My boyfriend is doing well...


My boyfriend, John, is doing pretty darn well.  He had surgery two nights ago.  They had to open him up because most of the fluid was behind his heart.  They drained the fluid.  They said the heart itself looked fine.  They were able to identify the virus that caused the fluid build-up.  The doctor said this has been going on for a very long time.  I was telling John just the other day that he seemed to be fatigued the last year.  He hasn't been doing as much as he used to.  He has seemed lethargic.  Now we know why.  Hopefully he will be home in a few days.  I am not sure how they know that the heart won't be affected by the virus again.  Is it gone?  I don't know.  Anyway, I wanted to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and prayers.  They worked.  He was so critical at one point.  He is doing very, very well now.  Thank you so much!!  Hope you are all having a fine weekend!  Hugs!!!  Val =) xox

    Oh Val, I am just thrilled to hear this!  This is great news.  I ca only imagine what a relief it must be for you.  I have had you both in my prayers, but I admit, I have been troubled and a bit scared for him.  I know how much you love him and even though I don't know him, I still care about him, because of you!  

    I believe God really heard all of the prayers being offered for your John!  

    Thanks for posting this!  Love, Merry

    Well, that's good news, for sure. The only thing that we here can do is be sure to say a little prayer, so I'll be sending one your way. Good luck to John.
