Ghon Eckley Update

I spoke to Ghon on Tuesday morning and he is doing well. He's hoping to be released from the hospital in the next few days. Ghon and Kim have a new baby born just before the WCCC, so Kim has more than her share of "nursing" to do!

Additional Info from Kim Eckley

Today, we found out that he will be having a pacemaker installed. The decision was made since his heart is still firing abnormally, and dipped a few times overnight, requiring the external pacemaker to kick in. Better safe than sorry - the pacemaker will be installed to be a back up just in case his rate ever dips down too low. That's it for now. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we face another procedure, and possibly a delay in Ghon coming home. I'll update again after the surgery.
