From Paul Suckling, pastor, Worcester, MA; Portsmouth, NH:
Dan
Boulanger has had a remarkable recovery and healing from God. After the
trauma of his heart attack and pneumonia and everything else he was facing, God
has answered prayers and Dan is now back at services. He has lost some weight,
and also strength, but overall is doing very well.
He
and the family extend thanks to all for the prayers, cards, and calls.

From Paul Suckling, pastor, Worcester, MA; Portsmouth, NH:
As of Friday,
August 25, Dan Boulanger is doing much better.
They have removed all of his tubes (except the catheter) and he's off
all the medications. He's breathing on
his own, with supplemental oxygen when needed.
He was wide awake in the morning and sitting in a chair! He looked
great, too. He tried to speak but was
having difficulty with speech as the medications were still wearing off.

Continued
prayers are requested for Dan Boulanger, member of the Portsmouth,

pneumonia a few days ago. The family is seeing if they can move him to a more
sophisticated hospital for better care. Thank you all for your prayers and
concerns.

From Dan Dowd, pastor, Portsmouth, NH:
Your prayers
are requested for Dan Boulanger, who had a massive heart attack on Monday
evening, August 7. It turns out that he had an almost completely blocked
artery. Doctors cleared the artery and put in a stint and a balloon pump
to help the heart beat (and to keep it from stopping again). The doctors
are keeping him quite sedated because as he started to come out of the
medication he began thrashing around and trying to take out the IV's. As of Tuesday he was still on a ventilator
under heavy medication battling congestive heart failure. Because of the
sedation the doctor's are unable to assess the complete extent of the
damage. Dan is slowly improving however, with his blood pressure coming
up (toward the acceptable range) and he is voiding through a catheter, so it
looks like his kidneys are working. Please pray for Dan and his family,
who are all at his side at this time.
