MichiganHunter Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Well dad's doc told him he was doing OK...his heart is at like 20%. They put him in the next step down from the icu today and he seams to be responding well. He got up and walked today a bit and even walked us out to the elevator. All of us really appriceate everyones prayers.....Me and dad have been talking about making plans for when he is back up and around. We are going to go and try to find an elk outfittern in say New Mexico and see if we can get something set up and this fall (our b-days are sep 29 and 30 so back to back) and we are going to go on a boar hunt on a ranch here in Michigan. Just trying to set stuff up to make him not think of what is going on. I wanted to pass this info out. Dad was having signs of heart burn and indigestion. The doctor wanted us to tell every one that if you have these symptoms and they dont go away after a day and you have taken over the counter stuff....YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL...it's a must...take care of your selfs people are counting on you.

The_Kat Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Glad to hear he is doing better.......dads are tough ole birds. I'll keep praying for his recovery and those hunts sound like a blast. If he's anything like my ole man you'll have to get harsh with him to take it easy when he gets home. Heck dad is rebuilding his dang motorcycle already lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 That's good news, praise the Lord. Dad was having signs of heart burn and indigestion. The doctor wanted us to tell every one that if you have these symptoms and they dont go away after a day and you have taken over the counter stuff....YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL...it's a must.. Geesh...You've got me worried now. I've been having some real heartburn problems lately. I thought it was just plain ol' acid reflux. I have Tums beside my bed, and reach for them whenever I need a couple in the middle of the night. No pains in the chest, mind you..just plain ol' heartburn.

DocMort Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Good to hear your dad is on the mend, hopefully he will be back to 100 percent and you can enjoy your elk hunting trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I don't even think I'd wait a day to go to the hospital..... Glad to hear your dad is making it along in recovery...it'll take some time. Make sure he keeps up on his rehab! Hey Buckee, what do you eat/drink? Do the Tums take care of the heartburn when you take them? Was this something that started recently or have you had it before? Depending on what you consume...maye be giving you heartburn...could have a small ulcer of sorts...May want to see the Dr. to play it safe...

PotashRLS Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Keeping his mind on the positive is a great thing to do. R&R is what he needs now. Hopefully he didn't kill off too much of his heart muscle by waiting. Continued prayers. Heart muscle doesn't grow back so be forewarned all you "acid reflux, heartburn, it'll go away by morning" folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I missed the original post on this too, but I'm glad to hear he is doing better! I hope you and your dad are both doing okay, I know it's probably really hard for both of you. It's VERY good to hear he's up and walking around -- that's a big step! I hope he continues to get stronger every day Just try to stay optimistic, that's all both of you can do, but it sounds like he's on the road to recovery!
