I want to introduce you all to my beautiful cousin. Her name is Tracy Allain. She is a 39 year old mommy to three of the sweetest children you will ever meet, Caroline (8), Eric (10), and Dustin (15). Tracy is blessed to have a wonderful husband (Danny) that is very supportive and loving. Tracy's full time postition is being wife/mommy. She enjoys cooking, playing with her kiddos, helping with their projects and just being mommy. Danny is a loving, hard working husband and daddy. He is very busy working two jobs to support his family.
They were all busy "doing life" and planning on celebrating Caroline's eighth birthday this past Sunday. They were going to my Aunt Peggy's (her mom) house to have some yummy food topped off with cake and ice cream to celebrate. Tracy called her mom informing her that she didn't feel well and didn't think they could do Caroline's b-day. She began to feel REALLY bad and had Danny take her to Williamson Medical ER. Sunday night we all got the dreaded news. She had a heart attack and was in ICU with only twenty percent of her heart functioning. Williamson felt as though they had done all that they could do so she was transferred to Vandy on Tuesday.
Our week has been filled test, and more test, medications, lots of doctors, tears, hope and despair. What a week. The doctors informed Tracy that she would need to undergo a test that would tell them if her heart was viable and well enough to do bypass open heart surgery. Her three major arteries are one hundrend percent blocked and the hope was to do bypass surgery for at least one major artery. This was our hope and prayer. We needed some good news. The doctors came in this morning with the results. They informed her that bypass was not an option and even worse she is not a canadate for a heart transplant because of her medical history. Only five percent of her heart is functioning. Tracy is in pain, she is weak, she is afraid and she desperately misses her children. WE NEED A MIRACLE! So, I am asking each of you to pray for healing. I am also asking you to consider a financial contribution to help with upcoming expenses for the family. Danny is working the two jobs to support his family. He needs to be able to have some time off to take care of their children and be with Tracy. We don't know what God's plan is but we trust in Him. We will praise Him and love Him through this storm.
We are praying for a miracle along with other saints in the Kingdom. I beleive that we serve a big God and He is in the Miracle business. I pray for my sweet friend Peggy. I am praying for Danny and the children.
