Our good friend and active JOL member is undergoing open heart surgery tomorrow morning at Emory replacing his aortic valve. He was diagnosed in December with aortic stenosis. The doctors intended to monitor the condition for a while but a “episode” brought on by taking the stairs in the parking deck after the ATL United game last weekend removed any doubts and accelerated the timeline. Ray is a good guy, enjoys the banter on JOL, genuine faith in Jesus and loves the Jackets. While this surgery has become “routine”, as they say, how rapidly this has played out has been unnerving for he and his wife. Thanks for the thoughts & prayers.
