CuriousLady...

If I may offer a word or two of encouragement and comfort....

"May a warm sun grace your face and gentle breezes be at your back during your days of worry and concern...."

You and others will be in my prayers today and often.

I feel I should say something, but I never know what to say in times like this (sorry if i sound insensitive, I really do care). Im not a religious man, but if I were I would pray for cc. I wish cc best and hope he is back on his feet again soon with no further problems.

((((((((( cl ))))))))) ((((((((((( cl )))))))))))) one for you and one to pass on to colin. I'll be keeping all of you in my thoughts.

He's young, the odds are in his favor. A tough road ahead, tho, and we're all here for you.

I hope that he will get well and they can figure what caused his heart to act up--there are all kinds of things it could be--they are pretty good at figuring such things out and correcting them these days.

just an update on colin......yes he did have a heart attack....his vital signs today are really good....he is listed as stable....they did a brain wave test today and there is activity there....so that is a good thing....they had to wake him for that and needless to say that he wasnt happy...so they had to restrain him...tomorrow maybe they will try again to wake him.....im not lookin forward to that cause it looks like he is going to be very adjatated (please forgive the spelling) and that will be hard on me and his son..but we need to be there....so in all i guess today was a good day...nothing but good news for us....need to take it one day at a time....

Also i just want to thank everyone...for everything...it means alot to me..and it will to colin when he comes home

We are so sorry to hear of Colin's heart attack, but sounds like he was tough enough to make it through and will soon be on the road to recovery. Luck was on his side and we will pray for his continued recovery. :angel: Hugs to you both! :grouphug:

I understand the part of waking them. My dad was in a induced coma and each time they let him wake a little he would get VERY agitated and just move his head back and forth going nuts. With a ventilator in it's not good and they want to try and pull it out. It's hard to watch and you know they are in pain. It will get better!

another update...colin isnt doing too bad... just a few problems with memory and sleeping....not sure how much of it is cause of the meds....he is going to have an angiogram on monday or tuesday.....we will see from that what damage was done to his heart........and take it from there.....he should be out of icu in the next couple of days.....yes i am trying to take care of myself but it hard not to be with him all the time..i feel so useless if i am not there...so i gonna try going back to work tomorrow...not my regular schedual but its a start....as long as his parents are here i might as well .....just taking one day at a time....

I am so sorry to hear about this, (I don't know how I missed it earlier)

I had a heart attack myself last July. I am also 42. So I have some measure of understanding of what you have been and are going through.

My episode wasn't nearly as severe, and I have seemingly made a full recovery. Hopefully your husband will too.

The fastest way to see that happen, is to just do what you already are doing. Love him. Think only positive thoughts, and know that you are loved by the people in this community.

Hold tight in the face of adversity, remain confident of positive outcome.

Hey CL, 1st thanx for all your effort to keep us informed about Colin, knowing all the emotions that you have been dealing with. And yes, I am so happy that each day has been a positive step forward so far. Please feel the love of those who know and care about both of you. You are doing it all right at this point and please make sure you do not make yourself sick. Give that big hunk a hug for me and let him know we are with him here a day at a time as well.

well one more day and we breath a little easier....he had his angiogram today...no surgery is required....yay!!!!!!!!!!!! no blockages or anything that they can see....the only thing he might need and they still not sure yet if they are going to do it is insert something into his chest like a pace maker....not sure of the word for it but it is basically like a defib...and will shock him if he needs it...he hopes to be home in a couple of days but i dont think so yet...he hasnt been out of bed except to sit in a chair...so we will see :tongue: :)

Glad to hear he is well on the mend--I hope he gets one of those MedTronic internal defrib units--they were the ones who created them so they know what they are doing--that company makes some great products--and they do save countless lives each year thanks to their breakthroughs in such medical devices--many designed for cardiac patients---

Best wishes and hope he comes home and gets back to living his life---
