UPDATED: Prayers for Labgrade's son...

[Felonious Monk]

Prayers sent up for the young fella.
And also for a speedy recovery and peace and comfort beyond all understanding...

 

[mrsMTN]

And from us, as well.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Sending my thoughts and prayers to Labgrade's stepson. May God bless and keep his family.

 

[Chugach]

Yes, and continuing...

 

[Penman]

Prayers for a successful operation and a quick recovery.

[Jim V]

Dear Lord, help Labgrade's stepson through his operation, and be with the family at this time and give them peace.

Amen.

 

[Neal Bloom]

Labgrade, his family and son will be in our thoughts and prayers.

 

[Preacherman]

PLEASE SEE UPDATE ON LABGRADE'S SON'S CONDITION IN OPENING POST OF THIS THREAD. THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS - KEEP THEM COMING!

 

[Blackhawk]

Preacherman, are you going to post the next update here or in another thread?

 

[Preacherman]

Blackhawk, I'll post any and all updates in the first post on this thread, and add a post at the bottom of the list pointing readers back to the first post, as I just did. When Labgrade logs on (hopefully later today or tomorrow - he's pretty exhausted! I told him to get some sleep...) he will tell us more, either as a new post in this thread, or in a new thread if he so chooses. I'd rather keep everything in one thread for ease of reference, myself.

Thanks, everyone, for the prayers. Keep 'em coming!

 

[Monkeyleg]

Labgrade, my every prayer is with your son and you and your family. May your son come through this to be even stronger.

 

[Greg L]

Done for both sets of families.

Consider it done.

 

[ruger357]

Will continue to get mine. God bless.

I know of a couple of people in my area who have had heart transplants, and one of them is a very young man. Best wishes to all the families involved, and I hope that one day Labgrade's sone can meet the donor's family to thank them in person. This is truly a season of miracles.

I have witnessesd the donors

Thoughts and prayers to the family of the donor

 

[labgrade]

Up about 36 hours & just home. A bit fried.

Preacherman covered it pretty well.

A donor from Wyoming last night, a call, a frantic drive, a long wait & a wonderfully successful transplant this morning.

New heart seemed to be rarin' to go go (if I can be so crude) with Shane. Turned on & tickin' like they were made for each other - perhaps they were.

Unbelieveable joy at our good fortune, a very deep sadness for the donor's family. The two, by all accounts, can never meet - just isn't done except for a thank you letter written by Shane's to theirs. No names appears to be the watchword for these things.

Can't tell y'all how appreciative I am (The Wife's a bit teary just now at y'all's out-pouring of love & kindness).

Thank you. We're certain your prayers helped immensely.

Some much needed rest & back tomorrow AM. Should be alert enough to grimace.

Will keep y'all posted.

Labgrade,

Do ya'll need anything? I know that you will be spending time at the hospital and will miss out on dinners and such. Im in Colorado Springs and can cook stuff and bring it up or whatever you guys need. Anything else I can do, just let me know...

[George Hill]

My prayers are with them.

If they need anything, let us know.

 

[Dan Morris]

All of you, walk with God! May he be with all.

[labgrade]

Stetson_CO, I don't think so right now.

A Son, on the way to being healthy, (Ta-Dah! ) is A Gift - kinda transends everything else.

We're good far as stuff goes. Shane's Mom (The Wife - a Stout & Hearty Lass to rival any here) & his wife's mom is on-hand, I'm there in a big way & we've a couple other support-types. Did I mention Shane's Wife? A Wonder in her own right.

I really appreciate your offer, but do think we're covered.

We're a small-knit group, but tight & pretty hearty. I'm the weak link. The Women-folk are The Hard-Cores here.

Think we've got the logistics down fairly well & we will call if needed ( a PM couldn't hurt )

Frankly, from the prayers from y'all & those from some other conects, I do b'lieve we're covered quite well.

Under A Blanket, if you will.

(kinda funny how 36 well-beat hrs can turn into 38 - & still, the tiredness turns to more of an energy ..... )

Sleepless in Loveland,

AA

 

[PATH]

In my prayers. Praying for a speedy recovery,

 

[grampster]

Labgrade, I remember your post when you first asked for prayers over at TFL. I asked the father to be strong in your heart and he has been faithful. He never fails us. Stay in the faith.

[Calamity Jane]

Thanks for your update, Preacherman, and labgrade, it's so good to hear that things are going well. My prayers for your son are continuing. And remember, God's arms are around you all.

My Prayers

Having underwent bypass surgery in '99, I can sympathize with what he must be going through. My thoughts and prayers to both recipient and donor families.
