Here’s an update today from Zola’s wife, Sandra:
He had a very good day today. He walked up and down the hall twice, so far. He should walk once more. And he felt good! Praise God. We are feeling the prayers.
Zola will probably not be released to go home until after Thursday, August 4. His strength remains good but they want to keep an eye on him a bit longer. Please continue praying for his speedy recovery.
Zola continues to do very well. Here’s a photo from his hospital bed:
Zola is out of the ICU and into his own room. The doctors are very pleased with his progress. He’s doing very well. Sandra’s doing better also. 🙂
Cards can be sent to the ministry’s PO box address. They have already received “tons” of them.
Zola came through the surgery well. The operation was about 4 1/2 hours long, from 12:30 to 5 PM. He was still asleep at 10 PM but they expected him to be up shortly. He was moving around (but didn’t appear to be in pain). He should be moved from the ICU to a regular room tomorrow (Friday).
They took two veins from his chest and one small one from his leg to use for the bypasses. They also found and repaired a small hole in his heart. When he recovers, he should have lots of new energy!
Before the surgery, Zola was in good spirits, joking with the staff.
Zola was taken into surgery around 12:30. He is expected to be out around 5 PM CT.
