Today at the Arizona state meet legend Ron Johnson after setting a new American Record in the 200 breastroke suffered a severe heart attack in the warm down pool. Thankfully the lifeguards and masters swimmer/physician Kurt Dickson and others we're able to start immediate life support until paramedics arrived and rushed him to the hospital
As of 5pm this evening all I know is that Ron had had regained consciousness, appeared to have not suffered brain damage and was breathing on his own...however he did have 5-6 clogged arteries and was going into immediate open heart surgery.....please send your prayers and thoughts this evening for his recovery....
Ron continues to show dramatic improvement......he had a pace maker installed late yesterday and was out of IC in less than 3 hours! If he continues to do this well he may be home by Monday.
And true to his nature he is already "competing"......he's set up "step" goals each time he gets out of bed......way to go Ron Jon and thanks again everyone for your positive vibes!
