    7:30 PM UPDATE ON LINDELL COOLEY'S SURGERY

    FROM PASTOR JOHN KILPATRICK:
    I have been in close contact with the family and Larry Day throughout the day. Lindell is out of surgery and is now in the cardiac ICU. Dr. Maldonado released the following statement. After reading it, you will see it was a serious surgery, but God faithfully brought Lindell through. Please continue interceding for Lindell and his family as he recovers.

    FROM DR. MALDONADO:
    Church family and friends,
    This has been a long day. Lindell is finally done with what ended up being a technically very complex surgery which took more than twice as long as anticipated. After discussing his case with the two cardiothoracic surgeons who operated on him (and a third thoracic/lung surgeon who was called in to assist, see below), it is clear that the main goal was accomplished, and that the end result is as satisfactory as it could be.

    After placing him on a machine to take over his heart function, a standard procedure in this type of surgery, they proceeded to access the heart from the right side of the chest, a preferred approach to avoid difficulties associated with having to go through tissues that have been previously operated on (the last surgery was done through an anterior approach called a sternotomy – the sternum being the breastplate – which is the typical approach for heart surgery).

    However, the prior surgery was extensive enough that it had caused dense adhesions, essentially fusing the right lung to the mediastinum, the space between both lungs that contains the heart and large vessels coming in and out of the heart. Organs are typically well separated from one another, but after surgery, these planes tend to fuse together, which makes the surgeon's work much more difficult. A third surgeon was called in to help, and eventually, they were able to access the mitral valve, which was successfully repaired.

    This, as I understand it, was nothing short of a major tour de force by the surgeons. The result is as good as one could have hoped for, though it took a lot more effort than anticipated to get there. As is often the case with these lengthy surgeries, Lindell will likely remain on the breathing machine for a day or two in the cardiac ICU. This will be a critical time, and we need to pray for prompt extubation and recovery. He is in a much better place than after his first surgery in terms of prognosis and the likelihood of recovery, but not out of the woods just yet, so please pray that no complication will occur during the next hours/days and that God will watch over his recovery process. I am very confident that God will continue to protect him and that he will finally be able to feel like himself again very soon. Pray for rest and peace for Amber and the boys.
