Folks---seems  things keep trying to slow me down in my recovery.   This past Wednesday night I have to go back in the hospital ---was in for 3 more days.  My lungs for some reason had filled with fluid.  (you would not believe it but  1.7 liter fluid in each of my lungs).   I am home again now and feeling quite well.  Hope this scenery continues.

Love all you on the guide and if any of you are praying for me please do not stop.  I am down to 134 # and have a long way to go.---

May God bless you and keep you all now and always--Will

Please do not get discouraged.  Sometimes with bypasses it is 1 step forward, 2 steps back, for a little while...but that won't last...you'll be going full steam ahead before you know it.  Did they say if there was any virus involved with the fluid in your lungs?  We'll keep saying prayers for your speedy, long-lasting recovery!

Keep your chin up Will, we love you and have faith you will recover fully!  Thanks for the update!

Hang in there my friend!   I'm sure your respiratory ailments will soon be behind you and you'll be back on the road to recovery!

At 134# it sounds like you need a few more slices of your wifes pecan pie!

You're still in our thoughts and prayers!

You have a large family supporting you in your recovery.  Just take it one day at a time and don't let anything keep you down.  (Unless it's by doctors orders.)  Snowshoveler and MissSnowshoveler are routing for you.

Thanks for the encouragement----I mean I needed that.     Appreciate all your support and prayers---may God bless you and keep you--Will

Will,

God speed for a quick recovery.  You are in my prayers.

My mouth is watering for some good pecan pie 
Will, please think very hard about the good things in life and what you love to do and what needs to be done yet.  That gets me moving. 

Paula----Your statement is so true.   Just when I was coming around in my recovery, all of a sudden I could not breath.  Luckily I had a good personal Doctor that recognized the symptoms, told me my Lungs were full of fluid.  Sent me back to the hospital and 3 days later I was doing fine again. My heart doctor gave me a good report today---been 3 and  a half weeks since my operation.  All looks well so maybe I have come further than I thought.  All of you keep praying for me and we will be talking later.----May the God of this world  watch over you and your family, now and always--Will

Your well wishes and prayers mean the world!  And I will continue my prayers for you and your family. 

I saw my grandpa who was 82 when he had a quadruple bypass along with a new heart valve and who you remind me of....very active, on the go, always finding something to be done outside, couldn't sit still if he was thumbtacked down, etc.  and that is how it went for him....but, like you, when he made strides, he really made strides!  And he felt better than he had in years when he was done with his recovery period.  I may have mentioned before but if I didn't....he was back to snowblowing his 1/4 mile driveway and shoveling 2 sets of very long steps and was madder'n a hornet when his son offered to help!  LOL

You guys are made of leather Will....the rest of us are a bunch of softies in comparison! 

Be well, Will!  And God bless!

Hi Will!

As mentioned, you have your little OPE "family" praying & thinking about ya! Each day will find you stronger as you progress with your recovery. When you do have those bad days, attempt to think about the good days & all that life has to offer to you ahead. Keep that chin up! Hang in there my friend!
