Threw in a small donation in for ya. Hope the ticker gets patched up & working like new again. Best wishes to you & your family in the trying time you’re experiencing.

I have asked our Father to bless you with doctors who have the wisdom to care for you and your heart condition. May the Great Physician comfort your spirit, and heal your body, that you might be a testimony to Him. Also, as a wife, I pray for Stephanie as she cares for you and other family members. You are being covered in prayer.

What a terrible thing to be going through. You're quite lucky they found it! Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.

I want to update you all on my status and how I'm doing. First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone that has responded to this thread. Your thoughts and prayers have been up lifting and very helpful. Thank you from the bottom of my soul!

What I'm facing is a up hill battle and may take a long time to get over in so many ways. My cardiologist has me in a three month window. In that time, they are allowing the three heart medications I'm on to do their thing. I'm on a sodium and fluid restricted diet. This is to keep fluids from building up around my heart and lungs. (Going from eating anything I wanted to no salt is the hardest) Everything is bland now and if I eat anything that has salt on or in it tastes like a salt block! Lol

I don't have heart disease. No clogged arteries. No damaged heart muscle, just a week left side that only pumps at 20%. I have a 1/3 chance of full recovery, 1/3 chance of staying the same or 1/3 chance of declining.

Other than that, I feel much better and I'm optimistic as of now. On a reefing subject, I've been able to keep the reef going and it's actually doing very well.

So once again, a very humble thank you to my reefing family for your support and prayers! I'll try to get on here more to let you all know how I'm doing and maybe contribute a little.

Great to hear from you and to find out you are feeling a little better. Hoping for that full recovery 1/3.
