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.

Staci,

Thanks for letting us know about Phred. I couldn't believe it. Do you know who is taking care of his pets??

[Soapets]

Major prayers on their way from Nebraska! PLEASE keep us updated!

Oh no! I will send him a card, as I'm sure the PTers closest to him would want to talk to him!

Sending lots of prayers too.

[Laura's Babies]

Well, we all know what a wonderful person he is so I am sure he will have PT prayers going double time for him. He will be in my prayers for sure and will stay there! He is such a "go getter", going above and beyond what anyone else does to keep us as informed as he possiably can on every siutation. I think this calls for a PT Cyber Get Well card but unitl I get time to make it

GET WELL SOON PHRED! WE NEED YOU HERE AND YOU ARE MISSED!!! Laura and Babies

[catmandu]

We are all praying for Phred,and hope that he is all right.
And that he will be home soon with his Family and Companions.
We ask you,God to let Phred be all right,and allow that Gentleman to heal.

I posted this on 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.

[K & L]

Best wishes to Phred for a full and healthy recovery.

Thank you Staci for the news about Phred. Sooo appreciated!! Yes, Phred goes far above and beyond for us - he was wonderful when we were waiting for Boomer to fly from Japan


Please get well and whole again very soon Phred!! We are praying here to the south and west of you.

Gini just phoned me with the news (my home computer still isn't working, i'm on my grandsons). A candle is lit in my window and I'm in tears. Oh Phred... please heal yourself as you have helped to heal others.

[Prairie Purrs]

There's a candle lit in Denver, too. Get well soon, Phred!

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.

Here's a picture of Phred and Cinder and Smoke! Just thought the ones who have never seen this would like to see it.
