Hey guys,
Some of you may know me from the restoration section.
I am coming on here this evening to ask a huge favor of my boating community friends.
My sister in law, Karina, 49 yrs. young, has had a massive heart attack this evening.
I would appreciate as many as possible to pray for her to make a complete and speedy recovery.
She is currently in ICU and is stable but very guarded.
I will post updates as they become available.
I want to thank you all in advance for your thoughts and prayers.
God Bless you all.
Gus

You and her family have our prayers from VT

I myself went through a series of heart attacks almost 7 years ago and I have a tremendous trust in heart doctors.

Be strong.

Re: Needing a little Divine Intervention...

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
Karina's family appreciates them very much and they are a source of strength in this trying time.
The latest word is that she had a stent put in her main artery and an auxiliary pump to assist her heart in relaxing.
She is currently in CCU and is being very closely monitored.
The doctor turned the auxiliary pump down a little this morning and is hoping that with some continuing improvement, he can ween her slowly off of it between today and tomorrow.
Her condition is aggravated by the fact that she does have Diabetes.
Her heart was badly bruised from the attack.
The doctor's prognosis is still very guarded at this time.
Again, thank you all for your well wishes and Blessings from our family to yours.
Gus

Karina and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I had a double-bypass (stent wouldn't do it) at 48, about 1.5 years ago. As mentioned by others, medical science and the people involved, are amazing these days.
