Chris is having his pacemaker put in today. He went down for it around 11:30 a.m. He will then be moved to the step down unit for the remainder of the week. He should be discharged this weekend (possibly Saturday) We will fly home on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, assuming I can get a flight. Chris is doing sooo well now. The step down unit will help him prepare for being out of the hospital-walking unaided, daily hygiene, going up steps, daily medications (hopefully the 50+ pills a day he took in the past will be drastically reduced). The picture of Chris was taken on Friday evening. I think he looks pretty good, but then I am a bit biased. Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words, thought and prayers. Take Care. MJ

Oh my gosh! You will all be home for Thanksgiving! What a wonderful thought! The pic looks great - even has the old twinkle in his eye. Thoughts and prayers on your safe travel.

What good words are coming from you all now. Chris looks great.
I hope that the rest of this week goes as well as the beginning. As I was told many years ago we are to take one day at a time and we are to do the best we can on that day with what it is that we are given on that day.
Take care of each other.

What a great picture of Chris! I hope that the week flies by and you will be home before you know it! You are all still in our thoughts and prayers. Take Care!

I think he looks great. Better even than Tubby on the front page of the Lex. Herald in his Hawaiian shirt! If Kentucky wins tonight, that will be a step up for Chris. Good thoughts being sent your way.

I am truly amazed and delighted to see how well he looks!!! Talked to Carolyn this morning and she was anxiously awaiting the last of the procedures. What a blessing all of you have received, but most of all Chris!!! Sorry you won't be here to celebrate the holiday, but, that is minor, compared to the wonderful outcome of these last few weeks, Anne
How wonderful Chris looks. After all he's been through, I thought
he'd be emaciated, but he doesn't
look it. I know a week from tomorrow will be what you're looking for. Our love to both of
you. We appreciate, so much, being
able to keep up with his daily care. Mary Lou and JD
glad you'll are coming home, looks good, hard to believe you'll have been through so much. Russ
Didn't see the picture. Will try again. Talked with Aunt Carolyn today. She sounds great. Hope the implant went well, but I'm sure it did. Our thoughts and prayers are still with you all.
Love

Mom and I just looked at the picture of Chris and think he looks wonderful (except for the scraggly beard)! Love and prayers to you all.
