This past Monday January 18th, Jeff collapsed and had a heart attack. His heart went into arrest, and his wife Lora preformed CPR on him, saving his life. The parametics had to shock him twice.. He was taken to Samaritan Hospital, and about 45 minutes later was life flighted to Grant Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. On Monday evening they began a hypothermia/ cooling treatment to prevent any brain damage that may have previously may have happened from the heart arrest. Tuesday afternoon they began the warming of his body process which took about 6 hours, they also began go to give him nutrition that night. Wednesday morning the kidney doctor came in to tell us that he had some damage to the kidneys from them shocking him, which usually happens. The doctor said that the main thing we need to focus on is his heart, and the kidneys we will handle later. Wednesday afternoon, was super exciting! For about an hour off and on, his eyes were open, he was answering yes and no to us, he squeezed our hands, wiggled his toes and even gave us a thumbs up!! All of his levels were looking great, and it was one good thing after another. Thursday morning we were told that he may have to be put on kidney dialysis temporarily to strengthen them. At 4:30 on Thursday he had his heart cath. His results came back as a weak heart muscle. He doesn't have an blockage in the heart. However, he will need to have a defibulator. He will also have to be on medication to strenghten his heart. Friday morning, the doctors started a process called Laxis Strips. Dad had fluid in his lungs and they want to get rid of the fluid. Also, he may need to be put on a kidney dialysis. We are SO SO SO thankful for everyone and their thoughts and prayers during this time! We will continue to put updates on. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.
Love,
Lora, Brittany and Whitney Hardman
