FYI

Hey as much rancor as ol' Jake gets into on this forum, we should send him some good thoughts over the next few days. His father had a heart attack while waiting in the car.

Jake was taking him to a Doctors appointment and from what I'm told EMTs had to be called in right then and there. They were going to take him to a hospital in Atlanta.

I hope all works out well. Without our health, we got nothin'

Jake, Big dittos on pauls sentiment. Hope for the best.

Wow, Jake, NOBODY needs something like that happening to them.

Tell your Dad that there are a WHOLE LOT of friends here on the Speedster Forum that really wish him a speedy recovery.

I'm hoping he's doing OK and will be out of the hospital soon (and NONE of us like being in hospitals, either!) and that he can enjoy a pleasant Spring and Summer..........

Jake,

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

My Dad is 75 and has been fighting cancer and liver problems.

Its really tough and our thoughts are with you.

Hang Tough.

Jack Blake

Jake, my family's thoughts and prayers are with your father for a quick recovery. All our best. We know how tough it can be.

Jake, our best to your Dad and may he have a speedy recovery.
Sincerely,
John H.

Jake, I lost my dad a couple of years ago. I know it's not an easy time now. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! God bless you and your family during this difficult period.

Jake , Your dad , your family and you will be in our prayers.TOM

Hi Guys,
I spoke with Jake last night and he has his dad settled into a great sounding Cardiac Care Center. It seems a failing heart has been on his dad's agenda for some time and the prognosis is sort of up in the air. The doctors are looking into a little experimental procedure where they nuke away some of the previous equipment that has been installed for improved blood flow and then do some re-tooling and retro fitting with shunts treated to fight additional plaque build up.

Our bodies are amazing things and it seems that the Sr. Raby's bod started sending messages to the equipment managers down deep in his chest and the ensuing activity overloaded the artificial circuitry, my terminology, not the healtyh care providers... anyhow, he's not out of the woods yet, but in capable hands.

Continuing to hold a good thought,
P.

My dads situation has worsened greatly in the last day... To make a long story short another more severe blockage was found and the options have narrowed greatly...

I'll keep you posted, for now I'm just trying to keep my schedule up and drive back and forth to the hospital 5 times a day.

Jake

Jake,

Forget about us. Put your business on hold for a while. You've only got one dad... we'll all wait. He needs you more than we do.

Stan's right, Jake. And if there is anything I, we as a group, can do for you please let us know.

Jake , Your dad is first!Business later. Your loyal followers understand.Our prayers go out to both you and your family.

Thanks guys....

we found someone willing to do a very risky procedure to try and get him through this...

That will happen tomorrow, and they may even attempt open heart surgery once again(3rd time)and that just doesn't look good at all, but better than the projection of doing nothing.

I will keep you up to date.

I may come off as a hardcore jerk sometimes, but its just to get a point across. I appreciate yopur friendship, and prayers.

Jake,
Wishing your dad all the best my friend! Alan M.

Jake, you got 'em buddy. You have a lot of friends on this website, myself included.

Jake, your dad is lucky to have such a devoted son. He is in my prayers. If he pulls through the procedure well talk to the doc about transplanting a T4 into him, he should be good for another 200,000 miles, doh!

Hang in there Jake! Our prayers are with your family.
