so so touchy. . . .thanks for sharing.

He's got such a supportive wife and wonderful family. I pray he receives perfect healing!

wow. So there are marriages like these that can withstand so much pain and still stand strong. Kinda reassuring that all is not lost really and there are still mature, responsible adults left out there. Okeke's wife deserves a huge pat on the back. Looks to me like she's mixed American . . . naija-american marriages do work afterall.

God bless him and others who have supported and helped him.

We all need miracles in our lives - big and small.

My thoughts too. The media will never emphasis on marriages like this as an example of pure love and perseverance.

proud to be nigerian

Wish him well, and kudos to the wife and family !!!

And so?

remarkable. I wish him well

hey ya, but all for the better, so happy for him

Congratulation to you and your family

Congratulation to you and your family

God! This kinda made me shed tears - tears of joy for the guy, his young family, the medical team, most of all -
God Almighty for knowledge and faithfulness.

I was so touched,Thanks for sharing.I see strength,perseverance,support and so much love.I love the medical team for thinking creatively.

Iron Man - The Movie . . . this time, it turns out to be the real thingy. God'll surely see him through

@davidylan,
seconded! Okeke's wife is a dream woman for every man (errrh well, most men).

this is so amazing and incredible, !!!!

what an amazing story. the marvel of medical technology. this is only going to get better, how a huge machine has literally been transformed into a back-pack device. it won't be long before this becomes hand-held.

Life is precious.thanks for sharing

The title is supposed to read "American Man", not Nigerian. Just saying. u_u

Nonetheless, great leap in technology. Kudos to the scientists and good luck to Mr. Okeke.

Glory to God!

even if he doesnt have our Ogbono+egusi accent he is still Okeke and Okeke is Nigerian. so the title is correct

ROTFL!

what a misleading topic title.
he is the first in the[i] US[/i] to receive a portable battery operated heart. and it's part of a clinical trial.

good for him and his strong family. hope he finally gets the transplant

I hope so too.
artificial heart transplants have very high mortality rate associated with it.

Very funny and sadly true!
