I'm changin my post now since my papaw is home and feeling better now. This thread is for anyone to use and post their own requests. Lux took my post from another thread and made this a separate thread just for that reason. Please do not hesitate to make requests cause you might be surprised at the support you will get from the loungers!!




Here is my original request...
Sorry I know this is off-topic but there seem to be some religious people in here right now.

Please say a prayer for my grandfather cause my mom just called and said he just called her and she is taking him to the emergency room. He is having pains (chest, I believe). It scares me cause he had a heart attack last summer and then a 5 bypass surgery. So now I'm heading to meet them at the hospital. Thanks!

I heart my Papaw!

Comfort I'm sorry that you have this new hurdle to deal with.

Is it a large hole or small one? Are they planning on watching it for a while before deciding on surgery?

A friend at work has a 17year old son who plays all kinds of sports and he was born with a hole in his heart. They planned on closing it when he turned 12 if it hadn't closed on its own...but he was doing so well that they kept deciding to just keep watching it...he still hasn't had any surgey for his heart. Prayers are with you and sweat pea.

hug and Pray Brian. I can't even imagine facing something like that. Can you have dinner sent to their house or something so they know you're thinking of them? Or, maybe a fruit basket?

I'll keep your dad and family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry the scan results weren't better.

In my Pray and there's not a lot that you can do from 600 miles away but stay in touch with them. Maybe try RRG's ideas.

hug I don't know Brian...there's not much you Can do other than be there for them. Do you have any time off from work you can use? What about getting a webcam for him so you all can talk "face to face" and he can feel closer to you all? Did they say what his prognosis is?

Pray

i've only got about 48hrs total, and i'm going to burn 12-20 here in a few weeks going out there. realistically, i need to save that time for long weekends going out there. therein lies another problem. flying aint cheap, and the drive, by myself, would take 10 hours, more like 13 with the kids.

the webcam is not a bad idea. i'll have to look into that.

prognosis.... they're basically trying to extend his life 3-6 months at a time.

Comfort Sorry Brian. I agree with the webcam thing. You can't do much from so far away but let him know you're thinking about him and that you care.

It sucks but if you have the money, do it. When you look back I do not think you will regret spending an extra $200 on this.
