Lealon Mitchell told News Center 7 that his wife’s heart is barely functioning, and her lifesaving surgery scheduled for Tuesday was delayed because of the cyberattack.
Mitchell said he hopes the operation can be done today, but they’re still unsure.
“I was really surprised, and like I said, my wife and myself really wanted to have it done and over with so we would actually know what percentage or what was blocking her heart. She may have to have stints put in because of it,” Mitchell said.
