Prayers Needed

I'd like to address two things right here. For those who have gone to my website and wondered why it has not been updated, the reason is my webmaster,Mike Cohoon, has had serious heart related health issues  and has been unable to work on it. Everything is at a standstill there right now and with all the sites he  does because his health has to come first.He's a good and talented man and needs prayers to get him through this .Because of that the second item is to request that everyone says a prayer for him.Mike  spent a lifetime in the service of this country till he recently retired from covert actions and began his own computer businesses .Since then he has suddenly had a massive heart attack during last winter and because  he was not covered as politicians and military are  with insurance he received poor care in TN thanks to the TNcare  cutbacks. He moved to KY where he now receives better care but his heart has been damaged by the low quality of care received in Clarksville for congestive heart failure.Mike has several blocked arteries but cannot have bypass surgery or stints put in because somehow the front of his heart tissue has worn paper thin.He was told by the new doctor who is stumped at how to help him that he was when he finally got assigned to this doctor 4-8 weeks away from another massive heart attack and possible death.

Among other things,Mike has had to sleep practically standing as he has filled with so much fluid that it chokes him if he lays down.  The hospital in TN never addressed  the normal fluid productions problems associated with congestive heart failure and did not put him on any regimen of fluid shots or pills. He really needs lots of prayers and is an unsung hero of this country- an American  version of James Bond to be exact. He has saved many and sacrificed a lot to keep us free.

His new doctor is looking into the possibility of a pacemaker but  that is up in the air right now.Please say a prayer for him .He's a good man and needs all the prayers we can focus on him.Thank you.Meanwhile I  will put the articles that were to go on the website here and on my other blogs so I have not forsaken anyone.
