In 2014, David spent five months in the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center at Brigham & Womens Hospital. He wasnt expected to live, but due to the expertise of BWH medical staff, and wonderful support and love from thoughtful relatives and friends, David received a mechanical heart pump as a destination solution. Since then he lived his life with determination and quality.

In June, 2018, at Tufts Medical Center, David had his first heart pump removed and a new on inserted. His initial Physician, Dr. Gregory Couper performed the surgery. The Tufts Hospital Staff utilized their talents and granted David wonderful care.

Acknowledgement goes to the late Heather Brown, and thanks to her children and grandchildren, for giving up their time with Heather, so she could help David. Heathers son-in-law, Andrew Rega, showed his kindness and skills by twice a week providing a medical procedure to David. Without this action David could not have continued his life.
