Well just got off the phone I was told his arteries and ventricles are switched which is really rare IIRC usually only the arteries are switched..

My head is spinning from all the info...I am not sure how a pace maker works but he already has wires if he needs one??Not sure how that works..

He is hooked up to SOO MANY tubes and is doing ok...

His mother almost passed out when she first seen him..

There were lots of small babies there too getting open heart surgery...

Also found out my DH uncle(he is 45) was admitted to the hospital he was having chest pains..Hospital gave him a stress test found nothing sent him home!!!
He got real bad went back to the hospital they found blockage of an artery however he didnt need to have open heart surgery they got it open with a stent it was over 90% blocked....They said he is lucky to not have had a massive heart attack..

UGH!!Did I mention DH just "lost his job"..Well he was put "on call" which means he is lucky to work 1 day a month we are basically 1 month from having to move in with family because things are so bad...

My town is soooo bad off economically right now its almost impossible to find a job...

STRESS!   

Misi - Hang in there!  Big Hugs to YOU!  ... Remember, it does no good to stress yourself out about things that you have no control over ... do what you can to keep your stress level to a minimum to keep yourself healthy!  Keep the faith that everything is in "Divine Order" and that you will have the strength to see every situation through ....  Challenges are not necessarily your enemy ... they allow us to dig deep inside ourselves and see what we are made of and perhaps what we have to offer to others ... I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers ...

Thank You Invision and Sam!

I know I must keep my head up sometimes its so hard..We will manage we always do..DH cannot collect unemployment but at least we have somewhere to go if need be...

It just always seems to be something...

Thanks so much for letting me vent sometimes thats all that I need ~~someone to listen to me~~

Monkeys....keep the faith in you and others you can get through this.   I asked my 94 1/2 mom how she got through WW!,the Depression, WW! et al....she said  "We didn't have television" Asked what she meant.."Don't have to see it over and over; it's bad for you (as an adult) and children.

Keep loving, talk things over with each other, take pictures, know there are those who have more than and less than you

You are here now at the stage in life and you know it wasn't always easy. Maybe the coming might be more humble times.... but you have it in you to know how to get back to where you are now and even better because you have done it before and can learn from all the good things that got you and learn from the mistakes then grow and go for whatever it will be in a few months. If you aren't healthy, then you can answer to door when opportunity knocks.

Coffee 'shrinks women's breasts'   

Last Update: 10/23 12:26 pm
Scientists have discovered that drinking just three cups of coffee a day can make women's breasts shrink.

According to Swedish researchers who surveyed nearly 300 women, three cups a day was enough to start making breasts shrink, with the effects increasing for every cup drunk.

Experts say there is a clear link between drinking coffee and smaller breasts as around half of all women possess a gene that has been shown to link breast size to coffee intake.

"Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size. Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight. They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear," says Helena Jernstroem, a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University in Sweden

Reason to proofread
To:

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years before. Because of hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.
So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday,
with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel, and unlike years ago, there was a
computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,
and without noticing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile...somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
after suffering a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email,
expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the
first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
And they glanced up and saw the computer screen which read:



To: My Loving Wife

Date: Thursday, October 13, 2004

Subject: I have arrived!



Dearest Love:

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have computers here
now, and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I have
just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow, and look forward to seeing you
then.
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
PS Sure is freaking hot down here!

OHMYGAWD!!  this is a hoot!  I have to send it to some friends!  LOL
