Some of you who follow me on Facebook Know that I have been dealing with heart issues for the past year. Early this December I had 4 stints placed in to open up 3 main arteries in my heart that were over 95% blocked and was told if I had waited any longer I would have had a massive heart attack within 3 months. I am currently in cardiac rehab for the next 3 months, and during this time I will be spending all my time getting back on track and healthy again, not to mention spending time with my family , which I had taken for granted until faced with the diagnosis of heart disease at such a young age of 39. I ask you to please continue to write me and send me messages concerning the issues you have at LISD schools. Teachers I am still your voice. I am just asking to allow me to use these next 3 months to heal and be with my family. Then when its time I will be back better than ever and pounding the doors at the ESC for answers. I ask that you please pray for a fast recovery. Thank you to all who have written me on Facebook. Continue to fight and as a community we will be heard. Thank You, Jason Bates
