Rocky Day

Last night was pretty rocky for Uncle Louie. His heart had several "slow down" episodes. Generally today has been better; he only had one event.

Aunt Ruthie was able to speak with the cardiologist. They contemplated several different options on what to do with his heart. They don't want to put a permanent pacemaker in because they are hopeful that this is a temporary situation. They don't want to insert the temporary pacemaker because the risk of infection is high. So for now they have an external pacemaker on him. It's not the best but it's better than nothing and we pray that his heart will continue to strengthen and he will not need it!

We have to always remember that Uncle Louie is still very sick but considering where he was a month ago, he is still doing great! Louie is scheduled for surgery again tomorrow and hopefully will get to be out of surgery on Saturday (his birthday!!). Please keep all of the Buzeks in your prayers---it's been a tough week!!

As always we are so grateful for each of you that reads this blog and keeps Louie on your prayer list. We have known from the beginning that it would be a long road and we are so comforted by each of you!

We are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10
