stevasaurus 22,706 #1 Posted September 19, 2018 I don't have any details yet. Smokin'Joe called me last night and told my wife that John had a bad stroke. I guess he is paralyzed on one side. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I'll post more as I find out details. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,065 #9 Posted September 19, 2018 Father in Heaven, you are the giver of life and the great physician. You know our needs and wants. Please heal John. We know that his brain has been damaged by stroke, we know that without your hand on him that he will never be the same. At the same time we also know that you can make him whole again, you can repair damaged brain tissue, you can enable him to continue to serve you on this Earth. Lord, hear my petition. Be with his wife and family as they experience this storm in their lives. I don’t always understand your plan for us, but I do trust that you work all things for the good. I only ask that it be your will to bring Glen back to us. I ask these things in the name of your Son and my Savior, Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belongs to you. Amen. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,706 #14 Posted September 20, 2018 I talked with Smokin'Joe tonight. It is John's left side. He is in a good care facility, and they are doing rehab. It seems his speech is hard to understand...so I don't think I would call him at this point. He does text if some of you do that. I know prayers work. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,679 #16 Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Come Holy Spirit, come to our brother John. Heal him so he may be whole again. Come Holy Spirit, just as you did to the apostles and send your gift of healing to your son John. In the Fathers name we pray, Amen Edited September 20, 2018 by oliver2-44 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,706 #22 Posted November 10, 2018 I'm going to post an update. John and I have gone to a couple of Iowa vs Northwestern games, when they play in Evanston every other year. Well, today...the Hawkeyes and the Wildcats were playing in Iowa. I just had to call him and see if he was watching the game and how he is doing. They are getting him up to walk around...with a walker...and he can do that by the sound of it. He is making progress, but it is very slow. That is good news, but I wish I had better. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
