Just got a phone call.  My best friend's dad (also our pastor) is in the local hospital with what they think is congestive heart failure.  They don't think he'll make it through the night.

The hospital here is horrible. PLEASE pray that God will recover him.  Pray that the hospital here will do everything right.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that.  He is in my thoughts and prayers.

CHF usually comes on slowly, has he been ill?  How old is he?

thoughts for a quick recovery

He passed on 30 minutes after we got to the hospital.

He was complaining of having trouble breathing around 930.  By 1100 they called an ambulance.

What was wrong was he had fluid in the sack around his heart, so no matter how many breaths he took, his heart wasn't pumping enough blood to his lungs.  Finally, around 130am, he said "I'm ready to go home."  A few minutes later his blood pressure dropped off and he died.

Thank God it was quick and fairly painless.  

Thanks for the prayers.  Pray for his wife and kids.

eta: he was 68.  He actually did seem a little pale and under the weather in retrospect.  He started feeling bad during his evening walk.  That's probably what brought it on.

Sorry for the loss - it is so hard to lose someone dearly loved.   Prayers sent for his family - may they be well, happy, and at peace.

I will pray for the family.

I know that this saint is with His Savior.

Psalm 116:15  Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
