Praying for Matt and your family.

Ruby, I am so sorry to hear all this. But he is being well cared for by hospital staff. Grandchildren are definitely being cared for by LOVING grandparents. I am sure that Kat is relieved that you are still there.

Prayers all around for you all.

I will keep your family in my prayers. That must have been a very scary time.

Out here in the boonies we hear the sound of the life-flight helicopter quite often. Since the closest hospital is in Springfield about 70 miles away that is how a lot of the emergencies get to the hospital. It's scary to think how long it would take to get an ambulance here for the EMTs before the call would go out for the helicopter if needed.

Oh Ruby, I am so sorry to read this, I must have missed this post yesterday.
How is he doing??

I hope he will be fine, I will keep him and Kat and kids, and your whole family in my prayers, what a shock it must have been to see him like that.

Big hug from the Netherlands for you and Don!!!!

Ruby, I am on my knees, hands folded together now, praying. I hope Matt is doing better today. I know that had to be scary for not only Katt but the whole family. Thank you God those that pulled him out were there! I am praying they fix the problem and he's feeling better and back with the family soon. Bless you my friend. Donna

Our family feels so blessed to have you all as our Angels, praying for Matt.

Matt is only 30 years old, he's had Crohns since he was 16 and has been only heavy meds since then. Had his first heart attack at 21. In 2010, he had three heart attacks within 3 hours. They put in a pacemaker and defib to stop that, later they discovered he had a malignant adrenal gland that was causing all the trouble. However because of all the damage the drugs are causing to his body, they wanted to leave the p/d in. Good thing they did!

Just spoke to Kat (we're watching Oliver and Penny) Matt is feeling much better this morning. His defib went off a total of six times yesterday afternoon, thinking he was having six heart attack sessions. Needless to say, he was in extreme pain!! Both pacemaker and defib are working as they should technically. He just left for his Stress test and afterwards they'll take an Echo test. It will take at least two hours before he comes back, she'll head back home to feed Penny - will make the little one happy, formula is not her favorite. lol

Matt's Dad and Stepmom Jan are heading to see his Grandma Betty who is in Hospice care, she was expecting the kids and greatgrandkids today. She'll be told the babies are under the weather. Don't want to worry her at this time.

Again, Matt and Kat really appreciates your prayers as well as the rest of the family. Love all of you, Don and Ruby
