Oh Kidshappen I am so sorry this is happening. I want to give you hope though.With every stage in his fight with endocarditis(multiple open heart surgeries) and the many many complications that came DS battled it, We thought we had lost him because of the many many organs it affected but somehow we plowed through along with good doctors,lots of prayers and just taking it day by day . DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!Tell J's mom and DD as well,,Do not give up hope! Did they tell you which heart valve was affected? Mitral or Aortic?The other thing many many folks do not know about is giving the patient immunity,I am sure the infectious disease dr or Immunologist who are involved in his care can advise you on putting him on IVIG(this is for primary immune deficient patients) Pre and post op. Please look into it Its a high dollar product yes but Please ask about it, Takeda makes a product called Gammagard that has been around since the mid 2000's and he might be a good candidate for it. Since I have walked in the caregiver shoes I have a lot to say about this condition and if you would like help support or a shoulder I can PM you my phone number and be there for you, Sending prayers your way. Wanted to add surgery might go longer than they tell you depending on how badly the valve is damaged so go prepared. Seeing J post op will be really really difficult since this is such a major operation be mentally prepared as well.(((HUGS))) (((HUGS))) (((HUGS)))

(((Hugs))) Been in that situation. If you need any information please pm me. Praying for him especially for the 48 hours post op which will be rocky.

Whirlpool (replaced our builder grade Whirlpool)during the pandemic so there was limited options available. I love the utensil rack being on the door and the 3rd rack, Nothing else about it is good.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations Moonhawk!

If this event is spread across say 4 days can DN and Sil split the days they come? That way they can attend the event with you and you do not have to sacrifice your seat and enjoyment at all.

Congratulations!!

Kidshappen are they saying it is bacterial endocarditis? If it is that is nothing to mess around with.I unfortunately have been a caregiver and can answer any and all questions. I also want to give your dd hope since she googled all that information,The young man in my life is doing well.Please feel free to pm.

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you!

This is close to where I live.You will have a lot of options if you look a few miles beyond Grapevine. Gaylord takes reservations and you don't have to stay there. Las Colinas/valley ranch in the Irving area has a lot of Asian/Indian/Mediterranean (look at Japan house,India 101,Royal chopstix,Shwarma press,Benihana to name a few)I know the Mcd's on Lbj freeway in Las Colinas is open 24 hours year round and there is a Denny's right beside that location. Please feel free to pm me if you need any specific information.

I don't know much about your industry nor if you work for yourself or a company but have you thought of hiring an intern to help you with parts of your job?I know a few people who do this in other industries. I would also evaluate your retirement goals and work towards them while keeping your current job,Maybe with a goal in place you might be able to retire from your high paying job sooner than you might think That way you can always do something more fulfilling.

Still thinking of you,

Happy Birthday Fairfarmhand!
