“It was terrible,” his spouse Becky Layton mentioned. “It was onerous.”

Ed Layton was rushed to the hospital, the place he had surgical procedure to get a VAD, or ventricular help system, in any other case often known as a mechanical coronary heart pump. However, even then, he knew it wasn’t presupposed to final endlessly.

There was a guidelines of issues he would wish even for a visit down the road. The VAD and its management on his life, and that of his household’s, was a relentless presence.

Nonetheless, Layton was merely grateful to be alive.

“My emotions was, don’t repair what ain’t broke,” he mentioned. “The pump was working simply superb, principally no issues, and it lasted.”

I did final, for almost 15 years. However, again in Could, issues took a flip. Layton received a VAD an infection. And immediately he was on the trail for a coronary heart transplant. He would spend the subsequent six months principally within the hospital.

The decision lastly got here on Nov. 2, and Layton received his new coronary heart on Nov. 3.

“It’s the worst surgical procedure I’ve ever been by way of, however but it’s one of the best surgical procedure I’ve been by way of,” he mentioned.

One of many surgeons who modified his life that day was Dr. Bryan Whitson, director of thoracic transplantation at OSU Wexner Medical Heart. Layton was the 601st affected person to obtain a coronary heart transplant at Wexner, a significant milestone.

And it’s bittersweet. So the opposite a part of transplantation I all the time prefer to convey to individuals’s minds is that it is a very tragic occasion for any person else that turned out optimistic, and us simply honoring that donor and their household and what they’re going by way of, I feel, is one thing that these of us within the transplant area don’t take frivolously, and I feel Mr. Layton appreciates that as properly.”

Each Layton and his spouse most definitely do.

They each expressed gratitude for the donor and donor household and for with the ability to have a good time Thanksgiving at residence with what Layton describes as his third lease on life.

“I’ve all the time checked out it since I had my coronary heart assault, if my eyes open, it’s a lovely day,” he mentioned.
