Hi to all my wonderful friends. I need some major prayers here ... My uncle who is a vietnam vet underwent surgery 4 months ago to have his right leg amputated, then had to turn around and had his left one done about a mmonth ago... well yesterday he had a heart attack and the dr could only get 40% of his heart functioning and told him that was all they could do for him.. and that people ahve lived a good life with 40% but he would have to follow the drs orders to the letter. please pray for my uncle . He is like a father to me ... we have a very long close bond . and alot of fun memories so please pray that the good lord will see fit to help him in whatever way is necessary even if it mean's taking him home to the angels.....

Thank you so much! It just break's my heart.... Just a little history about me and my aunt/uncle... When i was a baby they were dating. My aunt used to take me with her all the time...lol... my uncle finally told her to start leaving me at home..can you imagine going on a date with someone and them always bringing their neice along? anyway my uncle went into the army and they got married and at one point in his army career he was stationed ( after getting hurt in vietnam) in atlanta ga. well they have picture's of me outside playing with other kids at the age of 2 or 3 in their front yard at the army base. and after the army my uncle worked for milliken for many many years and i spent my summer's with them He got transfered to another town about an hour away and my aunt was at my house soon as school was out and i would spend my whole summer there with them and my cousin who was also justa little boy at that time. When i was 10 my mom and dad divorced and my father wasn't in my life for many years. But thanks to my aunt and uncle we lived with them for a couple of years and i have memories of my uncle taking me fishing and he worked on a dairy farm at that time and he used to take me every morning to watch him milk the cows.... with those old pastuerizing machine's. it was so cool..... so that is just a portion of the relationshiip i have had with my uncle and now you see why i say he is like a father to me cause for many years he was the only father figure in my life. I can except whatever god give's us and just hope whatever time my uncle has it is spent with alot of love and caring and family support.....

thank you all so very much!
Nan -- yes I live an hour away...

UPDATE: Went to see my uncle today and he is doing good... Dr said as long as he follow's his instruction's to the letter that he many people can live with only 40% of their hear fuctioning... so let's hope that my uncle is one of those few lucky people.He was in good spirit's, His heart attack was a mild one but a big wake up call.
Thank's again for the prayer's and will let you know more as it happen's so keep praying for us... thanks
