No Longer a Member | **Update On Nathan** We hust got home. My son posted this messege to all his friends so I will let him tell you all.. Hey, everyone. Just wanted to drop everyone a quick line to let everyone know about Nathan's surgery. He had a Defibrillator/Pacemaker put in the right side of his chest this morning. There were no complications, and it went beautifully. This device will shock him if another deadly heart rythm starts, and it will also give him a low current while he sleeps if an equally problematic low rythm occurs, which is, at the moment, a nightly occurence. They say that he has made progress since he got to Houston, and that he is on hold for a transplant at this time, but that they could put him back on if necessary with the click of a button. For right now, they're hopeful that medication will strengthen his heart, so we still have a little more time left here in Houston for them to treat him and monitor his day-to-day progress. How much time remains to be seen. I hope it's not too long. We'd like to get back as close to normal as we can get. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. Mike Powell The Art of Michael Powell I cannot describe to you the difference in our boy. His little eyes are dark and circled and lost weight..but dangit praise God he's sitting upright and smiling at you right here! Has been a long but happyintheend kind of day. I've got pictures..what kind of maw maw would I be if I didn't? Is this beautiful or what. When he came to, he thought he was still waiting for his surgery. Since coming out of recovery all he could think of was eating! Yep, that's nathan..he's back 1-Tony waiting for his brother in his bed. 2-Some of the many cards you have sent. 3-In recovery room. 4-This picture is worth a thousand words. I have more but kinda tired. Thank you all for traveling this road with us. |

| Hard to believe it's been such a short time from the pic of Nathan hooked up to all the tubes. What an amazing improvement. Now you all can get some long needed sleep.

No Longer a Member | I did take one big, long nap. Now I sit here at 4am . Actually the picture was taken a couple of weeks ago but was only recently sent to me. I think it would have been that much harder if I would have gotten it back then knowing I couldn't go there. I hope to continue with encouraging news. |
