Hubby's (Chimpy McSmirkers) step-dad is in the hospital after suffering a
heart attack this morning. It doesn't look good. Hubby is on his way down with one of his brothers to see him. We were supposed to visit my family for Hanukkah today (he told me to go be with my family, which is the only reason I'm not with him and his).

I know I've been asking for a lot of good vibes and prayers lately (it's been a rough few months lately), but can you guys spare a few more?

Thanks.

8. I hope so. Dr's prognosis not so good (I think he said 5% chance of recovery).
He's on life support, apparently, and has suffered some brain damage.

10. I hope you get yourself over there soon.

Husbands say "go on, I'm fine" but rarely mean it.

Where are you? I'll bounce good vibes from Sugar Land immediately!

11. He went to pick up his brother, so they're riding down together. His other brother
is already down there (step-dad was visiting hubby's baby brother and his family in Raleigh,NC).

I'm honoring his and his brother's wishes by being with my family. His brother said, "Val, we'll most likely need your support in a couple of days." I knew exactly what they meant.

12. I'm an idiot. I reread my post and I sound like a bossy knowitall.
Forgive me.

I'm sending the vibes to Raleigh right now.

13. I think DUers can always honor a request for vibes! Especially in a
situation where someone's health is concerned...
Please keep us posted, and we'll hope, pray and/or vibe away, for the best!!

15. Will do. His step-dad hasn't been in the best of health, and hasn't been the same
(don't know who would, really) since he lost his wife eight years ago. I'm glad my hubby has his brothers there.

21. Thanks for all the good vibes and prayers.
Chimpy McSmirkers is back home with me tonight.

Sadly, there's nothing they could do (don't want to go into all the details..just to say there's a living will and his wishes are being honored).

Thanks for again for the prayers.
