Father God, I lift up my brother Rodney to you who we know as the great physician. He has severe heart damage and is trusting in you for his recovery and return to better health. Your love for your children is greater than we can imagine and we know your will to be perfect. Please give wisdom to all the medical people attending to him and give peace to our brother and his family as he goes thru this. We love you Lord and thank you so much for loving us. I pray in Christ name, amen.
 
Thanks everybody and yes churly they told me the stents only last 7 to 8 years then collapse .I had one put in in sept of 2007 .Then in Jan 2015 it did .I wish there was a way they could of went ahead and did they bypass .I know it is a lot rougher surgery and recovery time is a lot longer but beats not knowing if the stents are collapse or move .I have always heard stents are like band aid they work for awhile then do more damge than good.
 
Wow. They never told me a time frame they would last. But that doesn't matter. Just focus on getting better and take good care!
 
Must be making them in Mexico now. I got one in 1996, and its still ticking. Last time I was the heart doc...he reminded me how long I have had it. I told him....don't get any ideas.....its working fine. Prayers my friend.
 
Been through by-pass,the medical field learns new procedures each and everyday,trust God and put all ones problems in his hands.Prayers sent my friend.
 
Thank you all so much the Dr sent me to have an ultrasound on leg yesterday there is a small clot where they out the cath in .He said it should dissolve with the meds im taking but it is also infected now which is causing the knot and pain so im having to go back every other day and let them look at it .It is getting bigger and the antibiotics I have been on not working so I guess we will see what happens when I go in the morning .So please continue to send prayers up I really appreciate it.
 
Thanks for the prayers .Sorry I havnt gave you a update the dr sent me for a ct scan last Monday on my leg for the knot that came up .Well for some reason which i think the radiologist said what he wag nted to said it was nothing just swollen tissue was all it was .Well then my dr said it was almost impossible for it to get any bigger so i didn't do or say anything just continued antibiotics in hope they would work .I had a apt with him Friday and when he seen the knot it was as big as a softball and hot as fire and couldn't touch it it hurt so bad i couldn't wear pants for them rubbing it .Well he just kinda gave me the feeling he though i was making it sound worse than what it was .But when he seen and felt it his eyes got as big as a Frisbee he kept telling how sorry he was so back in the hospital i went .They ran antibiotics through an iv but it didn't help so they called in a surgeon he took one look at me and rushed me into emergency surgery now i got a hole a incj and a ha lf deep in my groin where the infection caused it .I got out of the hospital today but have packing inside me that i have to change every day .I have to get in the shower get the tag of it wet then as i pull it out wet it in case any blood has dried and stuck to my insides then my wife has to pack and dress it for me .So it is going to take another 3 weeks to a month before i recover from it .I think you for your prayers and please continue to say one for me when you do pray cause i have another long road that i really should not have ahead of me .The cardiologist said he had done over 4 thousand heart caths and this has never happened before in all his years of practice .I guess i am the lucky one for it to happen to.
