Joseph Habedank’s mother, Leah Griffis, recently suffered a life-threatening heart attack while waiting to board a plane. Airport paramedics were close by and performed CPR on her.
Since the incident on 5 November, it has been touch and go. However, Joseph says things are moving in a positive direction.
Joseph shared an update saying his mom’s ventillator was taken out and she’s breathing on her own and she’s awake and, “she’s very loud.” He explained that “she’s not quite talking, the tube being in her throat, they told her she wouldn’t be able to talk for a little bit but she’s trying really hard because anybody knows my mom knows she likes to talk.”
The family’s next prayer request focuses on communication. “That’s kind of our next kind of prayer request is that she can start communicating with us because you can tell she’s in a little bit of pain because of the probably from the broken ribs and also being intubated that long really messes with your throat so we’re hoping she can start communicating soon,” Joseph said.
The family is also facing difficult decisions ahead. Joseph asked for prayer as he and Lindsay “are trying to decide when we can go home and so we want to make sure we we have wisdom when it comes to that so it’s always hard you know trying to figure out what’s right so appreciate your prayers.”
Joseph concluded by saying, “This has been a good day.”
We are grateful for this good news! Please continue lifting Leah along with all of her family up in prayer.
