I need good thoughts from ST. I learned earlier that a very close cousin will need major open heart surgery. We're all very worried.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Aug 22 '14, 06:43

He's had a heart condition since birth, he was born with a hole in his heart and other issues. He's been on a pace maker for the majority of his life and has had to have multiple surgeries.
This time they need to replace the leads and the battery for the pace maker. The leads have been in his heart for more than 20 years and this is a very sensitive surgery.
He and his family are missionaries in Uruguay and he's flown back to the U.S. for the surgery. He's in Florida right now but needs to come up north to Boston for the surgery. It's one of the few hospitals that do the surgery he needs performed.
They're trying to find somewhere to stay in Boston since they can't afford a hotel but that's not going well right now.
My cousin is under so much stress right now and I wish I could help him. He's one my favorite people on Earth and a wonderful father, husband, cousin, friend and man. Just an all around great person. He deserves better.

Please send good and health thoughts his way. :-)

Our friends just had their 6 month old have open heart surgery to fix a defect. They can do wonders now. I hope he has a very good outcome - Bacon Aug 22, 07:27 8
- Good thoughts for your friends kid. Science is amazing and has kept my cousin alive for more than 40 years. - Krusty Aug 22, 07:31 7
  - that's one of the great things about medical science - it constantly advances. Sometimes it feels like it does so in quantum leaps. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 07:51
  - It's very possible that the cure for his condition wasn't around until now. He may end up in the best health ever after this. - Bacon Aug 22, 07:33 1
