Our prayers to her, as well as to Bill. Awful that both of them are facing terrible illnesses.

Best wishes to you and Becky, Bill - he shared with me a couple of weeks ago that she suffered a "freak" injury and broke her leg. As tough as that is, I hope that's the extent of it and nothing else has happened as well - they are great people who don't deserve all they've been through!

Take care, buddy!

Default Thank you, my friends

Thank you all so much. I'm so scared, as this is bad, bad news.
Becky broke her leg which we thought was healing fine. Yesterday morning she suffered a heart attack and pulmonary ambulism which is a large blood clot in her lungs.
She's at Massachusetts General Hospital in Critical condition and is in a coma and on a ventilator.
She has a 1 in 5 shot at surviving and then we have the issues of damage done while she was w/o a pulse and brought back twice.
I'm home feeding the dogs and heading back to the hospital to sleep at her side. She's had two operations already and after today's, I sat next to hear holding her hand (trying not to cry) telling her I love her.
The last time I saw Becky before this was Monday morning when we took the dogs to our favorite lake for a walk. I held her hand and told her how much I love her. The next time I saw her was 5 hours later in the hospital. She was un-responsive and so weak. I could only look at her and hold her hand saying I love you over and over again.
I'm a wreck, I'm scared.
Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It means so much to our family. You are all the best!
Your Friend,
Bill Hedin

Bill you are one of the good guys, although I know it by only reading your posts and seeing how you carry yourself.

I feel so bad for you in these troubled times. You seem to be amazingly resilient and have long ago learned to lean on your wonderful family and friends for support. Your friends here @N54 are with you!
God Bless...Brian
