From 01 Doc

01 Doc sent me email about the pastor, whom we all know, of a Baptist church, here. I asked her permission to reproduce a part of her email here (removing actual names) and she kindly consented. We ask your prayers for the pastor, his family and his congregation.

From 01 Doc:

Pastor "P" collapsed, was taken to the hospital, and they believe he has an aneurism in the brain. He was put into a medical coma, tests were run to see if surgery was possible, and then today we found out that he was moved from Kendall Regional to Jackson Memorial. His son spoke to R and said it didn't look good.

The pastor had surgery. The doctors found the blood vessel that had the aneurism and nearby was another vessel that they were able to bypass the first one through. Our informant (and friend) said that doctors said the 2 vessels in that area were not something they expected. They'd never seen it in a surgery like this. The blood flow wasn't impaired and apparently he is going to be fine. I (01 Doc) said God already knew what was needed and had been there before the doctors, making things ready.

Pastor "P" is in good hands.

To show how it "rains on the just", Pastor P is a few cubicles away in the CCU from the Metro Dade deputy who went down on his Harley last night in Miami. He wasn't responding when he was brought in to the ER. When the deputy was a teen, he attended the church where Pastor P preached/preaches and a contemporary of ol Doc's eldest daughter and her husband. Prayers are requested in that situation, too.
