Prayers, love and support for Debilynn

Debilynn, in a note stated:
"I have a "really bad heart" and I am having
a heart cath done on may 3rd. The right side
of my heart is double sized and the left
is doing all the work. It is putting out
only 25% what it should. all these times
I thought I was falling asleep here are
actually fainting spells from lack of blood
and oxygen to the brain. My doctor says he
says he thinks it might be a high pressure
spasm in my lower left lung causing
pressure on my heart so it can't work right.
He told me to go home and rest until i can
get the cath done. he also said that although
its an outpatient surgery, i am at high risk
because of everything together.
please pray for me. Thank you."

Note new information: "I got a call from the
hospital where i am having the procedure done.
I am also scheduled for an angioplasty at the
same time."

Update on May 4th: "I had angioplasty and had a stent put in the lower right artery. Dr. said I had 75% blockage from a clot. suppose to be on complete rest for 2 weeks. Praise God for answered prayer!"

Debilynn is a lovely lady, as many of you know.
I am running a contest to ask you for your
prayers and messages of support to debilynn
during this difficult juncture in her life.
Please pen your thoughts and prayers in
poetry, any form ok. Please make them
specifically for debilynn, please do not
enter poems with names of another in them
or used in the title.

Debilynn,
As you go through these procedures
and during your recovery,
please remember this:
Hope is your companion,
Love journeys by your side,
Faith acts as your elixir
And Jesus is your guide.

rules:
No sticky caps
no profanity
readable / adequate contrast please!
Please read and comment on each others' entries

    Oh Lord, we are so tired. It seems like the projects and challenges pile up each day and the frenzy in my life each night gets wilder- help. I pray for Deb, as she goes through this hard juncture in life. Help me, dear Jesus. Let Deb feel your loving arms wrap her tightly in
    the warm embrace of your endless love. Teach us both to make choices about our
    time, to remember what is important this season and to say "NO" Fill us with patience, love and a sense of humor. Remind us of your deep love for us and let the
    fire of that love be something we can share with everyone around me. I pray that you would protect her emotionally and physically from exhaustion and burn out. please give her a hug for me and be with us as we both face challenges. in jesus name amen.
