Please say a special prayer tonight for our Pop. This is my Mom's Dad, Bill Elliott, that lives in Walcott. While walking at the community center today, he collapsed and became unresponsive. Thanks to our amazing God, an RN happened to be there and started CPR, utilized an AED, and got him back to breathing while the ambulance arrived.
After extensive testing and procedures, they believe his heart became so out of rhthym, it stopped. He is currently on the ventilator and sedated at Arkansas Methodist Hospital in Paragould. The doctors say he required heavy sedation because he was trying to wake up and his pupils were reactive! They will try to wean him from the ventilator tomorrow and we hope to have him transferred to St. Bernard's in Jonesboro. The doctor believes he will need a defibrillator.
Times like this are hard. The unknown and waiting can seem impossible. Please pray tonight that we remember that God knows best and count the many blessings he has bestowed on this family. Pray that he will heal Pop if it be His will and that we will not worry but trust in Him. Pray also for the sweet lady that God worked through today.
