Tracy Stuffle [Update]
Tracy stuffle is on day 46 of his medically induced coma in Nashvile,Tn after suffering a stroke. His wife, Libbi, has been giving daily updates on The Perrys facebook page. Here is a portion of what was posted last night:
Tracy Update 3/8/13 @ 8:45pm: "Sitting here beside Tracy in his ICU room just thinking back over the past 46 days. It's hard to believe that we've been here that long. It's had it's ups and it's had it's downs. We have rejoiced and we have cried. God has been right here on the scene the whole time! Even tho there have been days that I could not see His hands at work, He was here! I have felt a peace in my heart that's very hard to explain. When fear starts trying to grip my heart, it's peace like a river that flows over me. God is my refuge!! A shelter from the strong winds and angry waves. Psalms 9:9
How do people who don't know The Lord get through times like this? I can't imagine and don't want to imagine. Maybe that's why the world turns to alcohol, drugs, sex and things of this world to escape it all. Tonight if you are one of these people who don't know Jesus Christ in the free pardon of sin and you've tried all the world has to offer, why not try Jesus?? Why not let Him carry all your burdens? That's why He took the cross upon His shoulders to Calvary, to save us and give us hope where there is no hope! To give us joy when there is no joy! To give us life where there is no life! Don't carry your burdens alone! He wants to carry them for you!! Ask Him to come into your heart to live forever!
His blood pressure is still elevated some. It's from the sodium they are giving him to wash out the brain. His kidneys are working good. The cranial pressure ICP has been good today with 7 a low and 14 a high. If I may ask you, will you please join me in praying specifically for these issues to be cleared up and return to normal? The bowels to release, the fluid to flush out of body and the blood pressure to return to normal."
The Benefit concert for Tracy Stuffle is Tuesday, March 19th at Christ Church Nashville featuring Oak Ridge Boys, Mark Lowry and more. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. All proceeds from the benefit concert go to help pay the family with Tracy's growing medical bills.
