Wireman Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I received an e-mail from Mike Casey's daughter a few minutes ago. She is requesting prayer for Mr. Casey. Mike Casey is a former Kentucky Wildcat that played for Adolph Rupp in the last 1960's. Here is the message: Dad has congestive heart failure and is awaiting a heart transplant. He acquired an infection in his legs several months ago that has put a halt on the transplant process. He is almost cleared for the transplant per the infectious disease doctors, however his other organs are starting to fail. This morning the doctors told us they don't think he will make it a week. We are very strong in our faith and believe miracles happen everyday and by the Grace of God he will be healed. Love & Blessings, Laura Casey Lake
UKMustangFan Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Isn't he the guy that does the radio show or something? The one who held the UK scoring record in Freedom Hall until this year?
Wireman Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 He was a Wildcat great. He scored over 1,500 points in his 3-year career and was drafted to the NBA.

Wireman Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 I received an update from Mike Casey's daughter, Laura, this afternoon. Everyone please continue to pray: An update on Dad. Thank you Our wonderful God!!!! Dad has made it out of surgery. Everything went well and better than the surgeon expected. Dad is recovering and should be back in his room in about an hour. The next steps are big ones. As of right now, no blood transfusion and no dialysis but they will keep a close eye on Dad. He still is at risk for infection. We aren't out of the woods yet. The next 10 days are critical but we have FAITH, my Daddy is a fighter and God is good. Thank you for all your prayers and sweet emails and calls. We ALL appreciate the love and support we are receiving.Keep praying. God bless you! Love, Laura
