Louis Dean Has a Pacemaker and is Doing so WELL!!

 We arrived at the hospital EARLY!


Here he is all dressed up in his new Sunday overalls!


He 'stupors' for an hour or two when he wakes up in the mornings so he was mellow and relaxed.


Our beautiful Brenda and her Billy came up to sit with me during his surgery and brought all sorts of drinks and snacks.


The doctors and nurses were all so wonderful and he stayed calm and cheerful as they prepared him for the procedure.


All ready to go!

It was only a 45 minute surgery and an hour and a half in recovery.


His room was all ready for him and we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening together!
I read and he  watched football.
He was an excellent patient and has charmed all the nurses!
The pacemaker is working and I sat the monitor up that will transmit the 'report' to the doctor.
He will keep this monitor beside his bed for the rest of his life.
The pacemaker gathers data and transfers it every night between 2:00-4:00 AM and if something is not working right it will send a message to the doctor.

He's already feeling better and is more than ready to come home!!

Thank you all for your love, kindness, friendship and prayers!
Praying God's blessings on each and every one of you......


Amen......

  18. Well now lets see if you can keep pace with Louis Dean and his New PaceMaker!! Thank the Lord for modern medicine and how it can iprove and sustain life. God uses many way to keep us going, and one is those wonderful doctors and nurses. So thrilled he is doing so well and will be monitored to make sure he stays that way.
    You are right, he is so adorable! Loved the little video and to hear your southern accents.

    Will keep you in our prayers!
