11 May 03 - 10:50 AM (#950458) Subject: RE: June Carter Cash seriously ill From: GUEST,Mary Katherine 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. |

Robyn 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. Dixie Hall |

12 May 03 - 10:02 PM (#951443) Subject: RE: June Carter Cash seriously ill From: catspaw49 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. Spaw |

15 May 03 - 02:33 AM (#952913) Subject: RE: June Carter Cash seriously ill From: Little Robyn Yes, thanks. That site doesn't say much at present but this fills in a few gaps: This update is from the Rockabilly Hall of Fame chat room: 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. ------------------------------ |
