He seems to be doing OK. It happened 2 1/2 years ago. He had to report for duty while he had the flu. His CO thought they would send him home, but the doctor or whoever thought he was faking it. At some point, someone decided to give him a typhoid shot (knowing he had the flu). It caused A-fib in his heart, enlarged heart, leaking valves and a few weeks later we got a call from his wife that he had to have a heart transplant. Long, bad story about hospital and military insurance/not wanting to pay. Good news is that after much prayer, 1 year of no work/exercise/restricted diet/meds it looks like his heart was healed and everything came back to functioning in a normal range, praise God. Very scary time for all of us. Mixed feelings regarding the military after this. One of the bad things is that these service men and women can’t say no to some of this stuff at risk of defying orders.

Good news, for it is wonderful, what prayers and ones body can do.
To me it is amazing that hearts will heal, Bill’s heart wall split and if it had burst the skin, that would have been the end...all due to faulty equipment on the company truck.
He laid for months and took 2 years to heal, but it did and he lived over 20 years.
