Do any of you have prayer requests??

[Medusa]

I am here asking for prayers for my aunt (through marriage) and her children.

My Uncle passed away last Saturday at 53 years old.

this was TOTALLY unexpected. He just had a physical two weeks before and everything checked out great. He just came back from his daily bike ride and went upstairs to get changed. he had been up there a while so Aunt Chris asked Kolton (the youngest of the children) to go upstairs and ask him if he could drive the oldest child Katelyn to work. When he went up My uncle was laying in an odd position and was unresponsive so Kolton got his mom. My uncle had had a heart attack and died instantly.

he was only 53 years old and has 4 children ages 12-20. they had all the memorial services and burial this week. Now they have to go back to their lives and try to live a normal exsistence without their father/husband.

They had an autopsy done to try to figure out what caused the heart attack. turns out he had an enlarged heart and this is a common thing with people who are at one time overweight and then lose weight and get back down to a healthy weight. He was overweight for quite a few years and then decided that since he had 4 children he really needed to start taking better care of himself. but apparently when you lose weight it takes time for your heart to go back to normal size since it doesn't need to provide the extra power any longer. This is not something they normally test for so it went by unnoticed in his physical.

This is such a shock to all of us.

so if you could spare some prayers for all of us... ESPECIALLY his wife and 4 children that would be greatly appreciated. it's going to be very hard for them to move on from this.

How tragic! Sometimes death is a relief when a person suffers for a long time but this was unexpected and left everyone in shock and grief, I'm sure. Prayers of love and compassion are on their way......

OH no - too sudden, young and awful. You and your cousins are in my prayers.

I didn't know that about an enlarged heart - I guess that is why they say to check with your doc before starting a fitness regime, but heck, I wonder if the docs would even know to mention this?


{{{{hugs}}}} to you and the family.

Thanks for asking about grandpa.

Papa is doing as best as expected - he was diagnosed with leukemia at the beginning of this month. They currently have him in another nursing home. He likes it better there as it's a lot easier for him and a lot less stressful for my grandmother. I'm not sure if they've started treatments or what not for the leukemia.

I feel bad about it, but I try not to ask for updates about him too often. I really worry about losing him. I cry about him all the time. The less I know, the less I worry, I guess. I hope that doesn't sound too bad.

I can understand your position; but you need to appreciate HIS point of view ...

How would YOU like to be 'locked up' with a bunch of 'strangers' taking care of you
every day, and never knowing WHEN a familiar Family Face will show up?

It may be mentally challenging for you, but if you really the GrandFolks - you'll
make it a habit to Visit Often - with a big on your face.

You CAN do it ... and the GrandFolks will know you cared - even if the can't SAY so.

And drag a few DAWGs along for show & tell!

Prayers to all who are asking.

Kfamr, prayers to both of your grandparents.

Thank you guys for the prayers for my family. I also did not know about the enlarged heart thing but that is definitely something I am going to take more seriously in the future when starting an exercise routine etc.
