The news of the 81-year-old Edmunds' condition was first revealed by his wife, Cici Edmunds, in a July Facebook post. She revealed he suffered "a major cardiac arrest" and "died in her arms," but was revived by doctors.
Cici has now confirmed that Edmunds is doing better. She shared a post that first appeared on Carlene Carter's Facebook that read, "Dave is expected to make a full recovery and be out of the hospital soon!" Carlene added, "Some really great news we all have been waiting for."
