Tim Needs Your Support!
My father, Tim Payne, is just 54-year-old but 10 years ago he was diagnosed with chronic heart failure (CHF). As his illness progressed it became apparent that he would need a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted to control any abnormal heart rhythms of his heart. However, his health continued to decline and, about eight months ago, Tim’s doctors told us he was in the end stage of heart failure. He was then admitted into University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to get an LVAD, a device that is considered a bridge to transplantation. He spent two months in the hospital and is now on the transplant waiting list for a new heart.
Tim is very outgoing so to see him down is heartbreaking. He loves to make people laugh; he’s always joking around. He can always find something positive even in the hardest of times. Tim is a Christian man who knows God will take care of him and his family. My parents have been married now for 18 years, they have seven kids total and four wonderful grandkids. He continues to work everyday but knows when he is blessed with this gift of life – his new heart – he will be required to take many months off to heal post-transplant.
