MEDICAL UPDATE

Hello all. As most of you know I (Allen) suffered from irregular chest pains and trouble breathing last night. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance and observed overnight and through the next day. I still don’t feel 100%, but I praise God for His mercy and grace in helping us through this unexpected ordeal last night and I have returned home.

• I praise God that I could call out to him while in pain, knowing that He is my sovereign God.

• I praise God that I have a wife who joined me in calling out to Jesus, that we can both know Him and turn to Him.

• I praise God that the children were already asleep while this painful episode occurred and they only found out about it the next day.

• I praise God for the quick response to Sharon’s request for an ambulance, and for a hospital that was 15 minutes away.

• I praise God for seeing a few familiar faces, one of the ambulance medics and an emergency room nurse who both live in PetÅ‘fibánya. When asking what I was doing (apparent mumbling), I responded, “I’m praying.”

• I praise God that the EKG, blood pressure and blood tests all indicate that I did NOT suffer a heart attack, but ‘unstable’ angina pectoris.

• I praise God that a kind nurse allowed Sharon to spend the night in my room even though they don’t ‘officially’ allow it.

• I praise God for being able to fall asleep.

• I praise God for the quick response of friends who were able to watch over our kids, and those who quickly spread the news to others who would graciously pray for us in this time.

For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.  Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.  In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me. — Psalm 86:5-7

I would appreciate your prayers for complete healing. Please pray for my Sunday to be a day of rest without any reoccurring angina. Please also pray for a successful appointment with a cardiologist on Monday. I deeply appreciate your concern and faithful prayer support! Peace in Christ — allen
