Rodney’s Story

Site created on September 25, 2018

Saturday morning Rodney had a massive heart attack. Tina took him to the ER and within 20 minutes he was getting a stint put in. They realized his arteries were 85-90% clogged so they took him in for a triple bypass. The surgery didn’t go as well as anticipated and it became a quadruple bypass.  They decided Monday afternoon to send him to Barnes via helicopter. He arrived here at 7:45pm. They took him back to the OR and put in an ECMO which is basically bypass life support. This machine is doing the work for his lungs and heart so that his organs can rest & try to heal. Please don’t stop praying for Rodney. The Lord can do a miracle in his life and turn this around, PRAY AND BELIEVE FOR IT!! Thank you to every single one of you for checking in, all your love and support, and for your prayers.
