Please keep my dad, Uncle Lloyd, in your prayers. He was having chest pains and went into the hospital late Wednesday. They did a heart catherization yesterday morning and found out that his arteries looked like my drain after I poured the turkey grease down it.
They will probably be performing some sort of surgery on Monday, but just what type is apparently still up in the air. Prayers are appreciated, and if you want to visit he is in room 3519 at Capital Region Medical Center in Jeff.
If you do visit, he will claim that his blood pressure goes up if you don’t let him win at cards. This is not actually true.
Shawn Baker has been drawing his blood this evening, and I think he’s taking a bit more than is absolutely necessary just to be ornery. By the way, I would have posted this yesterday but he said that he didn’t want any visitors on Thanksgiving.
Julie Baker says
Sarah works the weekends so she will make sure he gets good care over the weekend. Just relax and get well soon!
Lloyd Jr. says
We saw Sara this morning, and it has been nice having Shawn take Dad’s blood. Dad really looks forward to seeing them.
Christina Rowland says
Surgery has been postponed until Tuesday morning. They will be performing a triple bypass procedure on his heart. please keep Uncle Lloyd in your prayers over the weekend and especially Tuesday.
Heidi says
My prayers are being sent!
Anne Miller says
We are lifting him up and will be praying for successful surgery and recuperation. The family remains in our prayers, as well for peace and comfort! Our Great Physician neither slumbers, nor sleeps!
Cleo says
I am trying to get in touch with Mark Sommerer if anyone knows how to reach him let me know. His Aunt in Staten Island is trying to reach him. Mark please call your Aunt Jonie.
Anne Miller says
He is on FB.
Naomi Vetter says
We just got home from Kansas City and I had a phone message from Margie telling of and asking of Lloyd’s health, so I got on the family website and got the answers to her. I was quite surprised and my little brother is in our prayers. Tina and Lloyd, please keep the updates coming. They are appreciated, and I will copy/paste them to Kathy Jane so she can keep Margie abreast of his surgery and healing.
Aunt Lolly says
Lloyd looks wonderfully good for being so sick! We had a nice visit last evening. Opal Trinklein is in the hospital on the same floor, I seen her for a little while. She said that Jane and Lloyd sure had some beautiful children, I knew that, it was just nice to hear her say it. She also bragged on Sarah and Shawn for being such good nurses. I was proud! I love you little brother. We all need you!!!! Hang in there.
Lloyd Jr. says
We got to stop by and talk to Opal for a little while. Opal and I have the same birthday.
Lloyd, Jr. says
Dad is out of surgery. Mom says that everything went well The Dr. said that his heart was damaged by the heart attack(s), but that his heart looked better than he thought it would after surgery.
He is in the ICU now, and Mom, Tina and Aaron are there. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.
Heidi says
I love all of my family so very much! Well with the one exception being Pete. Too many prayers being needed in this family lately. It makes me sad to know all the tears and fear in our hearts. The lord will lift us all up above this!!
Anne Miller says
It is a blessing to pray together, as a family! Prayer is powerful and Our Father hears each one! Let Uncle Lloyd know, we are covering him in prayer!
Nathan Folkemer says
Heidi & Anne, your words are so true! My mind has been on Uncle Lloyd and his household. I wish we were still in Jefferson City to offer a little help. Please know we are praying for health and strength for you, Uncle Lloyd!
Lloyd Jr. says
Nathan, we could use a little update on Samantha too when you have the time.
Mary Jane says
Our love to you and everyone in this ordeal, Uncle Lloyd.
Jane P. says
Uncle Lloyd, Aunt Jane, and rest of his special family,

Jane Sommerer says
Lloyd got out of the intensive care unit yesterday. He is able to get up and walk around and is very anxious to come home.
