[Nfbwv-talk] update on Ed's condition

[Karen McDonald]

Thanks, Mike and Barb. I went to see him earlier today and he's doing better. The heart rhythms seem to be regular and his heart is beating without the help of the pace maker at this point. That's encouraging because maybe he'll get to come home tomorrow and he may not need a permanent pace maker.

Jack, I'm laughing.  I can't wait to read this to him.  He'll 
love it, too.
Carolyn, our home address is:

151 South Mineral Street
Keyser, 26726.
I just got back from a visit and the latest is that he seems 
stronger today and ready to read a few books and listen to some 
podcasts and I brought him some toys with which to do that.  
However, there is an issue with his heart rhythms and they have 
hooked him up to a temporary pace maker.  There is a possibility 
that he will have to have a permanent pace maker installed and 
that will mean more surgery, although it won't be as evasive as 
the first surgery.  I just hope for the best, but, in the 
meantime, he sends a word of thanks to everyone in the NFBWV 
family for their thoughts, prayers, and well wishes for his 
recovery.  As the younger set would say, you guys are awesome!


Peace
Karen
