Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Guys, If you all could remember Mike Compton from Richlands in your prayers ! Mike volunteers to help the Blues football team and does so much to help and is a great guy, but he had a massive heart attack the first of the week and is at Holston Valley hospital and will have open heart surgery this Friday 6/24/2017 and both he and his family need your prayers ! I need to edit this, I just found out that his heart suffered more damage than first thought and he is unable to have his surgery tomorrow and is in critical care unit and as of right now it is unknown as to what type of care or when, please pray for Mike and his family, they are having a tough time right now as you can imagine. Thanks ! Ryan4VT, rvtne216, cityofRaven and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 My prayers not only for a recovery, but a complete one. Heart attacks can rob so much quality of life, and he's such a good person. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Thoughts and prayers sent up! Heart Attacks/problems have hit my family hard over the years and even after a recovery the effects can linger on and snowball into other health concerns. Hope this gentleman has a full recovery and can get back to being as close to 100% as he possibly can. Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Good buddies with Mike from being on the race team plus my dad working down at Kidd tire. Not a better person that would do anything for you to help out. Didn't realize it was that Mike Compton that was being mentioned. Will watch for updates plus will post if I find anything as well.

Bigrhsfan 884 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Guys, the last info I got, he was still in critical care and they are still not sure what kind of care he will need. Still is way to weak to have surgery and they said his heart is only pumping at 15 to 20 %. They hope to know what they can do for his care in the next couple of days. His is a very sick man right now. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for him and his family ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Info I have which would come from as straight from the horse's mouth as possible is he is stable. Has a blood clot that is being treated before further treatment or surgery. Originally scheduled for surgery for cancer on Thursday on his neck and surrounding areas. Heart attack has that on hold. Have more details but will reserve that for some privacy. Bigrhsfan, GMan, Ryan4VT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Been a while since anybody has mentioned Mike. I do have an update for those interested. He was finally able to have the surgery that was originally scheduled. His heart is up to 25% from 15%. He is now on the transplant list. Anybody that knows him knows he has been able to work a bit but still long long way to go for him.

Was good to see him up and at a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
