Jodi’s Story

On Sunday, July 15th at 7:54 my beautiful sister Jodi suffered a Spontaneous Cardio Artery Dissection. (SCAD). I brought her to St. John’s hospital and she was transferred to St. Joes where they performed a procedure to put in three stints. We were told all was good and she would be home Tuesday. During the night, she suffered a couple of blood clots and was transferred to The University of MN Medical Center for Level 1 Critical Care. Many ups and downs but we’reholding on to the ups , the positives. Those positives are: she is young and strong with no serious underlying medical issues, she has no risk factors for heart disease, she is opening her eyes and following commands so they are sure there is no brain damage. Most importantly, she has a strong faith in God. He is going to give us a miracle of a full recovery. We have had such a wonderful outpouring of love and support. THANK YOU! I will keep you updated as often as I can. Please post encouraging words and please, please, take a moment right now and say a prayer....

Happy Birthday Jodi! This is a very special day indeed. The first birthday post SCAD, Post FMD. The first birthday post two cardiac arrests and a stroke. A day that many didn’t think she’d have. But God had other plans. Jodi, my wish for you is that you appreciate this day as the day The Lord has made, and rejoice and be glad in it! That you have many, many more birthdays filled with love and joy, peace and purpose. Always know that I have your back and God’s armies are with you everywhere. Happy Birthday sister. I love you to the moon and back!
