George B. - Healing/Arteries

“Your arteries are obliterated” isn’t quite what you want to hear from the Cardiologist following four days of tests, numerous blood withdrawals, 24/7 heart monitoring, and an array of meds that would put skittles to shame in terms of colors. But at least I got to hear him make that comment!

For those that haven’t heard, my heart decided to take a break last Thursday night causing me to have a heart attack. Apparently it has been building up for many, many years according to all of the cardiologists. 

Waiting to hear what the next steps will be but guessing that running a marathon is out for now. Thankful for a great team in the Inova Alexandria Hospital and for the outpouring of love and prayers from my family and friends.

When all is said and done, “I’m in His hands, I’m in His hands, whatever the future holds, I’m in His hands”.

  • § The implementation of the new strategic plan that will guide the actions in corps and institutions in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay for the upcoming years.
