NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Singer June Carter Cash, the wife and Grammy-winning duet partner of Johnny Cash, was hospitalized in critical condition Saturday as a result of complications from heart surgery, according to their longtime manager.

Cash, 73, had the surgery on Wednesday at Baptist Hospital to replace a valve, said Lou Robin.

He said Johnny Cash is asking everyone able to pray for his wife's recovery to do so at 10 a.m. CDT Sunday.

"June did this for him one time when he was critically ill," Robin said. "The recovery the next morning was something the doctors couldn't describe or imagine."

June Carter Cash is a singer, songwriter, musician, actress and author.

She and her husband have performed together on record and on stage, doing songs like "Jackson" and "If I Were a Carpenter," which both won Grammy awards for them in 1967 and 1970, respectively.

She also co-wrote Cash's 1963 hit "Ring of Fire," which was about falling in love with him.

I am sure that anybody would wish her well - and so do I. Here's wishing her a speedy and full recovery.

And don't forget, before she married Johnny Cash, she was part of AP and Mother Maybelle's Carter Family!
Keep on the sunny side June.
Love and best wishes from New Zealand.

Saw June this afternoon and it's my belief that only God can turn this
around. The doctors are doing another test in the morning and will be
talking to John at 7:30 a.m. Please continue to pray. Miracles do happen
and we need a big one.

Same from here in South Florida. I don't believe one would last long without the other and they are too special to lose.

I do *not* know whether she has died and they haven't releasd the news yet, or whether, as sometimes does happen, her strong heart continues to fight for awhile lnnger.

having had a mitral valve replaced myself, I have been thinking good thoughts for her. I am also more than slightly aware of the incredibly high number of complications that valve surgery involves and they are truly significant. Keep holding good thoughts and sending prayers for the entire family.

I've heard no updates since the email from Dixie Hall saying that she had been disconnected from life support. Everyone's praying really hard at the hospital but it doesn't sound good.

Yes, thanks.
That site doesn't say much at present but this fills in a few gaps:

MAY UPDATE
~ 5/13/03 ~

As some of you may know, June Carter Cash had open heart
surgery to replace a heart valve, which is a procedure that
had been planned for some time. The doctors & family felt
everything went well, but June went into cardiac arrest at
2:00AM Thursday. The doctors suspect she was without oxygen
for 15-20 minutes. She was placed on life support, but
unfortunately there was little that could be done at that
stage, & June has very little brain activity.

John was admitted to the hospital on Friday as a
precaution, as his health is very fragile, not to mention
his older sister Louise just passed away on April 4 as
well, so this is a very trying time for all concerned. He
was sedated so that he would have the strength to help his
family make tough decisions that are to follow.

A family meeting was held today to make decisions in
regards to how long to keep her hooked up to life support,
& it was decided to remove her today, which they did at 1pm
Central. As of this moment a public announcement has not
been made yet.

I hope you all will keep the Cash & Carter families in your prayers.

Thanks, Little Robyn. I had been wondering how he was doing, too. This is so sad. Our prayers and thoughts go out to them and their families.
