On Saturday, June 24, John was feeling like he was having a stroke. After calling the ambulance in Brookings he was given blood thinners in case of a stroke. After being transported to Sioux Falls, it was found he had an aortic dissection. Doctors preformed emergency heart surgery to repair the dissection. He is currently recovering from another surgery we had done on Tuesday at the University of Minnesota to repair his aorta. The healing process has been long and slow. He will remain in the ICU for at least a few more days. Brock and I will remain in Minneapolis for the next week. Many people have asked how they can help and this campaign is one way to do so. We are grateful for all of the support thus far and appreciate any support we may receive in the coming weeks, months, and years. Updates will be posted periodically to keep friends and family up to date.
