My(Linda)88 year-old father is dealing with congestive heart failure. He has at least three blocked arteries and his cardiologist tells us that the protective lining around the heart, the pericardium, is covered in scar tissue from his triple bypass in 1991. Basically, his heart is enclosed in an iron cage - preventing it from expanding as it beats. This makes any type of activity extremely stressful and he has difficulty breathing. Walking 5-10 feet is enough to cause him to have to stop to catch his breath.
We ask for your prayers as we (Linda, Renae, David and Zee) consult with doctors to determine the best course of action for his care. Please pray that we will have wisdom, compassion and understanding of God's will for my father.
