In conjunction with Lincoln's Birthday I had planned on doing the first of at least a few posts celebrating his 200th. This changed last Thursday when I rushed to my parent's house following a frantic call from my Mother. My Father had not only collapsed but stopped breathing. The 911 operator talked my Mom through CPR, That is after Mom (100lbs soaking wet) got Dad (200+ a little) onto the floor from a chair. The "sweet" little lady that saved her Husband with CPR quickly became the talk of ICU. Things are looking up as he was released to the step down unit next to ICU today. It turned out Dad has a large blood clot in his right lung and three smaller ones in his left. Needless to say the Docs are amazed that he survived at all. He's not totally out of the woods yet but each day is more promising. Dad is still trying to process that Mom got his heart going again until the Fire Department and Paramedics arrived. My wife always says of my Mom that dynamite comes in small packages. She's right.

Thanks guys. My Father is doing better.

I seem to have become Gordy's "test" subject for this NEW feature of Pf. There are some great possibilities here. ~Gary

All our moms are heroes in my book! But your's...Is just a world beater, man! Your dad is a very, very lucky man. But I'm sure he already knows that.

All the best,
Dan

Your Dad's a very lucky man. I'm pleased to hear he's recovering.
