Grandpa's Pacemaker

This morning Uncle Tom was walking with Grandpa Dixon and noticed he was going very slowly. A visit to the hospital revealed Grandpa's heart rate was only 30 beats per minute.

The doctor has implanted a pacemaker into Dad's shoulder and he is doing fine. He is expected to come home from the hospital tomorrow (Thursday).

We are grateful that Tom was with Grandpa (Tom has Spring vacation from teaching this week) and that everything is fine now. Your prayers for Grandpa would be appreciated.

Love,

Oma and Opa.

Thanks for the update. I'm so glad he's okay.
Do you have an email address for Grandpa, and if you do, does he check it?

Yes we do. It is dwightrd@gmail.com. He does check it. If you email him you may want to do it in a larger font than normal. Thanks!
