As a poor farmer’s wife, our mother knew what it was to rise early in the morning with a song of praise to God upon her lips and, upon retiring at night, to give thanks to God for the strength to endure. To each of you here, I would like to touch your memory of our mother. Although it is not necessary, our mother deserves a bit of commendation for the way she cooperated with her Creator.

See You In CCU A Lighthearted Tale Of My Open-Heart Surgery is the true story of open-heart surgery survivor Steve Ludwig's harrowing ordeal. Told in witty, pun-fifi lled yet poignant style, it is an inspiring account of one man's triumph over heart disease.
The youngest of nine children, Michael Downing was three when his father died — suddenly and inexplicably. No autopsy was performed. The family diagnosis was God's will. As a boy, Downing rigorously trained as a spiritual athlete, preparing to vault into heaven. But eventually he escaped the religious dogma, and the family arena — until one of his brothers died in 2003, suddenly and inexplicably. No autopsy was performed. Alarmed, Downing pursued a diagnosis: Drawn into a world of researchers, clinicians, and manufacturers with their own arcane ethics and faith, Downing discovered he had inherited a mutant protein from his father, and the first symptom would be his sudden death. To save his life, a defibrillator was hard–wired to his heart. Within weeks, he needed emergency surgery to remove the device and the life–threatening infection he got with it. Two months later, he was re–implanted — only to read in his morning newspaper that the new wires anchored to his heart were prone to failure. His device might be powerless, or it might deliver a series of unwarranted, possibly fatal, shocks. From a bedeviled boyhood in the Berkshires to a grim comedy of errors in one of Boston's best hospitals, Life with Sudden Death is a wild ride.
