More prayers needed

Received word via Facebook that Loyd Dillenbeck his having heart difficulties again, please keep him in your thoughts in prayers.

RE Alan Borton:

From Laura: Update on Alan, they did remove part of the tumor, but what was left can not be treated with chemo and radiation, but medication can help. He will continue to be in the VA until his body functions can work on their own. I will find out that address for friends to send cards. Thank you.

Update on Loyd Dillenbeck

Loyd's daughter made a post on his Facebook account last night - He's finally home! The 2nd surgery to install the pacemaker helped the issues he was having after the 1st. Please keep him in your prayers!

Post Surgery update on Loyd

This just in from Loyd's wife this morning 8/9/11:
I finally made my way to a computer to give you an update on Loyd. Thanks for your patience.
The surgery went went. Post-surgery not going so well. Loyd is day 4 of afib (most of the time, off the charts). His little ticker just did not like being tinkered with!

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. We are in for a longer-than-expected hospital stay and know it will be a long, rough road to recovery.

Don't know when I'll get back to e-mail again. Please don't respond to this e-mail. Will be back in touch when we can. We no longer have internet at home as we can't afford it. Loyd off work 2 months without pay and I can't work as I am his caregiver.

Best way to get a hold of us is via snail mail.

Loyd Dillenbeck
1081 Mimosa Ave
Alamogordo, NM 88310.

Blessed to be able to stay at a friend's house not far from the hospital. Roberta has been a gracious hostess. I am getting plenty of sleep and am quite comfortable. The hospital chaplains are keeping me stocked with meal vouchers daily to use at the hospital cafeteria. And there's a Subway in the hospital to use as backup when I get tired of hospital food. Loyd & I are both weary of hospital life and ask for your continued prayers to get us homeward bound.

Love to all,
Stella

Update on Loyd Dillenbeck
