Just a quick statement this week. As most of you are aware, Steve had a pretty severe heart attack on April 6th this year.
At first we did not have a complete grasp of the full nature of the problem. Over the last 4 months, Steve has been wearing a device known as a “Life Vest” This device is designed to constantly monitor the heart and to act as a defibrillator and shock the heart if it stopps beating.
The team of Dr.’s was closely monitoring the condition of the heart, while using medication to help heal the heart.
The goal was to bring the heart up to a point where the Dr.’s felt like it was strong enough to be able to handle the surgical implantation of a new style of pacemaker. (It is called a “bi-ventricular” and forces both ventricles to fire at the same time.)
That time has arrived and on August 25th, Steve had the pacemaker installed and was in the hospital for a day and a half.
This is being written in advance, but the assumption is that all went well (or this article would not have posted).
We will resume our regular schedule with lots of fun and good puppet stuff next week, but we felt like it would be best to plan a little down time this week.
Thanks for your patience.
Steve and JET
Hopefully all went well and Steve, and he’ll be up and running SOON!
Wishing you the best Steve. It was a pleasure to finally meet you both at VENThaven. Please keep up the great work. Our VENThaven 2 minute excerpt: http://youtu.be/gq9usVFIOLk
Thanks for the update.
Will continue to pray for Steve’s recovery.
Dear Steve and Jet,
