Beloved brothers and sisters in joni...Brian and I want to share some news
thanks to a gentle nudge from Jody earlier this evening. We have talked this
through and feel it is time. We know that this is an amazing, incredible,
loving and supportive community which is why we decided to come forward.
This is very difficult to talk about and I don't exactly know how to do this
so I will start from the beginning. Some of you know already, so please bear
with us.
We are writing to tell you that we are facing some tough times now and in
the near future because of Brian's health. A couple of weeks ago, due to
some telling symptoms, Brian decided to see a cardiologist for a check up.
He had a stress test done and the very next morning, the doctor called with
the results. Brian has a blockage in his descending coronary artery and
consequently, there is a marked lack of blood flow to the front of his
heart.
Brian is going to have a diagnostic cardiac cath done so that they can
determine how extensive the problem is and based on the results of that,
they will decide what to do about it. Depending on the outcome, there are a
few choices. I'd rather not get into those details just now. It is very
upsetting to even talk about it.
This has been a very stressful and scary time for us both. While we continue
to grow even closer in our love for one another, we realize that we cannot
do this one alone. We come to you this evening to ask for your support,
prayers, thoughts, candle lighting...whatever it is that you do in times of
need.
Please keep Brian in your prayers so that he can remain calm, optimistic and
filled with courage. Please ask for his healing and quick recovery. I need
to ask for support for myself so that I can be strong for him.
I will be with him for the whole procedure and whatever else they decide to
do. If you need to get in touch, you can through this address, rather than
my iprimus one. I will certainly let you know the outcome of the cath.
warmest and heartfelt thanks to you all in advance,
holding hands pretty tight,
love, Mags and Brian
