My Father  who posts on this forum as Pecanman will wanted me to let everyone know that this past week he suffered a Heart Attack. He is in ICU with 4 blockages and Pnemonia.  He loves this forum and would appreciate your prayers. He is in very serious condition and will be having By pass surgey this Monday.

I am broken hearted. 

You're father is a great man and one that I respect as high as up as respect can go.

You tell my friend Will that I love him and he has my deepest prayers. He is a strong man and strong man in God.

Thank you for telling us and tell your dad he needs not to worry about us, we are there with him in spirit!

If you have the opportunity to provide an update, I would appreciate you taking the time but, please, do not go out of your way. If there is anything we as a group can do, please let us know.

Will is great man with a lot of knowledge.  I will add him to my prayer list, and hope for him to have a full recovery to come back posting again.   As Will says, maybe the good lord watch over us all and him.

Hello Pecanmanwill's son (you didn't tell us your name),

Thank you for letting us know about your dad Will. May the Lord hold him in his palm as he goes through surgery and the healing process. Godspeed to him. He will be in our prayers. If there is anything we can do, please don't hesistate to ask.

We would appreciate it if you could provide us an address to which we could send at least a get well card. You could probably email it to one of the mods and they could send it to interested forum members to avoid posting it on the web.

All the best!

Patrick

I could say it any better than iot's already been said.  Pecan Jr, you tell Will we're all pulling and praying for him, and we'll be here waiting when he gets better and comes back.  I've been down that road with my father, and will hold you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

     

                    Tell our Good Friend Will that our prayers are with him and the family. I have gained much through meeting Will on this forum.

                       Tell him to get well soon because we are going to be anxious to here from him.

                                 Tom

We are all at your side and anxiously await your speedy return.

I sit here stunned at your news........your Dad has always been a huge blessing to us, and my deepest prayers are with your Dad and Mom and all  of your good family.
Please tell him that "faithfulfrank" , as well as many others are praying earnestly for him and his whole family. He has always spoken highly of his son also being his Pastor.
If you have the time, please let us know an address so we can send him a more personal expression of our concern and care.

In His grip of grace,

Please let Will and his wife know when you are able that they are in my prayers.  Your family is in my prayers as well.  Your father is a beautiful person and very, very well liked here, for his kindness, humor as well as his obvioius love for his pecan orchard and the now famous (on this forum anyway), pecan shaker.   

Paula

My prayers from me and the misses..............

Your Dad is in all of our prayers, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.

Chris, Marshal, Dave, Rob.

 Could one of ya'll check into seeing how we might get an address of the Hospital so we could send a card to Will. Or if one of ya'll could send one from all of us?

Robert

Our prayers join those of the rest of the forum in wishing your dad a speedy recovery.

Dear Will and Will's Kid.

  My prayers are with you.I hope everything goes good with your bypass.

I hope your father gets well soon. 

Pecanman will's son:

Wish your dad a speedy recovery. Look forward to again enjoying his intelligent and thoughtful posts on this forum in the near future.

I hope he gets out real soon so he can put that alternator on his picker.

I'm very sorry to hear bout Will's health. I hope he recovers well from the operation. The best I can say about the by-pass operation is that the procedure is almost routine nowadays & afterwards he'll feel better than he has in years, that is of course once he gets pass the recovery from the actual surgery.

Pecanman's son,

The best thing you can do is visit him often & keep his spirits up. I just had the same procedure done, please tell Will that he'll feel better every day after the surgery & even much better once they get him out of the ICU (post-operative).

Marshall,

Sorry I never got you that uodate on my 55" DLP TV, but I hope you understand. Anyway, I apologize about hijacking Will's thread here.

Whyme, I am sorry to hear about your surgery, I didn't know. Recover well!

 Please, don't worry about the TV, I'm not buying anytime soon. It's kind of you to think of it though!

             Just wondering if anyone has heard how Will is doing yet?

             Tom

I've been hoping to hear some good news too. Hopefully we will tonight or tomorrow?

I am hoping this is a case of no news is good news!

Amen.

Bump!

Still no word on Will?

Still waiting.

Unfortunately Will is not young but believe it or not this is in his favor due to the developement of collateral blood circulation that developes as we age in the heart as vessel occlusion happens to everyone.  That said IF he ends up with quadruple bypass that is serious surgery with no complications regardless of his pre surgical condition.  With pnuemonia complicating things prior to the procedure pending the type of bacteria it is or whether or not it is even viral the water becomes as muddy as a New Orleans swamp....

