Update from Spence

Hey everyone. First I want to say thank you for all your prayers and overwhelming support. It has meant the world to me and my family. Now, for an UPDATE.... I have been temporarily released from Saint Thomas Hospital this evening. I have to wear what is called a "Life Vest". In case I go into cardiac arrest, if will shock me (hopefully) back to life. The plan at present is to install a biventricular pacemaker and difibulator. (sorry for any misspelling, these words are to big for me, lol). If this works it will get my heart working correctly, but I'm not out of the woods yet. Most hearts output 60-70% at rest, mine is pumping less than 10% which is dangerously low. As one doctor said "I can't believe you're still alive". The doctors are doing what they can do, but GOD IS IN CONTROL! there is much more consultation to be done between doctors in different states to insure the best plan of action. Please keep us in your prayers, as we don't know what the next steps are, but WE DO KNOW GOD STILL HEALS. Again, thanks for the prayers & support.
