Carlene Carter’s Facebook post, which included a throwback photo of her performing with Dave, hinted at the good news that everyone had been eagerly anticipating. The collaboration between Carter and Dave goes way back to 1980 when they released a duet titled “Ride Easy Baby.” This heartening update comes after Dave suffered a major cardiac arrest in late July. Cici revealed in a Facebook post at that time that Dave had briefly passed away during the incident but was revived by a nurse who performed emergency CPR. The experience left Cici in shock and believing she has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Following the cardiac arrest, Dave was admitted to the intensive care unit where he was intubated. Cici shared that Dave is currently facing challenges such as brain damage and severe memory loss. The road to recovery will be long and arduous, but the couple is grateful for the support and kindness they have received during this difficult time. Cici’s emotional message highlighted the importance of the caring individuals who have made their journey a little more bearable. The Mayo Clinic defines sudden cardiac arrest as the abrupt loss of heart function due to an irregular heartbeat, which can have serious consequences, including brain damage and even death.
