I just got further news from Bro. Beard a few minutes ago. He was hit with some different and rather shocking information by the heart doctor. He needs to have a mitral valve replacement. They will do one more test tomorrow (Tuesday, December 4) and then dismiss him to go to a heart surgeon to arrange the operation. He did not expect this. The one good thing is that if this all goes well it can prevent further heart failure. Keep him in prayer and I will keep you posted.
