This morning at about 11, as Dave was getting ready and preparing for his doctor's appointment he passed out going down stairs. Paul and BJ were there, and were able to hold him and prevent him from falling. The paramedics were called, and Dave was brought to the emergency room.

He is stabilized, alert, and aware. The doctors believe it is possible that he has pneumonia. As a result, they are now starting him on antibiotics. Also, he has a low blood count, and because of this he will be receiving a blood transfusion. There are still a number of tests that need to be run.

Currently he is being admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit at the hospital. We are not able to receive visitors, but we will be updating this blog as we get more information.

Thank you all for your continued prayers. It has been a sustaining to our whole family.

As the Lord leads you to pray, please pray for

• The effectiveness of the antibiotic
• More energy and strength for Dave
• A quick recovery and return to the house
• Dave's breathing to be less labored
