A top achievement

Today I got the message from my brother Walter in Ede that his heart operation has been a success. What a relief! It was his fourth operation so he nearly got into the Guiness Book of Records. The reason for this one was that the previous one wasn’t carried out correctly. It was also performed by means of the so-called Octopus-method which means that no heart-lung machine was required. Which reduces the chance of infections etc. remarkably. We thank God that He helped him and his family to go through this ordeal. Luckily he is an optimistic type of person and with his operation experience he had much courage and showed a remarkable emotional stability before this exceptional operation. Now both his arms and legs lack a piece of arterial that had to be moved to the area around the heart. Next time (we hope there will be no next time of course) something else has to be figured out. Hopefully he will be able to play guitar again which is his favourite activity that everybody likes so much when he is around.
