Default DBF Uncle
Hi Everyone - I got an email last night checking on me so I thought I better come and update everyone....

Uncle Alan made it through surgery on Tuesday fine and yesterday was sitting up & talking but the doctors are afraid his body is going to reject the pump. The pump is working but with help. DBF Mom said there were tubes & wires coming out of everywhere!

No change for me. Hands shaking, legs spasms, back tingle/prickles, legs stiffness, fatigue - wow, I sound like "wow is me!"

Thanks for thinking of me!

Char, take care of yourself - I'm glad he made it through the surgery and hope he doesn't reject the pump.....I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. I know how mentally draining all the worrying can be. I hope brighter days are ahead.

Char, I'm glad to hear DBF's Uncle made it through surgery and hope his body doesn't reject the pump. I also hope that you start to feel better soon. I'm sure all this stress is not helping.

Default Update
Well, the information that we got the other day was sorta wrong.... he did make it through the surgery fine (which is good) but they did not put in the heart pump they put in a tube to his heart and are pumping medication into his heart directly. He has a portable pump he is taking home today. His body was to weak and they did not even try the heart pump.

I am feeling better - thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them up.....
