Pray Hard

Let me start by saying on behalf of the Hannan family, they are all so grateful for all of the prayers and the support family and friends have provided. As I have said before Uncle John very much believes in the power of prayer, and now more than ever we need to come together as Christians and as family and friends of this amazing man and continue to pray hard.

The doctor has just informed the family that after reviewing the tests performed at Shady Grove (the first hospital he was brought to), it is apparent that John survived a cardiac arrest at home, and may have experienced another one at the hospital before he was air lifted. This tells us two things. First, it tells the doctors that Uncle John has gone through much more trauma than we initially anticipated. It also tells us that his survival is undeniably a miracle in every sense of the word. As for his prognosis, it does not change much. The fact that he has survived is the important part. The doctors still remain hopeful, and are still very pleased with the results concerning his surgery. They have made it clear that John is still very critical and has a long road ahead of him. Uncle John's heart continues to remain strong, but he is still getting a lot of support from the machines that are available. There is no plan to wean him off of these right now, as his body simply needs more time to rest. Prayers and his will to fight are sustaining him.

Please pray for Uncle John that he can remain strong and continue to fight. There are a lot of people that are waiting for him to come back.

Pray for his family, as this has been a very trying time for all of them. His family is hanging in there, but request that everyone everywhere continue to pray for their precious Dad.
