Extremely Urgent Phred Needs Our Prayers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got a phone call from someone that Phred asked to call me and Phred has had a heart attack and is in the ICU at Forum Health Northside Hospital in Youngstown Ohio.
He has had a heart cath and they repaired the major blockage in his heart - he is stable now but the first 24 hours are the critical hours.

Northside Medical Center
500 Gypsy Lane
Youngstown, Ohio 44501
(330) 884-3312

The person I talked to (Tim) said he had just got back into his room. I am definatly not going to try to call him now but I will try Sunday.

Lift him up in the healing thoughts and prayers.
Thank you.

I posted this is general and under cat general but I figure God can't hear it enough :

Lord, the prayer pups and kat are at a loss for words right now. Their beloved daddy is in the hospital. I would like to offer a prayer for him on their behalf. They need him so much and so do we on Pet Talk.
Please keep angels surrounding him and his doctors and heal him and return him to all who love and need him. Thank you. Amen.

Ps: please forgive the tears.

No Angie -
I am not sure who has the dogs but I am sure that it is Unka Pat and Joan - neighbors who he is close too. I don't know their last name and we don't have their phone numbers.

This is my update:

I called the hospital - and as I suspected in a bigger hospital there are no phones in the ICU patient rooms. I talked to his nurse and I told her that I know I can't talk to him and I know with HIPPA she can't tell me anything but she cofirmed he was ok. AND she promised she would relay the message that that I called and that we are thinking and praying for him. So this is all we have until he is able to get out and call us himself.

keep the prayers coming!


and Jo called earlier then I did and this is what she found out.

I just got off the phone with John's nurse. According to him, he is awake and oriented x 3- which is a great thing. No phone in the room, so, I couldn't get to speak to John. Of course, I started bawling on the phone with the nurse, and he said, "He is going to be fine, honey. If he keeps it up, we are going to have to kick him out of here."

Of course, I took that as a huge sign that God is working his miracle on our friend.

I told him to tell John that I called, and that a whole bunch of people are praying for him.

BTW, that phone number originally posted doesn't appear to be working. So, I would ask that you call the hospital main number at 330-884-1000, and ask for the Medical Intensive Care Unit. Once John gets transferred to a room, I am sure they will give him a telephone.

I "borrowed" this from his 4000 posts thread. Just thought everyone would like to see him and Cinder and Smoke.
