Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the continued prayers. I appreciate it so very much! Means a lot to have good folks praying that care about me and my situation. Sorry haven’t been real active lately just busy with the holidays.
Here is the update for the prayer warriors on the outcome of my cardiologist appointment. I feel great, and have been cleared to fish. Sadly, my appointment did not go well. My new pulmonary valve appears to be doing what my previous one did - narrowing most likely because of excess scar tissue production. Doctors believe this is related to my body’s genetics and extremely rare. My pressure gradient has doubled in 6 weeks and now borders the numbers necessary to recommend another valve replacement in the cath lab.
I am devastated to receive this news, but I know God is in control. I am very anxious because I am not sure what this means for a long term fix. Doctors are saying if my pressure gradient gets worse, we will try to place a stented valve in the cath lab. The stented valve should theoretically keep the conduit open. That was the route we were pursuing in September, but my valve had shrank too much to allow safe placement via cath lab. That is what necessitated my second open heart surgery in October of this year.
I ask for prayer that my valve will not get worse and necessitate another intervention. It would be great if my numbers would stay where they are! Please pray if intervention is required, it can be performed in the cath lab successfully so I won’t have to endure a third open heart surgery anytime soon. Please pray for good outcome when I go back for another checkup in 6 weeks on January 31st to reevaluate. Thank you prayer warriors!!
PS - when I get out on the boat and catch some fish you guys will get a full write up. Thanks everyone!!
God bless,

Man, that is some harrowing news to get. Prayers brother. Hopefully nothing else will need to be done. That being said, the stint would be easier to do than another valve for sure. Praying you wont need either and no more narrowing.
Thank you for the update...
Oh man hate to hear that but there is a plan for you and God is in control. Have faith and stay strong. Continued prayers for you
Wow, was hoping to here nothing but cheerful news. Praying in Jesus name for the best outcome. Please go fishing. God bless you Richard. +Cross+
You will be in my prayers for a minimally invasive surgery to fix it once and for all.
Please keep us posted regularly so we know your doing okay.
now get out there and catch some crappie. :biggrin

get well soon , bet them fish are up under them docks again btw
not sure as I have not been in touch with them that frequent that spot though
best go up that way and hammer them is the word
and keep in mind this about that , the colder the water , the better that way up there bite goes ....just saying
luck to ya on all your endeavors bro .....
might get to duck hunt ? think I heard about a late season thing ?
Appreciate the tips Ketchn! I need to get up that way and try to put the hammer down. With the lake level up was thinking they might be tough to get to with water level close to dock. I usually stick my long poles under the docks and vertical jig em. A trip is long overdue for sure!Quote:

Enjoy the duck hunting
Last Sunday I was fishing and went to the back of a cove and it was loaded with ducks. I’ve never seen so many as they flew off. It was impressive.
Nice! Tell them to head my way lol. It’s a sight to see when a migratory flock is moving through for sure!Quote:

First, my prayers will continue for less work and more healing without issue. I’ve been down the health road some myself and I know it’s no fun and very difficult to keep your head in the right place. I pray that you find some comfort and are able to relax and let Gods healing do its work. It was always a good feeling when I got to fish while recovering. I’m hoping you get the chance and the fish feel a little dumb that day. God Bless you brother!
Continuing to pray for you brother

Hi everyone!
I wanted to reach out and remind our prayer warriors of my upcoming cardiologist appointment next Wednesday on 1/31. May I please ask everyone to pray my heart valves are doing good and not getting worse? I ask for prayers specifically for my new pulmonary valve that has been shrinking. Please pray my numbers are stable and no further intervention is required. Thank you prayer warriors. I appreciate y’all!!
