I received news this morning from a doctor aboard The Comfort that Wes is in stable condition but on a ventilator. He actually had a heart attack, possibly from the overload of fluids he was given to save his life. The bacterial infection he contracted, Shigella, is a dangerous bacteria that is responsible for many deaths in third world countries. The doctor couldn't tell me how much damage was done to his heart; additional testing may have to be done when he gets home. Heidi has not been able to be with him yet, but we are in the process of linking her with Dad and hopefully escorting him back to the US, compliments of the military. They don't expect Wes to be discharged until the weekend. Please pray for healing and encouragement for Dad, since he has been three days without any family and he doesn't have a fondness for hospitals. Thank you.
