Friday afternoon my husband suffered a major rip in the Aortic Artery - the body's main artery which comes from the aorta. I'm numb and in shock, this tear is huge in length, and it's implications are so very scary. He's in cardiac ICU as they try to lower his blood pressure and balance it with oral medication so he can come home. The major major blessing was that while extremely dangerous, his did NOT break through completely which would have meant instant death. It did not block blood to the main organs, and it might heal itself if we can keep his blood pressure low enough. Life is short and we never ever know when this stuff can occur. I never ever dreamed it would be him that would suffer such a major problem. Please pray for his recovery, may the Lords' will be done, pray for me as I'm also the main caretaker for my 91 year old mother... I trust in God and in His care... just wanted to ask you to keep us in your prayers.
