Bless you!!! You've had such a rough day. It sure puts things in perspective

when I'm feeling sorry for myself and someone posts who had had a day like

yours!!!! I'll be praying for your husband that it's nothing serious and I

know what you mean about your child, no matter what it is, it is serious to

us as their parents. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!!!!!!!!

Oh Debbie, I am so sorry you had such a horrible day. I know what you

mean about feeling the same pain that your kids feel. I always feel extra

guilty because they wouldn't be going through the pain if I hadn't taken them

to the doctor. My head knows that is not logical, but my heart does not.

I am so sorry to hear that something might be wrong with Mike. I will be

praying for him. To those of you who have not had the good fortune to meet

Debbie (Ebbieday) and Mike, they are both wonderful people. Mike is

definitely a keeper. He was so sweet both times I have met him. This list

is the right place to ask for prayers that all will be well with him.

I am so glad that you got your packet in! That is one good thing that

happened today! You just have to hope in your heart that everything turns

out well for all of you. I will be thinking of you.. if you want to talk,

you can email me privately or call. I don't have your number, or I would

call you. Take care, and Mike and your whole family will be in my thoughts

and prayers.

Debbie- My heart goes out to you. My husband had 6 way bypass at 42 after a

near heart attack,Bad genes, obsese etc. I have a 6 year old who has had

multple health problems , several surgeries, two that were heart. Think about

how much more you will be able to help your family after you get your health

back. That is were my mind is right now. Lots of luck and it sounds like you

have a very supportive family. Kathie265 235 mni40 two more weeks for me!

ebbieday..sorry you are having such a bad day! Hopefully all will work out

with your husband. I will say a little prayer for him. Every night now when

I say my prayers I always include all my MGB friends who need a little extra

prayer!

Hope you have a better day and CONGRATS on getting your packet out. I am

working on mine and it is a long process!!

Thanks, Cathy, Deb and Kathie. It was a very emotional night around

here. Things are better today, although we still haven't heard from

the cardiologist grrrrrrrrr. I really have a problem with stuff

like this when they say they will call you that night with a problem

report, and then don't do it...

My heart's desire for having this surgery IS to regain my health and

be able to be an active participant with my family. Life has proven

to be WAY too short with all the things that have happend in the last

several months. I want each moment to be a memory.

Thanks you guys

Hi Debbie,

I have been wondering about you and your MGB progress (Debbie and I

met at Amy Poe's house on 6/24). I'm so sorry to hear about your

husband's health problems. I'm saying a prayer for Mike and your

family right now and my Charlie too.

My husband is having a heart problem right now too. He has had

congestive heart failure for about 7 years and I have noticed that

his

health has deteriorated recently. I wanted to have MGB so that I

would be able to care for him if necessary down the road. We

returned

from our vacation early because he was having so much difficulty

breathing. The doctor put him in the hospital on 8/1 and he is still

there. I believe the doctors are going to have him transferred to

s Hopkins for evaluation for a heart transplant.

He is emphatic that I go ahead and have my surgery but our doctor

says

this is not a good time and I need to wait. We have been tossing out

different ideas to make this happen but things are so complicated

right now. I need to see things settle down a bit before I can

proceed.

Best wishes for you, ebbieday, and hopefully everything will work out.

Oh ! I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I didn't think

he acted like he felt very well at Amy's. I hope he gets to feeling

better soon...this heat makes it that much harder to recover from

CHF. Keep me posted on what s Hopkins says.

Mike is having another cardiac cath either tomorrow or Friday, we're

trying to get it scheduled. His cardiologist FINALLY called last

night...turns out the stress test results were too vague for his

complaint of left arm pain, so to be on the safe side, he wants to do

a cath. He told Mike he doesn't need to cut back on activity, and in

fact, Mike is working on the local ambulance today with Dr's

approval. So it must not be too bad, we hope.

I'm proceeded with surgery, but have found it will be at least a week

before I can schedule due to the packet needing to be approved.

Makes it really hard for scheduling time off from work... :-( But I

know that God's timing is perfect. I don't LIKE it, but I know

that's true. Hopefully you can gain some peace from that too. We

get the MGB in our heads, and are full steam ahead, but we need to be

sure the timing is right. God knows what's ahead of us, we don't.

I'll be praying for your husband and you during this hard time. I

know it's exhausting.
