Ladies,

 

My Mom called and my Dad is awake after his surgery. He is doing fine. He has been moved to the ICU and will stay there for observation. I guess he is awake, and, because of the drugs, is saying some pretty waky stuff.

He's mainly concerned with missing the last CFL home game tomorrow, so he must be feeling a little bit better.

 

Francis and I will be going to see him later this afternoon.

 

We will probably be spending all weekend with my parents, so that my Mom can help my Dad, and give them company.

 

It's just so scary because once we get older, so do our parents. This year has been so hard on our family: my Mom had a run with possible cancer [luckily it wasn't] plus she was hospitalized for something, I don't know what, it was like a stroke but wasn't. Then, with me, I had my last miscarriage in Febraury, my Grandpa died, and now my Dad is sick. Lastly, Francis' Grandpa died.

 

It's been tough.

 

But, thank you everyone so much for being here for me. You have no idea how much it means to me.

 

Thanks so much.

Heather im so glad your dad got good care and is now on the mend.I think when we know there is a problem with the heart we panic even more,however ive been told by one of the radiologists i work with that heart surgery is very safe,because they are concentrating on it rather than taking there eye of the ball.My mum is waiting to go in for more tests on her heart.She has a heart murmour that wasn fixed as a child and now 20 year to late really for the best prognosis she needs surgery to close the hole.she needs to spend four days in the hospital whilst another surgeon decides if it can be done by keyhole or if she has to have open heart surgery.The thought of things going wrong often enter my head i cant imagine my mum not being around so i most defintly feel your pain.I hope your dads team win tomorrow that would speed his recovery.xx

I'm so glad to hear that things are looking up and your father's surgery went well. It's so scary when we can't do anything but wait to hear news...

Sounds like he will be okay. If they did a procedure, I'm guessing it was an ablation to zap the cells that were firing off the funny beats. If his heart rate got that low, he may need a pacer. Lots of people go through that and are fine afterwards. This is this stuff I see in my ICU a lot. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try to help. Don't worry too much, sounds like he is in good hands!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
