The following is copied from an email sent by the CIDAA Chaplain's wife, B.J.: Dan has been having some heart problems. He was in the hospital 2 weeks ago with congestive heart failure. He had 12 pounds of fluid drained out. Monday, 13 August 2007, he had a cardiac catheterization and they found the stent from a year ago had blocked up so it was replaced. He also had some low blood work so that is being addressed now. Tomorrow, 15 August, he is having a defibrillator inserted. Hopefully he will be able to come home on Thursday. Keep us in your prayers, B.J.
NOTE: Dan has been doing a terrific job in his position as CIDAA Chaplain. Please send words of encouragement. The address is on page 131 of your Gold Books. Thanks!
