David’s Story

Site created on January 29, 2022

Thank you for visiting this page about David Larson, his journey and recovery. Chances are if you are visiting this page you are a friend or family member of David. Chances are you also likely know the past 6 months have been less than smooth for him. While he was on the road to final recovery from his foot injury he ran into a bit of a road block. David was taken to Lakeside ER on  Wednesday January 26th, 2022. He tested positive for Covid and was actively having a heart attack. He was immediately taken to surgery for a heart cath. It was during this time they discovered that David had 3 major blockages. 90% in one, 70% in two others. It was determined he would need to have triple bypass surgery (possibly quadruple) at Bergan Medical. Because he is Covid positive,  his cardiac numbers are "good" and he wasn’t  experiencing chest pain,  doctors/surgeons thought it would be best for his body to recover from Covid  at Lakeside before operating with a live infection. On Saturday January 29, 2022 David developed some chest pain and was feeling "off", it was at this time doctors decided to transfer him to Bergan Medical in the event things took a turn for the worst.  Sunday January 30, 2022, David took a Covid test and was still positive. Monday January 31, 2022 David again tested positive for Covid however doctors and surgeons have now decided there is a greater need to fix his heart and get him onto the road to recovery. They have now upgraded him to a quintuple (5) bypass surgery.  Surgery is currently scheduled for Tuesday February 1, 2022. Please keep David and his family in your thoughts and prayers. He will have a long road ahead of him.  We will do our best to update as often as possible. Thank you!! 

Newest Update

Journal entry by Misty Larson

Good Morning! It Certainly has been a whirlwind here at the Larson Ranch, So I apologize for the delay on updating everyone. First and Foremost, Crock and our family are very Thankful for you guys. Your Prayers, Texts, emails, FB messages, meals, cards and Monetary donations have NOT gone unnoticed. 

Most of you may or May not know, David, (Crock) came home on the evening of Feb 6th, after a 12 day stay in the hospital.  He Amazes me everyday with his strength and determination. Everyday is better than the day before.  Unfortunately with his Type 1 diabetes it complicates a Quadruple Bypass Surgery Recovery, BUT don't let that fool you. David knows what he needs to do everyday to continue to get better.  He has started his Cardiac Rehab and does this every M-W-F. He continues to have appointments almost daily. He really enjoys riding in the backseat of his own Truck and having his wife (MISS DAISY) drive him around. 
As David continues his Recovery we ask that you still lift our family in Prayer.  His next stop  is his Follow-up Cardiology appointment next week. I will try to be better about a few updates here and there.

Again, Thank you!
Much Love, Misty
