Update

Sorry for not posting this sooner. It's been a little crazy around here. They say when it rains it pours and that sure has been the case around here lately. So Anna's father-in-law is doing much better, so thank you all for your prayers. He is now in a step down unit. They have put something (can't remember what it was now) in his chest in case his hear short circuts again. They are however still completly baffled by what happened, as nothing seems wrong with his heart anymore. They are trying to figure it out, but are stumped and they have some of the best heart doctors at ST Pauls. However, he has suffered some brain damage. His short term memory is poor and his behavior is really erratic. Most of the damage seems to have been in the frontal lobe. So this is hard on the family of course. If things don't improve he won't be able to drive and he won't be able to run the farm in the same way. So we are praying now that this will only be short term and that he will recover, particularly that his erratic behaviour will go away as that is the most difficult change to deal with.
