Rob was released from the hospital yesterday. He's still got a long way to go, but getting this far has been a miracle.

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes, they work!

Update: Rob is out of The CICU. They have put him in a “telemetry” room, and he’s unhooked from the dozen monitors, now he just has one wearable monitor. It amazes me what modern medicine can do.

He’s awake! The surgeon is surprised he’s doing so well, they’ve got the breathing tube out and he’s even walked around a little.

Good news! (reply)

Glad it all worked put.

Heart Transplant (reply)

I haven't been very good with updates, but Rob has been slowly pressing forward toward getting a heart transplant. Believe it or not, the insurance company has more say so on who gets a transplant than the doctors do. It's an aggravating process.

But there is good news. Monday or Tuesday of last week, Rob was finally officially placed on the transplant list. And late Wednesday night he called and said they had a heart for him. I had to hold my wife (his mom) back from going to Dallas right then.

We both went to Dallas Thursday, and they did the transplant Thursday night at UT Southwest in Dallas. The procedure took a bit over 8 hours and was a success. They have him in CVICU and sedated until at least Saturday, possibly Sunday or Monday. He has a nurse with him 24 hours a day, and none of the family has been able to go in yet. But the room has a glass wall and door and they leave the curtain open whenever they can. So we have been able to see him, just not allowed to go in yet.

Lots of prayers were sent up on his behalf, and never let anyone tell you that prayer doesn't work. One of the surgeons came out to talk to the family after the procedure. The Doc said he didn't know how Rob had survived as long as he did (47 yo) with a heart in such bad shape. Prayers and Willpower.

The Docs are concerned about his liver and kidney function. He’s undergoing round 3 of IV antibiotics for the year.

God bless him...we are on it. (reply)

I've never asked for anything like this before. My stepson is facing a tough fight. He's got a congenital heart defect and has had various surgeries all his life. He's in his 40s now and his heart is failing him. All this started with a blood infection a few months ago. He was back at work and doing better, but now he's down to 115 pounds and they admitted him to UTSW in Dallas yesterday. The Docs were hoping to do a procedure to help the artificial valve in his heart work better, but it's not going to work. Now he is working his way through a list of tests and specialists, and hopefully will be placed on the transplant list.

Rob is a devout Christian, if you could send up a good word for him and his wife, daughter and extended family, it would be greatly appreciated.
