I just talked to Teesa's brother, Adam, from the hospital. Sam was still in the recovery room, but he was awake, and the doctor said that he was very pleased with the surgery. They did not have to cut into the sternum as much as they thought would be necessary, despite the fact that Sam is the youngest patient they have performed this surgery on. The doctor commented about how strong Sam's heart is because they had difficulty inducing a quiver in his heart to test the defibrillator. They did finally induce a quiver and the defibrillator worked properly. Sam will spend at least the first 24 hours in the P-ICU, possibly the entire 3 days if a bed in the "step-down" unit does not become available. Please pray for Sam's quick recovery and healing, and that his body will easily adapt to the defibrillator. Pray for Bill and Teesa as they care for him and that they will get sufficient sound rest while Sam's in the hospital.
Bill is doing well and they are both very happy that the surgery is successfully completed. Teesa had a huge headache earlier in the day, but it had subsided when I spoke with Adam. Please continue to pray for her healing.
God continues to show his mighty hand. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
