I would like to ask you guys to pray for my brother in law. He had a heart attack in 2000. It had to be shocked back 3 times before he made it to the ER. I was at the hospital before he and my sister because I'm only 3 blocks away and my sister called me while she was waiting for the ambulance. After he was there for a little while he code blued again. The nurse came out and told us to start praying because he was in bad shape. That night after he was stabalized he was transported to a bigger hospital where they put a stent in. We knew he would need bipass. They had to wait a month because they wanted his heart to heal some. after he had his bipass he had another heart attack. They said it was because he was allergic to the heperin. They changed his meds and things seemed to be getting better. He went home and a couple of months later had another mild heart attack. They put a defib in and things were fine for a few months. In 2001 they were in Hawaii and he started feeling poorly again so they took him to a hospital in Honolulu. They ran some tests and told him he only had about 38% percent of his heart working. He's been in and out of the hospital. They talked about transplant but for some reason don't think it is necessary right now. Two weeks ago he was in the hospital from CHF. They raised his lasix to 160 mgs a day and added another duretic plus 3 more meds. He was up 22 pills a day. Well he is back in the hospital again. Thurs. his blood pressure bottomed out 60/40 and his heart rate jumped very high. He started to go into convulsions. They admitted him right away. Right now they are trying to get his meds straightened out. He is only 46 years old. I certainly would appreciate any prayers. Thanks alot Peggy
