I was talking yesterday about my hubby

Being in the hospital. We'll he's still here and they just moved us all into the hallways. Tornado warning sirens going off and im trying to keep my hubby from running over my toes with the wheelchair. He thinks its exciting to the max. He's wheeling himself up and down the hallway and im trying to keep track of which way he goes. Its like keeping tabs on a 2 yo!

Found our today he did have a major heart attack not long after being admitted. The occlusion inthe Stent is still there, but they say he's too fragile for any kind of surgery

Being wheeled into the hallway is like being given a get out of jail card, I guess. Meanwhile I learned there's been 2 tornadoes that have touched down close to us. So far we're ok for now...

I will keep a good thought for both you and your husband. I hope this all passes quickly and things get back to normal soon.

... in bed two days with no movement. On Saturday there was a tornado that touched down close to town and they moved all the patients to the halls for a half hour or so, except me. For me they put a mattress up over the window. I really wanted into the hall after they put that mattress up.

If they put him into the hall with the rest of the kids, he must be doing better.

... I'd never heard of kids let into the ICU. I was 38. So then I really knew it was serious. I decided then that I was never going to have another heart attack, but I was going to hand out a few.

Other than a squeeky valve, my heart recovered and the last time I was in my physician's office, she told me she couldn't hear it.

Please keep us informed if it’s not too much trouble. I realize you’re gonna have other things on your mind right now, though.

Tornadoes are nothing to sneeze at. Stay safe!
