Please say a prayer for the Howard family - with updates

Post by Rik »

Vicki Howard, Heywood's wife, had a heart attack Friday evening. She is in the hospital and the next 24 hours are crucial. It came out of the blue and was a huge shock for everyone.

Please keep Vicki, Bill and their two children Andrew and Sarah in your thoughts and prayers. They can use our help right now.

Sunday morning from Bill:

"Update on my wife: She is waking up, able to respond to questions. She can squeeze my hand and move her feet. They are weening her off the sedation meds and slowly bringing her body temp up. It was a very long night. One of the longest in mylife. She has a long and dangerous road ahead, but these early signs are promising. I can't express my gratitude for all theprayers and thoughts. God Bless each one of you.:

I just left the hospital about an hour ago. Vicky is now in a medically induced coma and will be kept there till around 11pm tonight. I don't think they will know the full extent of the damage till after she comes out of the coma. She obviously will be looking at some surgery down the road.
Bill has lots of family around him for support, but there can never be too many prayers offered. We all love Bill and want him to know he is in our thoughts.

Encouraging news from Bill Howard

Post by Norm »

Bill texted me this morning...Vicky is still very groggy, but coming around. Bill seemed very encouraged and wanted me to pass along how much he appreciates the thoughts and prayers from every one here.
He is suppose to call me after he talks to the Doctors this morning...so I will pass along any new news after I hear from him. She is still a long ways from being out of the woods, so continue praying for both of them. It really means a lot to the family.
