Although I do not care for his liberal politics, the host of TV's "The 700 Club" has pulled through a heart operation thanks to the prayers of thousands of Christians. Let us add to the prayers that this fine man will recover soon to return to television.
GLORY!!
Pat Robertson, 79, on mend after heart surgery
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson underwent 10 hours of surgery to repair a heart disorder and is back in Virginia recovering, a spokesman said Monday.
"He's really doing well, recovering very quickly," spokesman Chris Roslan said of the 79-year-old founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network. "He's doing great."
Robertson, who has scaled back his official activities in recent years, was treated Aug. 19 at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital for atrial fibrillation. He was released last Thursday, Roslan said.
Robertson underwent convergent procedure, which involves cauterizing the continually beating heart muscle with heat generated by a radio frequency. The procedure is less invasive than traditional heart surgery and uses four small openings to hasten recovering time.
During the surgery, doctors also discovered an abnormally enlarged left appendage on Robertson's heart. They believe the appendage, which was removed, was the cause of Robertson's atrial fibrillation.
"Only the prayers of thousands of believing people kept me on this earth," Robertson said in a statement.
He said he expects to resume a full schedule in several weeks.
