Myron Update. Myron came been home from the hospital last week, but Tuesday night he suffered an embolism and went to the ER where he was immediately admitted. The clot travelled up from his leg, through his heart (the doctor said that if his heart had not been strong, this would have killed him) and it has lodged in one of his lungs, diminishing the capacity of that lung substantially. Yesterday he underwent an operation where a cage was inserted in his aorta to catch any further clots. He is in intensive care, and the physicians are waiting out the clots in his lung and his leg, hoping that his body will dissolve the clots without further damage. So, again, I ask you to pray for Myron.
