Rim Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I kept hesitating whether to post this - I don't usually like making my private life "open to the public". But I do believe in the power of thoughts and prayers so here goes. Please send thoughts and prayers to my stepfather, Bob, who was admitted to the ICU last night after a heart attack. He's in his 70's and has been wearing a pacemaker for as long as I've known him (~15 years). Although he is still unconscious and in ICU, the doctors say he is stable.

Tedster Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hey, Rim, bro... I know...it's like a family here. When I have a crisis, I know I can count on all the fine folks here to be a sounding board. Or just a much needed source of support. Your stepdad is in my prayers. Man, it's a wonderful thing that you and your stepdad are close. And glad to hear that he's stable. Please keep us posted on how he's doing!!

Rim Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thank you all, again. I was able to catch my mom on the phone at home between her visits to the hospital. The good news is, he was concious but he doesn't like things plugged into him and kept trying to pull them off (he's slightly claustrophobic and they have him on a respirator). The nurses says he's strong, another good sign, but that's why they've sedated him with morphine so he doesn't keep trying to take things off him so he's asleep. The doctors say he will survive but my mom told me "he's in bad shape". Hopefully, the doctors are right, but I'm sure he's not looking as good as he usually is. They also said he will probably need a long hospital stay. Not sure how long. Thanks again, my online family. Not to be too sappy, but, God bless you all. - Rim aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rim Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 Things are looking better. The doctors removed the respirator from Bob Tuesday morning and he is breathing fine. He is also happier without the respirator, so they are not keeping him sedated any more. He is talking and joking around and no sign of brain damage. The doctors want to operate on his heart after he regains his strength, but we are cautiously optimistic. One step at a time. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. - Rim aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Good deal, Rim. Getting off that respirator is a plus. But, the heart is a fickle piece of machinery. I don't want to sound like a downer, but sometimes multiple heart attacks can occur...one...and then a couple of days later when things seem better, another one. And so forth. I know from experience, so, folks, don't stop your prayers just yet. I'm praying this doesn't happen. It happened to my Mom.
