Carla Kennon Kent with JJ Kent at United Regional ER.
3 hrs · Wichita Falls ·
I want to let you know about JJ. Saturday morning while he was duck hunting he started having chest pains. So he went to the hospital in Henrietta, Tx. The Doctors there thought he was having a massive heart attack and rushed him by ambulance to United Regional in Wichita Falls. He has a valve in his heart that is blocked and only allowing 5% of blood to pass through. The doctors here are going to transfer him to UT Southwestern in Dallas to have open heart surgery in the next week. We are doing the best we can and ask for your prayers. We know word would get around, but wanted to know exactly what was going on before we said anything.
Please keep us in your Prayers as we go through this tough time.

Prayers sent
My dad had a massive heart attack last year don't give up medical advances have come along way
One of the best things that was brought to us was a notebook you will be spending a lot of time at the hospital and the days will start to become a blur and sometimes doctors come very early so get a notebook and write everything down it is a big help

Just saw that JJ posted an update to his Facebook today -- thought I'd share it here below. Looks like he's doing better! Praying for a successful recovery.
I wanted to update everyone!
THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!!!!
I am currently at Parkland Hospital / UT Southwestern.
The staff here has checked me out thoroughly and have decided that I am in serious but stable condition. They have decided to schedule my surgery to be done at the UT Southwestern clinic in either Mid / Late December or first part of January.
My vital signs are normal. I just need to get surgery. After meeting with at least 12 cardiologist and surgeons they determined that I don't need sugery today or this week, but would prefer to schedule it and have it in their clinic in about 2 months.
So looks like your prayers worked! I get to duck hunt some this season and then fix the thumper!!
With - Carla Kennon Kent

Prayers must have worked guys! We were leaving Golden Corral in Sherman TX around 10:00 this morning and who should be walking in? JJ and Carla! He looks great. Carla is really showing the wear with Mother, Dad, JJ and son Brandon all in and out of the hospital in the past several weeks. Get some rest and take care of your self, girl!
