4/9/10, updates from Nancy Dobak

1. Lyn - Thanks so much for your kind words.  I, too, am so grateful to those who worked on Ned and truly saved his life.  I don't understand yet the incident but the doctors are not calling it a heart attack, although when your heart stops what else could it be.  There is a very long word for it starting with electro...... and this morning they are implanting a pacemaker/defibrillator to handle any further incidents.  I plan to bring him home tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone for their phone calls and offers of help.  We are truly fortunate to live in this community.

2. Lyn - I just talked to Ned who is still waiting to be taken to the OR for his procedure.  Anyway, the hospital's words for what happened to him is "sudden cardiac death" or "cardiac arrest".  Still sounds like a heart attack to me.

3. Yes, please do use the updates.  He got his pacemaker/defibrillator this afternoon and is wide awake and ready to come home.  I'm ready, too.
