That he has Anti-thrombin 3 deficiency, an inherited blood disease, he is the baby of his family & by the time he was 47 he had out lived all of his fmly except for an adopted bro. & 2 half brothers. They all died in deaths related to this disease that was only discovered & diagnosed in them in 1985 by a forensic dr. who did an autopsy on my hubby's brother finding his entire body riddled with blood clots. Mae & female alike get it after young teen yrs. & it is now in the 3rd generation. My hubby cannot have blood thinners so you know the danger of surgery especially major. It is not cureable, they treat with blood thinners 'till they start bleeding & that's what caused my DH Intracranial bleed several yrs. ago. Can you even imagine being on 22 milligrams of coumadin a day when normal dose is around 2 or 2.5? Please just ask God that His will be done in our lives, God tells me His grace is sufficient so I am putting my faith & trust in Him. His surgery will be in the morning around 7 am CST I am forever grateful & you will be hearing from me./Lillian

For ea. of you a flower, mere words of thank you are not sufficient for the gratitude I have in my heart for ea. of you. I cannot possibly ans. ea. with this dial up, it would take days. Not only do you have a flower from me but I know there is a star in your crown for your loving, caring spirits. There is no way I can repay you but in my hear of hearts I know you carried us with your prayers right through to the throne of grace/Lillian

Dear Lillian - the prayers of the Cute Family will be a mighty cloak of protection as we ask for safe surgery and complete recovery.

Much love -

Lillian, I am so sorry to hear this... I will be praying for both of you, and for the surgeons. May the Lord be with you, and may He give your DH a complete healing touch. Nothing is impossible with God. Have courage my friend, I have seen a lot of miracles in my life.

Lillian, I will certainly keep you both in prayer, especially tomorrow morning. The Anti-thrombin deficiency sounds really terrible. It was certainly good that the forensic doctor discovered the cause of such early mortality in his family, so at least your hubby has the best care possible, even though that coumadin dose is unbelievable. Be faithful, try to get a good night's rest, lean on your God in this trying time, and we will be here for you as well with our prayers. Big, big hugs, Marji

Lillian, you gave me confort and strenght when i needed it( it is not over for me) now i think is right and just to ask God for you DH I will pray for him have faith everything is going to be all right, I do believe in angels, i am sending you all the angels in this universe to protect your DH and to guide Dr's hands. God bless you and all your family.

yes Lillian i will storm the heavens on his behalf .God with with you in this time in your life hugs carolyn

I have put this on my prayer list and I know God will be with all of you. Please let us know how things are going, but I will continue to pray. Please know that there are many holding this up to our dear Heavenly Father and He does Still do miracles! You might go to www.serrapeptase.info. It is a wonderful enzyme from silk worms that does great things. My Naturopathic Doctor told me they use it in their clinic for blood clots. You will be able to read all about it at that site. Yours in Christ. AlvaR

Dear Lillian,

You know Ron is under the care of the greatest Healer of all time. I know that you and your family have him covered in prayer.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I pray that all the doctors and nurses, staff etc. will be under His authority also.

May Ron find comfort knowing that many are praying for his complete healing. I pray that his blood disorder will be under control and even though he may be afraid, may he put his trust in our Lord Jesus. Thankyou and Amen!

Love and blessings Chris
