I failed to mention in today’s earlier post that Grant Collier is scheduled to have a MRI today.  Pray for Grant and his parents, Eric & Sanna Collier.

I just spoke with mama’s doctor.  She will be moved to the step down unit today and will also have an echocardiogram.  If all goes well, she will be discharged on Friday.  The damage to her heart was minimal as the doctor said she did not have a “major” heart attack based on their measuring system.  (He also had said that if she had waited another couple of hours before going to the hospital it would have most likely been fatal)  The doctor has changed some of her medications and plans on doing either the balloon or another stent in about a month.

We are blessed and appreciate the prayer support.

Important notice – we are on a regular schedule today with one exception.  There will be no 8:00PM Bible study for our young adults.  Deidra and Daphne will be joining Lisa and me in Huntsville today so there is no one to host that Bible study.

Pray for Carla Kyser as she is scheduled to receive another treatment today.

It is 3:30AM as I write this entry and my mama remains in CCU.  Lisa and I are staying in a hotel very, very close to the hospital.  I am believing that mama will be moved to a room in the step down unit today but that will only happen if she has no more “chest discomfort” which she did have yesterday morning.

Lisa and I are overwhelmed at the support (prayer and otherwise) we have received here and from home.  Please know that we are very, very thankful for every text, voice mail message, e-mail.  I have not attempted to reply to the messages individually but please do not take that as our being ungrateful because we are most definitely grateful.

Dr. Jack Bailey, Joe David  Bailey, Dr. Rex Looney and Spencer Cole all visited with my family yesterday before Lisa and I arrived at the hospital.  Thank you!  The waiting room was filled with folks last night.

I am going to the hospital early today in hopes of meeting with a doctor.  The hospital staff has been excellent especially the nurses in CCU.  We are blessed.

I have simply taken this week as vacation.  I do not know when I will return home but, Lord willing, I will be in the pulpit this Sunday morning and evening.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.  Thanks for praying!
