Subdeacon Joe Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Thanks for the updates, 4T. Prayers are, of course, continuing.
Complicated Lady Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 I'm praying for you, your wife, and the doctors intrusted with her care. Sometimes God gives us "wake up calls" to make us love our loved ones even more. Find comfort in knowing the situation is in His hands.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Glad she made it home, FR. Will keep you both in my prayers. I guess this is why the put "IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH" in the contract.
Tom Muley Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Forty, my friend, I've been thinking a lot about you and Shawna lately and glad she has made it home for the holiday. I'll continue to pray for your family and hope the new year will bring better times.
Deja Vous Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Fortys.. all I can say is there is nothing like family.. Nothing! Family is the life blood of every day, while I can be your friend and be there for you.. still I can not be family.. We all love ya a lot.. and we all know what you must feel ike, and we all want to help.. but the with all the well wishes the only thing that can fix the pain is family.... You and her.. hugs to you and to all the you and hers this Holiday season.. you are all blessed! Very cool...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 UPDATE 12-23-2011 Looks like a good Christmas after all. They shocked her at 7:30 this morning, took her off IVs by 10:00, gave her her shots and oral meds and sent her home at 3:00 this afternoon. She's tired, hurts all over from needles no end, and is a nothing-that-even-remotely-tastes-good diet. She goes for blood work ups tomorrow, Tuesday, and Friday with an in-depth evaluation. Odds ae 50/50 that this will take permanently. Thanks to God, all my friends, and to those of you I barely know, and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all. FAN-DAMN_TASTIC!!!!!! Thanks be to God - Благодарение Богу Praise be to God - Слава Богу
Guest EL NEGRO GATO #8178 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Howdy Rod, my prayers up for your misses, I pray the big guy watch over her and guide her doctors to treat her to their ability.AMEN ENG

Deadeye Doug Dalton SASS#65449L Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Forty Rod, My prayers and good wishes for both of you to enjoy this Christmas and many more, in good health and good spirits.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Forget all that carp, Forty. Concentrate on your bride. And DO NOT have her cook Christmas Dinner! Big dinner is today so the rest of the family can be here. I had to tie my wife up and put her in the closet to keep her out of the kitchen. My daughter, son-in-law, his daughter, and I did most of the cooking but Shawna managed to do the mashed spud and the sweet potatoes.
Jim Mayo, SASS # 28961 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Prayer up for y'all. Merry Christmas.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Forty Rod does enough carping for all of us.

Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Forget all that carp, Forty. Concentrate on your bride. And DO NOT have her cook Christmas Dinner! What he said. We're all just glad she is home. May God's blessings continue to be on you both, and tell her to do what the doctors say.

I had to tie my wife up and put her in the closet to keep her out of the kitchen. My daughter, son-in-law, his daughter, and I did most of the cooking but Shawna managed to do the mashed spud and the sweet potatoes. (sigh) Women! They CAN be stubborn and unreasonable, can't they? Lord love 'em. They gotta be to put up with men, I guess.
Bama Red Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 My daughter, son-in-law, his daughter, and I did most of the cooking but Shawna managed to do the mashed spud and the sweet potatoes. Real good news 4T! Glad to hear that she's home and doing some better. At least with the women doing most of the cooking, you were sure to get something edible!
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 40, Glad to see this news!!!!!! Was busy with family stuff and church yesterday, and didn't get the chance to check here. Guess you got a real good Christmas present. keep you on the list anyway.....Buck
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 Everything considered, we had a good Christmas. My wife was released from the hospital on Friday. Daughter, new son-in-law, and new granddaughter-in-law came early on Christmas eve and put together a great dinner for us. A neighbor from across the street, an older gent with no family to speak of joined us after dinner for desert. he'd been invited to join us for the meal but opted for a reunion of other Boys' Town grads in Riverside. Tons of friends, many I have never met, gave us a lot of support in he form of prayers and good wishes during my wife's illness. My son and grandson called from Las Vegas. Shawna's sisters in Okinawa and Utah and her brother in Arizona called. My sister called from Utah. Yep, everything considered, we had a good Christmas. Thanks to everyone and a happy 2012 for you all.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Posted January 24, 2012 Well it's ben over a month and she's getting along fairly well. Checkup with the cardiologist yesterday found the fibrilation is back, but not as bad as it was, and her BP is low.. He took her off the liquid restrictions, adjusted her meds (they are still drawing blood twice a week and adjusting them as they go), and set another appointment for next week. She's back at work, but not as many hours as she was, diet is a bitch (but we're coping), and she's determined to whip this thing. Doc say a pace-maker may be in her future, but it isn't time yet. Thanks again to everyone.
