Hello!
My name is Haleigh Mickler, I am raising money for my father in law, Joey Osteen. Please see below -
Joey had the heart attack last Thursday and waited until Monday night at 8:00 to come get checked out. Because he waited so long he went into congestive heart failure. They life flighted him from Baptist Clay to downtown. Upon arrival they rushed him into cath lab and put two stints and a balloon in. At 6 am on Tuesday morning he was rushed back into surgery to have a pacemaker put in as his blood pressure kept dropping. He started having pain and numbness in his right leg due to poor blood flow from the balloon he was sent into surgery once again at 1 pm on Tuesday to have the balloon removed. He is currently on a ventilator and they are trying to get his strength back up because he has another major surgery in the next week for open heart surgery. The surgeons first words out his mouth before giving an update after he was life flighted was he should not have made it and that he was sure he would pass on the operating table when they did the cath to find the blockage, but he pulled through.
He has had stints placed and has been on a heart pump, which is the only thing keeping him alive. He had an Impella placed to pump for his heart and allow his heart to rest some so than he can recover and his body can prepare for open heart surgery in the coming weeks.
We believe in a God of miracles! All of the doctors have repeatedly said "we don't know how he is alive",
BUT GOD CAN DO IT! We know that God can work miracles.
Joey has a long road of recovery ahead, please join us in prayer for him & all of the medical staff watching over him.
If you feel led, to donate I know he would greatly appreciate it as he has recently started a new job & we are unaware what insurance looks like for him.
If you can't donate, please share & join us in prayer for my father in law. ❤️
