Matters of the Heart

I was in Kenya when I got the news. Jon emailed me his symptoms. He had been having chest pains, shortness of breath, and he said his legs and feet were three times the normal size. By the time I arrived home, he was very tired, was not sleeping well and his blood pressure was rising. However, the deciding factor for me to know something was really wrong was when the high school kids came over to play soccer and he chose to sleep on the couch! If you know Jon at all, you would be worried then too.

Ten days ago Jon was medi-vac’d out of the country. He spent a week in London and went through many procedures and tests. The doctors believe a virus has attacked his heart. We pray there will be no permanent damage. He has been flown on to the states to rest and recover until the middle of July. Hopefully he will be able to get off the heart medication soon.