We can only pray  and wait and hope it all works out...

C

My grandfather was in his early 80s when he had a quadruple bypass as well and he came through it very well.  He was also very active like Will (still blew out his own driveway that was a good 1/4 mile long, sidewalks, etc.).  They can do amazing things now for the heart...and amazing things with prayers as well.

My prayers are still with you Will.

Paula

I am so happy to hear the good news, you made my night!

Please tell him we are all still praying for him and that we look forward to talking to him again soon!

Thank you for getting back with us, I know this has been a difficult time for you, we appreciate your effort!

Marshall  

Thanks Marshall!   I had intended to respond sooner but St. Francis Cabrini Hospital has been unfortuntely like a second home this week. He asked me to check this forum for messages and I am printing this thread for him to read. He really loves this Forum and I am gratefull for all the very kind replies. May God bless you all and I will try to check up on this thread tommorrow night if anyone has any questions. Hopefully my dad pecanman will can answer them sometime next week.

Well, since you're going to print this out, tell him this a sorry way to get attention and to quit loafing and get back to the Pecans!  

                Thanks so much for the Great news. I hope that Will has a full recovery without much discomfort . Tell him that we really miss him and that we hope to here from him soon.

                 God bless you and your dad.
                                                                       Tom   

I have to second Marshall!  Thank you SO much for getting back to us and letting us all know!  I am just thrilled!  Your dad is a good man and an inspiration to us here.  

God Bless! 

Paula

That is grand news.    It'll be great to hear from him again, and hear about how that alternator job went. 

It sounds like all of our prayers were answered!  Come on back Will - glad to hear that your doing better!

Marty

It's good to read of good news in the morning! Glad to hear that he is doing well.

So glad to hear that Will is doing well....!
He has our continued prayers.
This is our forum at it's best.....looking forward to Will's first "post operation post".........

Frank D.

Yes it is nice to hear good news in the morning.

Will, wish you the best in your recovery.

Pecan Jr....
    Best news i've had all week, you've made my day

It is great to wake up to such good news!

Will, I wish you a speedy and comfortable recovery.  Glad to hear they had a rebuild kit for you!!

Looking forward to your return, you're in our  continued prayers.

Emmo


PS   If bad things really do come in threes, I'm hoping our "family" is safe for awhile. Fred, Whyme and now Will's accidents/illnesses should hopefully keep the rest of us safe a little longer.

Whew!!

Well praise God for that!!!!

Quadruple bypass and a carotid endarterectomy on top of it??  Well, I always say if you are going to do something you need to do it RIGHT LOL!!!!

Get well Will, you have been missed.

C

Very happy to hear that he is doing well. With all new plumbing, he should be good to go for a long time. I will continue to pray for his quick recovery.

congrats. some pple say after the bypass that hey feel better than they did in 15 years.

Great News!  Great News!  Great News!

Yeeeeeee Haaaaaawwwww !!!  


Glad it went well !

Say hi to your Father from all of us... wishing him a speedy recovery !


Dave...

Will,

Glad to hear the re-tubing work went so well.

Hope you'll be up to full steam in no time, and all ahead full into the pecan orchards.

  As my mother used to say  : "If you want to give me flowers, do it now, while I can see and smell them. "

Good luck,and God bless!

Prayer is a good and powerful thing when used in large numbers.
Glad every thing worked out.Still pray every day for all
our service men and women at home and over seas.
T.J. terry

I agree T. J. Terry.  I also do the same.

Hey Pecan Jr..  He is in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.  Speaking or recovery,  They try an get you up and walking real fast after those oper's.  So hide the snowblower.   unless he promises just to push it around a little in a heated garage, not runnin of course. 

Just real quick here and sry to bother u ,  but as I was skimming the thread,  think you said he would SB a 1/4 mile drive. 

Wew, sounds like fun.  Can you tell a little about that,  like paved or unpaved, was it with a riding tractor,  why not a plow etc.  Not saying that I would use a plow either as SB is more fun.    but prob would have both.  How many SB did he go thru, what kind etc,  anything you can mention would be interesting.  

Ben07

            Just want Will to know that we are still thinking about him.
 
              Tom

I got an e-mail from Will 3 days ago, he said he would be back as soon as he could and was shooting for this weekend, possibly. He thanked everyone for their thoughts and said it meant more to him than we know. I didn't post this because I wanted to let Will speak for himself but, I guess it's best to let everyone know he is doing well and not to be quite as concerned. 

Hope to see you soon Will!

                           

Great news. im glad he is doing good and will be back soon.
