MARCH 28 - 8:00 PM UPDATE ON LINDELL COOLEY
FROM PASTOR JOHN KILPATRICK:
I have been in contact with Lindell. As you can read in the statement below from Dr. Maldonado, Lindell will undergo surgery tomorrow. It will be a crucial day. Please continue to intercede for him and his family. We are believing for no complications or lasting effects and for a quick recovery.
FROM DR. MALDONADO:
Church family and friends,
Lindell’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. It is still needed based on a repeat echocardiogram performed today, which confirmed that the leaky mitral valve needs to be replaced. The medical team has been amazing, and Lindell has become a bit of a celebrity on the cardiology ward, in typical Lindell fashion! They have been working hard at optimizing him for the surgery and were able to get rid of the extra fluid he had accumulated over the past few months, which was responsible in large part for his general feelings of fatigue and shortness of breath. I had a chance to discuss his case with both surgeons who will be operating on him tomorrow, and both are optimistic. I know them well, and they are phenomenal. It is good to know that there is a clear technical solution to the problems he’s been experiencing. Please continue to pray for Lindell, the surgeons, and their team for a successful and uneventful surgery. This is still a major deal, and he needs all the spiritual support he can get. Please pray for peace, trust, comfort, and protection tomorrow and the days to come for him, as well as for Amber, Sam, and Isaac.
