, who needs odds when you have Faith. I had so many people praying for me and once again, God answered our prayers. My cath turned out be very good. The previous grafts that had been done were flowing great. The doctor seemed to be surprised at well they were doing. Other vessels were also good and my heart was functioning normal. My heart was good!!!The only way I could get a report like this is through the wondrous work of God. How wonderful is that! It is felt that I was having spasms that were mimicing a heart attack which in turn caused the other symptoms.

I hope that I can someday make my family understand how much it meant to me to have them all with me. It reminded me again of how Blessed I be part of this great family.

I also have to mention what fantastic care I got at the hospital. Everyone from the techs, the nurses, the doctor. They all made me feel at ease and were very understanding of my fears.

Thank you God, for answering my prayers and giving more time to spend with the greatest Blessings you have given me, my life and family.
