    Update on my friend Nick

    What happened: He has a internal pump to help his failing heart. His heart doesn't move enough blood to keep him alive. He is on the top of the heart transplant list. As he was leaving a gas station the cord the goes from in his heart to the external power supply got hooked on the lock, and the door pulled the cord out of the power supply. His wife was with him and immediately called 911, as a pastor who was getting gas came and helped with their 2 year old. He prayed for Nick till the ambulance arrived. The rushed him to the closest Hospital, but as the heart pump is a unique device they didn't know what to do. Nick unable to talk because his lungs were filling with fluid wrote down the name of the hospital he got it from so they called them and got treatment advice and started treating his symptoms but were not able to stabilize him. So the call Flight for life to transport him to the hospital where he got the pump.

    The pump has several defects and to make a long story short he has to have it replaced. He will be having Open heart surgery this Friday as they need to get more fluid out of his body prior to the surgery. When I spoke to him today he told me he thought for sure that he was going to die. He said, He felt the prayers and they strengthened him.

    His prayer request
    A heart (after they replace the pump he will drop down a few spots on the transplant list)
    Strength for his Wife (Cleo) she is one and a half hours from the hospital caring for their four children She stay with him for a day and night, then returns home for a day and a night, for the kids.
    Safe travels for Cleo as she commutes back and forth
    For his surgery Friday

    Thanks,
    Jake
