Don’s Story

Site created on December 7, 2017

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.  I humbly ask for Prayers if you pray, positive thoughts if you don't pray, and if you don't pray or have positive thoughts, let me know and I will pray for you. Thank you for visiting, and if you have questions, email, call, text or use the comment area below, I will get back to you. Also if you prefer, call Diane, she always welcomes a friendly voice.

Journal entry by Don van Straaten

9:00 pm Monday,  My surgeon came by at 8:00 pm, removed the temporary pacemaker wires, I was not aware I had one. I have an arterial IV in my neck and one on the back of my left hand, both will come out tomorrow and he said if my oxygen level is good and blood labs look good, then I can go home tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes in the morning. Thanks for all the prayers and kind thoughts. Excited to go home and see Dixie.
