JeanieS’s Facing Major Surgery

On her Facebook wall, Cindy posts: "Prayers needed for my friend Jeanie Buchanan. She's having open-heart surgery tomorrow morning. Huckleberries Online friends will recall she had both kidneys removed this summer and is hoping for a transplant soon. She's had an infection in her heart that returned last week. It's settled in a hole in her heart, so the surgeon needs to go in and repair the hole. Please pray for peace for her and her family and that the surgery will go well. She's a tiny red-headed spitfire, who's faced more than her fair share of health woes."

DFO: Jeanie, who's known here as JeanieSpokane is a wonderful writer/person who helps David Laird with the Community Comment blog as well as her own Nuts & Nonsense. She has been a long-time reader & commenter on HucksOnline. She has battled a series of major health issues. Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts today.
