Let me preface this by saying: If this type of thing is not allowed here and the mods need to remove it, I would totally understand and wouldn't be mad.
I'm asking for your help. My Dad, Ralph, had a heart attack. I'm reaching out to this community that I've been a part of for many years and asking for prayers for him. If you are able to, please pray for him! He has been unconscious in the hospital for a week and has had multiple emergency surgeries. Please pray for healing for his heart and for guidance for his surgeon, doctors, and nurses.
I've experienced enough in my life to know that prayer can be, and often is, very powerful. So please, if you can, pray for my dad.
*Update 01-28-2025: He's still in intensive care and unconscious. He's had two stints in his heart that collapsed, they were able to reinflate one. The second one they've not been able to get to open up. Please keep praying for healing for his body and heart. Thank you guys so much for praying for my dad. He means so much to my mom, to me, and to all his kids and grandchildren. He's the best dad I could have ever asked for. Please keep praying for him!*

Many prayers for your dad! My heart goes out to you-my dad was in the hospital last year for another issue and he's okay, but it was a truly scary time. Things got worse before it got better. Be there for him as much as you can, it will help.
I feel for you and your mum, sending lots of good, strong thoughts your way. Hang on, don't give in to despair, my own dad has five bypasses, and he's doing just fine at 86 years! The universe sees you and holds you all.
I will.
Already said a prayer for him, will continue to. Also praying for strength and calm for you and the rest of your family as well, I know times like these are horribly hard on everyone involved. God bless!
I lost my mom in 2025, it'll be 5 years next month. Her and my dad were married for over 40 years, and I helped him adjust to the massive change in his everyday life. It's scary how quickly these things can happen and out of nowhere and the strain on him during that difficult time leading up to her death was beyond measure-I understand what you're going through.
The best thing you can do is ask for the prayers and make sure you're there for him and your mom as much as possible, it'll mean the world to them and make a huge difference for everyone.
I will pray for your Dad and you and your family during this difficult time. I'm sorry you're all going through this, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
You've got it.
Sure, prayers!
Sending good energy for the best possible outcome, and for peace and strength for all who love your dad. May all that you hold holy watch over you all.
I have prayed for him and will do so again. Much strength and the best energy for you and your Dad. May he be well with you again soon.
You've got mine. Wish your dad a soonest recovery !
You know today is our Luna New Year's Eve and next year is the Year of Snake. Snake means healing, propitious, toughness and lucky charms... wish all these go to your dad and your family!
I will pray for your dad Ralph, my dad just had double by pass surgery and prayer helps.
Praying for your dad, and you and mom.
Many prayers for your father, that he may get well soon and for your mother and you that you have the strength to overcome this difficult time. Hugs.

Of course I will pray for him. And you, it's rough just wsiting/hoping/praying for someone you love to be healed.
We went thru this, too. I know what you're feeling. Our Dad was never the same, he lost too much. His musical genius as a concert pianist was fully destroyed. But we had that chance to help him and keep him entertained.
If this Universe can hear all of us responding to your request, it will allow you and your family to have these opportunities as well. Take care!

You and your all family have my prayers, and my strongest solace. Thank you for reaching out here and giving us the chance to keep our souls human.
My prayers are with and for your dad and your family. As Ruthven has said, thank you for reaching out.
Blessings.
I have found that reciting Psalms 6, 13, 30 and 38 are very powerful when praying for health and recovery from illness--you may wish to include these. Best wishes for the health and recovery of your father.
I am praying for your dad!
3Diva There are times when we feel powerless, we shall gather to ask the sovereign God for help.
To give strenght, comfort and hope for a better outcome.
If you go to a church, ask the Pastor and the members of the congregation may join in the prayers.
When there are more joining the prayers the better, the Lord shall grant this request.
God bless you!
I hope the best for your dad. These turns are never easy. I hope also the best for you, @3Diva .
Sending positive energy your way.
Hubby's Mom, Grandpa and great Grandpa were ordained ministers. So are we both, but we unlike them we are none practicing. We do pray daily and at all meals ands we too believe prayer works. We will include your father in our prayers. Stay strong for your Mom.
Edit: @3Diva when two or more agree (M 18:19-20) prayer is very powerful. Pray with your Mom or with one or two others (hands held). If unfamiliar just google 'prayer when two or more agree' because your prayers will be earnest heartfelt and very very powerful.
Prayers for your dad. Hope he's doing better!
Sending Love and light and heartfelt prayers for your dad. I pray that he gets well soon.
