Jim White undergoing open heart surgery...please pray for him

Recommended Posts

I spoke with Jim on the phone the other day. The surgery was very hard on him....he spent about 4-5 days unconscious after the surgery and he was very close to dying due to the toll the surgery took on his other organs. However, he did pull through and he sounded much, much stronger on the phone the other day compared to the first time I spoke with him post surgery. He has been moved to a rehab center in Prescott Valley and will be there at least a week. They will re-evaluate his progress weekly and send him home when they think he is ready. But he is definitely on the road to recovery. Please continue to pray for him.

Well, here is a new update on Jim's progress....

 

Unfortunately the new valve they put in his heart has been leaking and they have to go back in and fix it. He is scheduled for surgery early tomorrow morning. Although he barely made it through the first surgery, they believe that he will not have as much trouble with the 2nd surgery. They will have extra pulmonary and kidney specialists on hand tomorrow to make sure they catch any problems before they become too large. The leaking valve is something they have to fix and they feel he has gotten as strong as he can with this leak going on, so now is the time. Please pray for Jim and his wife as they go through this difficult time!
