My beau's heart procedure on Monday did not go well. He is in CCU, being ventilated and sedated. The heart, already weak, stopped during the procedure. It was restarted, but is beating at a very fast rate.
If you can spare a prayer, please send it. It is so hard to be next to him, and get no response, not even an eye flutter.
I know this is off breast cancer, but you guys are family to me. Between his heart failure, and my cancers, we have the two major killers. Hopefully, he will recover. As I have said before, it is MUCH harder to be a caregiver than a patient!!!!
Hugs, Kathi

Oh, Kathi!
So sorry to hear this. You and your beau are in my thoughts. You have been through so much and it sounds like your love has, too. You both deserve health and happiness. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the very best recovery in the days to come. We are here for you. Please let us know how he's doing.

Kathi~
I will burn sage and have my Reggie sing a healing song...he performed at a Native Health Conference on Tuesday night, the words of the song send greetings, health and tranquility, and it is quite beautiful. Fast forward 5 minutes~ Reggie sang for both you and Hans. I will burn the sage within the hour.
Hugs to you, sweetie

I hope all goes better soon for him and you and my thoughts are with you. My husband had heart surgery in Sept. He's better now and back to work. Not as major as your beau's, but he had to have two surgeries within days and two stents. Blessings to you!
Hugs, MollysGma Joyce
I am thinking of you both............Good Luck Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -

I am so, so sorry to hear
I am so, so sorry to hear this. I always have all of you in my prayers but I will say an extra one for this special man in your life. I know what you mean about it being harder to be the care giver. I feel in control with my health issues but so not in control and helpless with others. You have been such a rock for all of us, I can only hope that Hans bounces back and you both have the wonderful, rich lives you deserve.

My dearest Kathi, we can not
My dearest Kathi, we can not only spare a prayer, but I will be saying the rosary. I'm so sorry to hear that it didn't go well. I wish him a speedy recovery. You are in my prayers as well for strength as it is extremely hard to be a caregiver. Hugs to you and Hans, Lili
