Charlie is stable, but his heart's conduction system is not working properly. This is a frequent consequence of major heart surgery. They are going to wait for a day or two, and then place a pacemaker in his chest to keep his heart beating in a normal rythm. Charlie's chest wall is healing well and his cardiac muscle is functioning appropriately.
Since you all know Charlie, you must know that he is not acclimated to the immoblity of his condition. Please pray that a few more days in the hospital will not drive him crazy! He is a little confused as to time of day, surroundings, etc.
Thank you, once again, for checking in on dad and lifting him up in prayer. I know that he would be there for all of us if we were in a similar position.
Sending lots of LOVE to Charlie and Kevin from their St. Maarten friends, Linda and Mike Moss. We were so surprised to learn of Charlie's medical crisis - glad to learn about this blog so we can follow his progress. Prayers on the way to Charlie, Kevin and their beloved family!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Britt!!!
Hi Brittney, I had the opportunity to speak with Charlie and it was great to hear and listen to his old self, albeit not quite back to par. Maybe a couple of days will make all the difference. He's in our prayers. By the way, what happened to our Steelers!! Charlie sure is lucky to have such a wonderful family. Thanks for keeping us in touch.

Hi Charlie and Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are home Charlie and that the Lord is healing you from the top of your head to the souls of your feet. Sorry to hear about the nose bleeds though. I sent a card to you in the hospital, but it came back as I guess you were discharged before I got on the ball. I would love to resend it, but don't have your address.
Love to both of you and miss your presence at church fellowship. Love in Him Doris
