My brother is 52 years old and went into emergency surgery yesterday for his heart. He has already had all the mechanics put in over 8 years ago to keep his heart beating but they are not working. His heart is only beating 40% of the time. He also has asthma. Yesterday, August 2nd was also the day my father died from this horrible heart disease that he passed on to us.

He was in surgery for four hours and they had to stop as they had done as much possible for the time being. They need to wait until Calie is feeling better to talk to him about another more vigorous and very dangerous procedure that could very possibly take his life. He could very possibly bleed out or die on the operating table.

Please send blessings or positive thoughts for my brother Calie. When I was in the hospital for 6 to 7 weeks with a horrible staff infection, he came to the hospital everyday for me.. Thank you so much my friends for your help... Y'Vonne

Heavely Father, Father God, Abba Father, Daddy. You are the great physican, the great healer. I lift up in prayer today Calie, who is suffering with heat disease. I ask that you Father God would touch and heal Calie, and pour out your rich blessings for a long, healthy, and abundant life with his family and friends.
