Many of you know that this last week has been challenging for all - after battling with pneumonia & cdiff for a few weeks the doctors decided to implant an impella device to help relieve his heart. That caused a few other complications that seemed to be worked through but then they determined his kidney's, lungs and heart were failing. He was rushed into surgery Thursday night 7/24/14 and put a sort of dialysis machine that basically supports all of these organs (not sure of what it is called). This is to keep the blood flowing, build oxygen in his blood and get his kidneys to start functioning again. He has been heavily sedated since but thankfully it seems to be doing what it's intended to do. Today they will be preforming open heart surgery to implant a VAD (Ventricular Assist Device)... once this is complete they will be removing the support. This is Greg's big chance to get past his current condition and self sustain again.

The hopes are that once Greg beomes stable with the VAD he will be able to go home for a few months and build strength. Once all of these planets align, Greg will be back on the heart transplant list.

There is still plenty of hope, he has a huge support group and with all of our prayers how can he possibly not do this?!? Go G-Reg, we got your back bud!!!
