Prayers needed for Brooklyn's (JustBrooke) father. Please pray.

Thinking of Brooklyn and family, sending heaps of vibes still.

Keeping holda hands and giving them the strength we all have - thanks Bill - please tell Babbling we love her when you txt/spk to her and let her know we're thinking of her.

Hoping MaMaBabbling will be able to get some sleep - must be terribly hard for all of them - she must be so tired, love her.

Hugs to you too Bill - you really have been great keeping us posted and letting Brooklyn know that we're here with her. Good on ya!

Still here for you.

Still praying Brooke - Thanks Bill.

Thank you very much for the prayers and/or well-wishes.

This is just another little "blip" in the road to recovery. This too, shall pass.

There are options to help him with this accelerated heart rate. What they have been doing this is week is taking the road of least resistance, via medication. The point of origin is in the lower chamber of his heart, which does complicate things a tad because it is more dangerous, they say, to have it in the lower, rather than the upper chambers. They know they have got to get this leveled out. But at the same time, surgery is only a last minute resort at this time. As he gains strength, than it will become more viable. He is on a drug right now that they have been adjusting to get just the right fit for him. Once they have it figured out, then things will level out again and he will be fine until they can access what scar tissue is left from the heart attack. Then they can get him all fixed up again and back to more normalcy. ( How's that for faith!)

Really, for me, it's in God's hands. No matter what happens, He will give us what we need, for He never fails us. Through good times or bad times.

They had spoke about releasing him next week some time (prior of this last episode.) Now, I'm not sure. Just a day-to-day thing. Will have to see what happens. They only want to release him where he has skilled nursing care around the clock, while he continues to get stronger. They mentioned a nursing home. How do you put someone in their 50's that you love and care about, into a nursing home? I understand the need for close monitoring. I do. But what about the love? Really? He can't get that there. So, what we are doing is interviewing for in-home nursing care. Specifically male nurses. More than one, as we will need around the clock care. Cost money-wise is just huge, but very small in comparision to not bringing him home where we believe with all of our hearts, he will do better. Turns it into a small, small, SMALL price.

Funny thing about Daddy's. They're the first man you ever love and the one you trust the most.

Sorry this is so long. There was just much to tell. But do remember one thing ...... no news is good/ok news. It might be hard for me to communicate sometimes with everything going on. But you guys will be/are the first ones I turn to.


Throwing hugs all directions ... xoxo

Thanks for letting us know Brooke...take care of you too! ((Brooke))

Thank you for putting us in the picture Brooklyn, your Dad can be proud having a daughter of your calibre. (((Brooklyn)))

You're a wonder, Brooke. You and your dad and the rest of your family continue to be in my thoughts.

It appears the doctors are very good. Thanks for keeping us informed.

May God or spirits or good vibes or whatever may be out there guide the doctors in their wise course.

Continued prayers. Your faith will keep you strong.

Thinking of you and yours girlie, hoping, praying and wishing for recovery .... love you (((((Babbling's))))) x

Vibes are still making their way across the Ocean Brooklyn, thinking of you every day. Keep smiling.

I see it’s been a few days since Brooklyn’s had time to post. The angel’s daddy is still doing reasonably well, all things considered. The arrhythmia persists, but they’re controlling it better now and discussion has resumed about possibly releasing him in the not so distant future. The family is optimistic and believes they’ve lined up about half of the team of nurses that will be needed to look after him 24/7. Seems every time the prayers start rolling in; they get answered. Thanks to everyone for contributing. And know she loves you all the more for it.

Thank you for your continued well-wishes and prayers, or whatever it is that you do, it's working.

Slim updates this week because I was asked to stay out of the hospital for now and definitely away from my Dad. Not sick or anything, but one of my classmates was in Mexico for three months on our exchange program. They recently got back. So it's just precautionary because I do spend time with this person in class. No one is sick as of yet, and I really don't expect to be. Still ....while I could handle the flu just fine, my Dad could not. Sooooo precautionary measures take precedence over my moaning and groaning because I can't spend time with him.

I do talk to him everday though, via phone. Of course my Mom, too. She says that the middle of next week is what we are looking at now for his release. Lots to do between now and then to be prepared for his care.

All is well ... as well can be!

Love,
Me

Poor Brooklyn that's a tough call not being able to see and spend time with your Dad. This swine flu seems to have everybody worried so obviously you can't be to careful. Hope you'll get the all clear soon. Hugs from downunder. xx

Yes, sometimes the right thing is really tough, but this too shall pass. Dad can feel the love however it is sent to him.
