LIVE FROM LAHEY CLINIC

[Andy]

I just wanted to let everyone to know that I have read all of your posts and I am truly tthankful to be friends with such wonderful, caring people. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Your prayers have made a world of difference. My father had a stroke and a heart attack. He went into Cardiac arrest 3 times, but survived. He has no major damage from the sroke which is a miracle. His condition has improved from critical to serious. God has been gracious enough to protect him and keep him alive. We almost lost him 3 times. Again I am so thankful for your prayers for they have saved his life.

I also want to thank all the TGA staff for keeping the store open in my absence, for I will be here in the hospital for a while.

As another blessing, my father's room has internet access. Can you believe it? My father, being 77, has never seen the internet before. His first experience was reading the thread with all your wonderful comments. He really appreciates all the kind words and wanted me to say thank you.

TGA WILL REMAIN OPEN FROM TODAY (FRIDAY) FORWARD. UNFORTUNATELY THE GAMESHOW TOURNAMENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

THE HALO AND GAME SHOW TOURNAMENTS ARE STILL ON SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEKEND WITHOUT CHANGE

Thanks again everyone! I will keep you posted.

God BLess

I know what its like to watch your dad in the hospital....it's really a scary experience. So for that I lighted these weird insense thinglys that you can make some wishes/prayers on. (Some weird buddist thing my mom does) And I lighted three for you! One for you and for you to be alright, you daddums, and an extra one for him incase. I'm glad everything is better now. :D

For some odd reason Andy always has the right words to make a person cry. ;_;

Oh man, I haven't been to the site in so long (my internet was down because of the storms). But I feel bad, I've read through the posts, and I'm happy that you're dad is doing better and I hope he continues. I am definitely saying prayers for both of you and the rest of your family. My dad went through open heart surgery almost two years ago, and while it's different, I know how scary and depressing it was on me. Stay strong!!
