Chris Martin Update

An email from Ray Martin:

IMPORTANT NEWS!!!!!

They found a heart for Chris and they did the transplant today.  The surgery went faster then expected, instead of being over at 5pm, he was out of OR around 4pm.  We spoke to the surgeon and they found him a strong heart that was an excellant match for him.   The surgery started around 9am this morning.  Chris was still asleep when we left the hospital, but his color was good.

The Doctors were kinda surprised by this heart, it was supposed to go to someone else.  At the last minute, they were unable to use the heart for it’s original purpose and instead they were able to put the heart into Chris.  The doctors said it was a fluke that this happened this way.  I choose to believe it was the answer to everyone’s prayer.

While Chris is not out of the woods yet, he is finally on the road to a full recovery.

Please continue to pray for him.

Thank you,

Ray Martin
