Michael is still heavily sedated
The doctors want him to just rest for awhile until they feel his heart has recovered to the point they can take the next step. He still has a temporary pace maker to keep his heart stable and he is now in serious condition and not critical.
Michael was asked some questions yesterday and he responded by squeezing his hand firmly. Overall, the doctors said there is improvement with Michael and he just needs to remain completely immobile to allow his heart to stabilize. They cannot do any further testing yet and will not know how much damage his heart sustained during the heart attack.
I think it would be very appropriate for us all to send Michael a card at the hospital to let him know how much we are thinking of him at this time. I am sure it would also uplift the spirits of his family during this Christmas holiday.
Information to send those cards:
Michael Badnarik
CCU room 6205
Gunderson Lutheran
1910 South Avenue
Lacrosse, WI 54601
......
Dan Gonzales, VP of CC2009, printed out, on special paper, a copy of the Articles of Freedom for President Badnarik. He has placed them in a nice binder and shipped them overnight to Michael's hospital room. This way, when Michael awakens, he will have his copy there and I am sure his heart will leap with joy.
God bless you all and may you have a Merry Christmas. May our Father in Heaven protect your families from all harm and keep them safe.
