My name is James Michael Loudermilk. I live in Roland Oklahoma (Just outside Fort Smith Arkansas. I have been a Christian since June 10th 1990. I would appreciate all the prayers for me and my wife Debbie, that I can possibly get. We are both type 2 Diabetic. Between March and May of 2012, I had 5 separate heart attacks. On May 12th of that year I suffered the 5th and most severe of those 5 heart attacks. I was admitted to Sparks hospital in Ft. Smith that night. The next morning, a heart cath was done on me. they found out that I only had 3 major arteries in my heart, all of these were blocked over 90%! They also found out that all the blood vessels in my body are as thin as very small string so I have an ongoing severe blood flow issue! Because of that blood flow issue, I had to wait until May 31st 2012 to have the triple by pass open heart surgery that I needed. On May 31st 2012, I underwent that triple bypass, open heart surgery. After that surgery was completed, while I was being transferred to cardiac ICU, I died for 15 minutes. After I was revived, and kept on life support, and the heart surgery room that I had just been in was cleaned & prepared (no others were available) I was taken back into surgery, and a second, separate, open heart surgery was performed on me that same day. I was in the hospital (that time) from May 12th, 2012 until June 14th, 2012, one day before my 60th birthday. I was readmitted into Sparks 5 more times (for approximately 6 more months of hospitalization) in 2012 due to severe physical complications: severe chest & heart pain, dizziness, severe nausea, vomiting, blacking out, chest cracking & popping, severe migraine headaches, confusion, memory loss, and depression, In June 2013, a ct scan was performed on me at a different Medical Facility, 'Mercy Hospital' in Ft. Smith. That ct scan showed that my sternum was broken completely apart in 6 separate places, and all the wire that had been used to close me up after the two separate open heart surgeries was almost completely broken apart. On July 10th, 2013 a sternum repair surgery was performed on me at the Veterans Hospital in Little Rock Arkansas. My wife and I were told in May 2014 that that surgery had failed. My sternum is coming apart again, and I am experiencing all the former symptoms (sometimes much worse) all over again. The church that we used to attend has turned their backs on us completely. Because I haven't already experienced my total healing, we are too negative for them. I have asked for prayer but that is not acceptable because I am specific in making my prayer requests, I tell my exact need, whatever that need is. We do not have a home church right now because we can't find one, and we are also currently experiencing car trouble, I am not physically able to do the repairs that need to be done on our car, and our finances are limited as well. Please I am simply asking for prayers for me & my wife in this critical time. We truly want to keep being Christians, but right now it is VERY difficult. We don't even get any visits or phone calls from the people at the church we used to attend, and none of the local churches visit. I don't understand any of that? I am certainly NOT perfect, I admit that I have made my mistakes, but GOD forgives, doesn't he? We have forgiven all those people in Jesus name. Please pray for us, thank you, GOD bless you all.
