Update on David (Erin)
David was discharged from the hospital yesterday evening and is back at home. Praise God for His goodness and thank you all for interceding for us so faithfully.
David doesn’t expect to be active on social media for a while, but he appreciates all the encouraging comments you all have made. He’s extremely tired, which is expected until his heart has time to heal.
He has a follow up appointment with the cardiologist in two weeks and we should know more then about whether he will need another surgery and what rehab will look like.
David is extremely thankful for his family, friends, and for your prayers. I asked him if there was anything else he wanted you to know.
He said, “Jesus is real and I hope everyone comes to know Him.”
This was the latest record David was working on.
It is not the full vision of what he wanted to share, is significantly edited down since he is out of commission, but he hopes you find it encouraging.

Update on David (Erin)
David remains in the intensive care unit. The cardiologist visited David yesterday and told him they observed lesions on David’s arteries while they were dealing with the major blockage on Tuesday. They were unable to do more at the time. Those will have to be addressed later. David hopes to avoid another surgery but understands it’s a possibility. He will go into cardiac rehab over the next three months.
But your prayers are being answered and he has made a lot of progress over the last 24 hours! He’s been medicated and goes in out of sleep, his blood pressure is under control, and he got up out of bed and moved around on his own.
He hopes to get transferred to a regular room soon so the kids can come see him.
He is grateful to be alive and we are in awe of the kindness and support we have received from all of you. I’ve been reading him your messages, and he feels very loved and encouraged.
I just spoke with Erin Clements and verified this Give Send Go account for the Professor and his family. I also told her I will spearhead an effort to support them in time of need.
Rachel and I have made a donation, and I am asking those of you who appreciate David and his family, and their efforts to stand in the gap for this country, to do the same.
$5, $10, or more, it doesn’t matter. All of it helps, and it will go to great lengths to help them get through this period of trial.
Thank you all for your attention to this matter and for your prayerful consideration.

Update on David:
This is Erin, David’s wife. A million thanks to everyone who has reached out with prayers and encouragement for David and our family. God is with David and we can feel the prayers of His saints and His miraculous protection.
Yesterday, David was having mild chest pains that he didn’t think were serious for about an hour, which suddenly became very severe. I was away from home, but his mom was visiting us and rushed him to the hospital, which is only a block from our house. He was taken directly into surgery where he died on the table, but the doctors shocked him back and placed one stent in an artery which was completely blocked. The doctors said it is a miracle that he’s still here with us. A few minutes longer and there would have been no hope.
He has had excellent care. He will be in the ICU for at least another day as they keep an eye on him. He had a restless night, but the pain and high blood pressure are being brought under control and he was able to sleep and eat a little bit this morning.
David has wrestled with heart issues since he was a young adult. The doctors will do follow up testing to see if he needs any further surgeries to prevent another emergency like we had yesterday. Please continue to pray for wisdom for the doctors, and for healing for David’s heart.
