Thoughts and Prayers for T.D.B.

[whfan74 2,071]

Guys if you have not clicked on the chat room topic you may have missed this. Teddy's wife has been in the hospital for 11 days, and she had surgery yesterday.

There is a little more info there.

TDB I hope you don't mind me posting this. I have come to appreciate the fact that others on this forum are so caring when a friend is in need of support.

Please keep us posted.....our thoughts are with you, your wife, and family.

TDB's wife has been in my prayers for a few days now.. I hope she recovers soon, and gets to come home, I know how waiting in the hospital can really suck the life and hope outta ya..

[Teddy da Bear 11]

Thanks guys.......this posting you have really has lifted my spirits.

My wife came out of surgery about 8pm last night.

It was more involved than we thought it would be.

She was in very sad shape.....worse than the two surgeries

she had before... Seems like that has been the pattern

of our life together. Our second date was in the hospital.

My mother and father in law had 11 other children to look

after (they're Amish). And asked ME to stay over the first

night at the hospital and watch their daughter.... You can

imagine it was love after that....lol

This morning she was very groggy....but seemed better than

last night. I am still worried because they cannot get her

blood pressure up even with those pressure socks.

It was 84 over 45

You can imagine.....I am no housekeeper.....and things are

really.....ummm...well you know....here at home.

Wow...I have a new respect for her as a housekeeper.

But I don't want her to come home to work....so I am going

to get this place in shape.... It is just hard to be here and there

at the same time...

She will be in the hospital for 5 to 6 more days to make sure

that her insides are working correctly. Guess we spent our

second date on the 4th of July in the hospital so many years

ago....now we will spend Valentine's Day in the hospital this

saturday.

Thanks so much guys.

Thanks everyone....

Kathy (my wife) got up and walked this morning.

You could not blow me out of that bed with dynamite if I

had gone through that.

We went round the 12th floor 3 times... Then this afternoon

we went around 4 times... It is necessary to get things moving

in her.

At times...when all the patients are out at the same time...it looks

like one of those slowwww races....lol

I am reminded of a Chinese proverb that I hope will apply for

our life. It says "It does not rain every day". Which means there

will be good days and bad.....take them in stride. Cherish the

good ones.

Thanks again..... Thank God for friends.

Now that's Da Bear we've come to love - faced with adversity you can still find humor!

Hope Kathy's recovery is swift and complete. We're praying for her!

Duff and Sandy :whistle:

Teddy, if we weren't all so spread out across the eastern US, we would get a field trip organized, and clean your house for you. Sure enough, I would. Anyways, I am praying for you, your wife, and your family. Blessings to you.

[stevasaurus 23,274]

my prayers with you both...

[Teddy da Bear 11]

OMG! You guys are the best!

Blood pressure came up!!!!

Hey.....I am going to the hospital and plug in my laptop

and let Kathy see the great thoughts and wishes posted here.

Knowing her.....this will really touch her...

The next post you see might be from Mrs. da Bear.....lol

Clean my house? OMG.......no way! Thanks for the offer...

but wow....that would be embarrasing for other people to

see all this....lol I hate to admit to this...but we still have

our Christmas tree up! There just has been one

thing after another come up... oh well...

I mopped the kitchen floor this morning until Kathy called

me from the hospital and wondered if I could help her

wash up and take a walk......so off I went.

Hey how about restoring a horse for me? lol

Like that extreme makeover show... :dunno:

I hope the dancing bananas aren't taken wrong....blood presure's up. I have been through alot with my mom...she's bionic..both hips..quadrupal bypass etc. I know the hospital staff on a first name basis. I just think that sometimes a smile and if it doesn't hurt to laugh, it is the best medicine. Still my prayers.

If my mom lived near the railroad tracks, there would be a notch in her mailbox,

The hobo's would know where to stop for a meal. You seem like that kind of person.

[pond195520032003 27]

TDB, i hope she has a quick recovery and will be back to your home soon i know what its like when a family member is in the hospital a while take care of your selves :whistle:

[MaineDad 87]

Slow and steady and a hopefully speedy recovery!

[Teddy da Bear 11]

Thanks so much guys....

Sorry Mrs. da Bear could not type.....

But she really loved the thoughts and prayers....

She did not have such a good day today....seemed

to be a lot more pain. Nurses say things look pretty

good. But have not seen the doctor in two days.

He claims to have been in yesterday at noon....but

wife never saw him.

Her "system" is still not responding....but that is not

out of the ordinary......if it hasn't by tomarow....I will

get a little more nervous.

Thanks everyone!

[Buzz 502]

Keep us posted on her recovery, your Red Square family cares. As John Donne said "No man is an island............"

[Teddy da Bear 11]

Wife is still about the same...

Her system is still not responding....so I am getting nervous.

She needed a unit of blood today as her count was down.

Sure wish I could catch that doctor,

I wrote a bunch of questions down for him and hope he

will take time to answer them if he comes in after hours.

Thanks for caring.......we can definately feel that.

[KyBlue 655]

Still got my fingers crossed and of course still sending out prayers for a quick and full recovery for the Mrs..

[sorekiwi 761]

Still thinking about you both TDB.

I spent a month in the waiting room of Critical Care once, so I know its no fun.

Stay strong, Mrs da Bear needs you!

[bustedglass 1]

TDB - I have not been on the site in a while, what with the ice storm here, no electricity for a week, trees and limbs everywhere, and I had to put my Mom in the hospital this week, I have been busy .

I was in the hospital this past October for 17 days. I was in a coma, and on a ventalator for 7 of those days. The doctors told my wife on 2 seperate occasions that I might not pull thru. But, with a LOT of prayers, and by the grace of God - here I am.

With that being said, I BELIEVE in prayer, and I am sending all of my thoughts and prayers your way for your wife and for you ................

Hang in there buddy, she will be fine soon .
