Update on Coach Jack Part II

I visited Jack in the hospital this evening and his spirits are good and he feels fine, however, that somewhat 'hides' his current condition. He has blockages in 6 arteries of the heart. Two are 100% blocked, another is 99% blocked, and another three have an 80% blockage. A main heart artery is open and clear which is good news. What this means is Jack will have a multiple bypass surgery on Wednesday morning. Jack will remain in the hospital for 7-10 days after surgery.
Any notes or cards for Jack can be sent via email (rostirtz@liberty.k12.mo.us) or delivered to the LHS front office in care of Coach Stirtz.
Please continue to keep Coach Jack in your thoughts and prayers.
