A brief and tough update. Bruce saw his cardiologist and his heart muscle is quite damaged, only pumping about 30%. This probably caused the stroke. They're likely going to do an implant that will defib him when volume goes below a certain level, but it's just a band-aid. Eventually, he'll need a heart transplant. It's very discouraging. I don't see being able to get him out doing anything this fall and I fear for his safety. His wife's been a real cornerstone through this whole thing and she sounded like she was crumbling yesterday. I know she'll find more strength, but it's one thing after another.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. We've still got an awfully long way to go for him to have any semblance of a normal life down the road.
