Here is the latest that I have on my Uncle Joe via email from his sister and my Aunt Lillie.
This is what happened on Monday.

Surgery on Joe’s heart began about 8:53 a.m. The nurse came out and
said everything was going fine. It is expected that surgery will take
approximately 6 hours. Many of our family members are there. Theresa
and I plan to go this afternoon after she gets off work.

I will update whenever I receive any word. Thank you all for your many
prayers. I know that God is doing his part, so we need to do ours and
continue to keep Joe, the doctors and surgical team, Nina and all our
family members and friends in our prayers. May God continue to bless
you all with love, peace, joy, and good health and healing spiritually,
physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as it was in the
beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Surgery was started at about 8:53 a.m. At 12:10, the doctors were
working on cleaning out the infection and replacing the valve. Joe’s
vital signs are still good. Surgery should probably take another hour
or so. He is in the Heart Institute building. Nina said the doctors
have said that Joe will probably get worse for the next couple of days,
and then after that, he should begin improving.

Praise Report!! Praise God!!

Joe’s surgery was completed about 2:30 p.m. yesterday. His mytral valve
was replaced with a pig’s heart valve. The doctor said that the surgery
was ordinary and went very well.

When I was able to see Joe last night the nurse swabbed his mouth to
clean it, and Joe made a face, opened his eyes, seemed to be gagging,
probably from the swabbing and the anesthesia. I said the Our Father,
Hail Mary and Glory Be to God, and he settled down. Nina came in before
he closed his eyes again.

Nina said he seemed to rest during the night and that he opened his eyes
when the nurses came in to work with him. She said she rested well.

I just talked to Nina and she was visiting with a friend of the
sisters, a Dominican nun who lives at the same convent. She said that
Joe just opens his eyes and moves his hand when he appears to be
hurting. The doctor said that if it was just his heart, he would
probably be able to go home in 2 or 3 days, but since it’s not, they
will be talking about sending him to TIER (?) rehab.

Please let us thank God for the successful surgery and continuing
praying that his brain will clear and that the strokes will not hinder
him for very long and that he will soon have a successful recovery.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you have brother Joe in the palm of
your hand and that your will is being done in his recovery. We thank
you for Your Son Jesus’, the Holy Spirit’s, and your Blessed Mother’s
and all your angels and saints participation in this. We praise you and
honor you and give you thanks for what you have done and are doing for
Joe, our families, our prayer partners, and all of our friends and their
families. Thank you for the peace, love, and joy that you are giving us
during this time.

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as it was in the
beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Jesus we trust in you!
Jesus we trust in you! Jesus we trust in you!

Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for Uncle Joe, Aunt Nina, Vincent, Patrick, Matthew, Stephanie, and Monica and her baby. When I get an update again I will let you all know. Thank you again. Love either Georgia or Gigglin.

for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by
this thought, I implore for you to obtain for me,

The answer to my prayers may require a miracle.
Ever so, you are the Saint of Miracles. O gentle
and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full
of human sympathy,whisper my petitions into
the ears of thy Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved
to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude
of my heart will ever be yours
Amen.

Here is what I got today from my Aunt Lillie via email for my Uncle Joe. Please pray for this. For those who have been praying thank you for that. Uncle Joe could use all the prayers he can get right now.

"I’m sorry I didn’t update yesterday, but there wasn’t a lot to report.
I talked to Nina several times. They had removed most of the tubes from
surgery and Joe was doing well. He opened his eyes for about 15
seconds. So now we need to concentrate our prayers for his continued
healing of the stroke symptoms. Joe was/is to be moved from the surgical
ICU, but I am not sure where they will move him. Nina is to look at
some of the acute care hospitals because that will probably be Joe’s
next residence.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you brought Joe through a successful
heart surgery. We thank you and praise you for all the caregivers, the
doctors, nurses and staff. We continue to ask for Joe’s continued
speedy healing of his head, brain, etc. Lord, we ask that you relieve
the pressure on his brain, and reduce any swelling he may be
experiencing. And Father we ask especially that you will re-grow the
brain cells that were damaged in the strokes. Father, we put Joe into
your hands. Father, you have said that where two or more are gathered
in your name and ask for anything in Jesus mighty name, you will do it
for us. Father, I know that there are many multiples of 2 gathered in
your Holy Name and praying right now. Father we also agree on the
healing for Joe’s brain, in his praying, talking, walking, and in all
the other capacities, and we ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ,
the Anointed One, the Prince of Peace, the Lamb of God, Our Savior.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as it was in the
beginning is now and ever shall be. Amen

Come Holy Spirit!"

Please continue to pray for Uncle Joe, Aunt Nina, Vincent, Patrick, Matthew, Stephanie, Monica, Monica’s baby, Sister Anne Marie, Uncle Florin, My Mom, Uncle Edwin, Uncle Joe, Uncle Paul, Uncle Louis, Aunt Lillie, Aunt Theresa, Aunt Margaret, and all of his neices and nephews. Thank you much for all that you are doing. Love Georgia or Gigglin.

Here is todays update on Uncle Joe from my Aunt Lillie.

Joe has been moved to another room on the same floor of the hospital.
He has had the drains and things from his surgery removed. He has not
awakened, but he did open his eyes when the doctor talked loudly to him.
He has also been moving his left foot and hand. Nina has been told that
they will be moving him to the other hospital today, but they don’t have
all of the insurance papers ready yet. He will be moved to the Select
Specialty Hospital which is in the Life Science Plaza. It is on
Holcombe, but I don’t have the address yet.

Please continue to pray for the healing of his brain and his body.

Thank you Jesus for all you have done and are continuing to do for Joe,
spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,

Thank you for the update Gigglin…continuing to pray

Heavenly Father,
In this time of need, strengthen him. You are our strength and our shield; You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew his strength. Help him not to fear, for You are with him. Help him not to be dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are our God. I know You will strengthen him and help him; that You will uphold him with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover him, let him feel the comfort of Your strength. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.

Lord Jesus, hear our prayers for Joe. Amen

Update from my Aunt Lillie

I talked to Aunt Nina late yesterday afternoon. Sunday, Uncle Joe had a
very good day. He was opening his eyes for about 30 minutes at a time.
A nurse talked to him and asked him to close his eyes and he did. She
then told him to open them and he did. So, it appears that he is
hearing and can understand. He was moving his left leg. Yesterday,
wasn’t as good, but she did see him move his right leg, so that was an
improvement, although he did not move it while the doctors were in
there. The priest came in and anointed him. I had prayed with a prayer
group Saturday evening and was told that in order to seal our prayers
for Joe he needed to be anointed by a Catholic priest.

I haven’t talked to Nina this morning, but Joe was scheduled to be moved
to the Select Specialty Hospital in the Life Science Plaza on Holcombe
some time yesterday evening.

We just need to thank God for the healing that has been done and the
healing that he is going to do. God is so good! He knows what we needs
and we really don’t even have to ask him. I think that we do really
need to give him thanks for bringing Joe through the heart surgery as
well as he did.

I hope to go visit with him some time this week, but I don’t know when
that will be.

Oh by the way Georgia, I really love you too and I am continuing praying
for your healing–spiritually, mentally, physically, and I ask God to
fill you with love, peace and joy. You know Georgia, that God said that
if we ask anything in God’s name, he will answer us. I know you are in
agreement with me and we both ask all of this in Jesus name.

To God be the glory and honor and praise. Amen.
