I was guild meeting last night and a friend told me that David Taylor had a very serious heart attack. Anyone know more about how he is doing and where we can send a card.

This is what David shared in his newsletter at the first of June:
In my February newsletter I explained I had hernia surgery and was taking some time off to recover. What I didn't tell you was how I was feeling afterward. My heart was 'fluttering' every day for long periods of time. At the insistence of my friend Kim Kooyers (a critical care nurse), I went for a check-up at the Heart Center here in Steamboat Springs. Making a long story short, after a 24-hour heart monitoring and a few tests over the following weeks, I was diagnosed at the end of March with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction.
I have had meetings with my cardiologist and the heart surgeon and I will be undergoing three procedures next week to keep my heart operational. I will have the obstruction removed, an artificial valve replacement, and a defibrillator implanted.
I unfortunately had to cancel my June bookings to accommodate the surgery and recovery. I won't know about the rest of my summer activities until mid-July. I'm confident that I will be up and running before my busy fall schedule kicks in. My heart surgeon has given me a 95% success rate! That is very encouraging.
Because of these health developments I am closing down my business for at least one month to concentrate on my health. I have closed my online store and am not making any future bookings until I know I'll be healthy enough to travel.
I am grateful I have so many friends who care about me. I'll be in good hands while I recover!

David's surgery went very well, and he is doing much better today. He wants to thank all of you for your concern and kind thoughts.

I wish him speedy and full recovery. That's a lot of procedures to go through; I pray for him to have strength to become stronger every day.
