I just saw this: Update on Randy Travis: "Randy Travis has been under heavy sedation since undergoing brain surgery Wednesday night (7/10), to relieve pressure on his brain after suffering a stroke as a complication of congestive heart failure; he is still in critical condition but is resting comfortably, per officials at Baylor Health Care System. Travis sought emergency treatment Sunday and was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy, a disease of heart muscle in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, weakening the heart’s ability to pump blood. He was first admitted to Baylor Medical Center at McKinney, Texas, near his ranch in Tioga, Texas, where his condition was stabilized. He was then transferred to the Heart Hospital Baylor Plano in Plano, Texas, for more specialized care. Part of his treatment involved the insertion of an Impella peripheral left ventricular assist device for stabilization prior to transferring hospitals. The tiny heart pump was inserted by a standard catheterization procedure. Please keep Randy Travis, his family and all the medical staff taking care of him in our prayers. Thank you
