Hi everyone!
                     Thank u all again for all your prayers just be sure and keep em coming.  "Happy Pappy"  is doing better he is still on blood thinner and he is also taking a blood pressure medicine now. He isn't allowed to take his maxalt for his headaches because of the blood pressure medicine so they gave him prednisone to help him with that. He is still on his verapamil also. As far as everything else his speech has improved but he still has tingling in his right hand and some times he can't hold onto stuff very well he just doesn't have much strength in his hands right now. He said that his mind doesn't work very well but that those of you that know him know he was always like that....=) He goes August 19th I think it is to the heart doctor to have them look at the hole in his heart and decide what they are going to do with that....And he has cut WAY back on his smoking he used to smoke a pack and 1/2 a day and now he is on yje patch and only smoking 4-5 cig's a day and as he says not inhaling just enough to get the taste....So Johnny you might want to keep that plane ticket money handy if he gets out of control....lol well I hope everyone else is doing well and I promise to keep everyone informed of his progress....... :)

Prayers are all over clusterville for Happy Pappy.
Tell him we love him and know he will be back with us soon.
I am proud he has cut down on smoking.

Give Happy Pappy a big hug for me.

Thank you for the update, Chas!

I'm glad to hear he's on the upswing.. just tell him Pepper asked him nicely to put down the cigs - we love Tim, he's gotta give it all he's got.
