Wayne Goddard goes in for by pass......

[Raymond Richard]

My good friend Wayne had his heart start giving him problems about 2 weeks ago. He goes to the hospital on Tuesday of next week and surgery Wednesday. His heart has been getting worse everyday so pray that he doesn't have to go sooner and the ticker keeps on ticking. I'll be taking a trip to see him most likly a week form now and I'll keep you updated if something changes before then.....

Best wishes to Wayne, and my prayers go out to him. Any updates?

 

[Raymond Richard]

I tried calling his home last night but his wife must be at the hospital with him. I'll try again tonight and if that doesn't work I'll try calling his room Thursday thinking he won't be so out of it then.

I just got off the phone with Wayne's wife. Wayne is still kicking. They ended up doing 6 by passes and they would have done one more but they couldn't get to it. The doctors said Wayne has a good strong heart and when he heals up he'll be in good shape.......

 

[howiesatwork]

Good to hear.
Wish him well in recovery from us, and thanks for keeping us informed.

 

[Gossman Knives]

That's great news.
