Pray for IWB

WIth IWB it is never news, it is info.

IWB had what is best described as a heart attack yesterday. They needed the paddles to bring him back. He is currently stable and in the hospital. He has some battles ahead. Give him, Patty and their three kids your thoughts and prayers.

IWB has coached my son in Jr. Hilltoppers hoops.  He’s a great dude and hopefully gets better quick.

Yes.

Oh...no.  My hopes and prayers are with this man and his family.  Getting to talk to and watch some of our players during those games was fantastic.  My Nephs also had a blast getting to briefly interact  with our guys.  I really hope for the best and am sorry for his troubles.

Shocking news.   Jim is high quality.

I looked around for an update today, but nothing has been posted. 

Hope the worst is over and the issue can be fixed going forward.

Yep. After recovering from one plus open heart surgery (double bypass, a bovine valve to replace mine, and an aneurism repair-in other words, an engine rebuild) I asked my physician if I could possibly cut back on the meds. He's usually very mild mannered but he snapped at me "You're lucky you survived!" I took that as a no on the meds. The only odd thing is that when I pass a nice field of grass, I start to salivate. Go figure.

I live in a rural area and one kind is typically grown between rows of corn. Some years ago, our County Administrator was taking his turn at watering the crop ( sort of a co-op) and was busted by a Sherriff's deputy hiding in the brush. The CA had pissed someone off who knew about the crop so he ratted him out. Only the green stuff in open fields brings out the bull in me.

IWB still in hospital. He has an enlarged heart and the cardio docs cannot figure out why. He will likely need an implanted defibrillator and may end up on transplant list--though his heart is responding to meds--the first batch did not show improvement. FWIW he is getting irritated that he has to stay in the hospital so he is trending back to being his old, IWB self.
