Praying for a modern day miracle...

Ok. Back on March 9, I first mentioned a friend's husband in the hospital with suspected afib. He was sent home a few days later with a lifevest (photo in this post) and told he needed to see cardiologists, have tests, and absolutely get a "defibrillator" implant.

That was almost two months ago. He still has not seen the cardiologist. His family is terrified. He is terrified and sleeping almost constantly. I suspect that is partially depression and partially fear that if he even moves, he will be in trouble.

His wife is worn out dealing with this. The lifevest often malfunctions and neither he nor she has slept through the night this past two months. The machine goes off at unexpected times. Or the narrow bands roll when he turns a little in bed and the sensor goes off. Whatever. They are worn out.

They had one appointment a week or so ago with a heart doctor but that was cancelled the day they were set to go. Now they are told he needs an echocardiogram first, so that is being scheduled but there are insurance issues back and forth.

This sweet couple is in their mid-seventies and worn out. I have no words except to ask for a miracle. They need the test, and they need a rather quick visit with heart doctor afterwards, and rather quick surgery. I don't know how long they can go on like this.

Sweet Lord Jesus, you are our ultimate healer, and you have performed miracles for so many. Please look at this couple, see what they have done for others, see how much they love and trust in you, and help them. You know what they need even better than we do. Jesus, we trust in you!
