Dang Rex, you put a lump in my throat! Cathy, I'd like to send a donation to help with Rex's hospital bills or your home bills. Please PM me.
Thanks.......Mark and Mason.

Cathy and Rex, prayers are being sent. Let me know if there's anything that I can do.

Here's Cathy's reply. I does not seem to list the actual hospital, so I'll see if I can get that info. However, Cathy might be going back and forth between the hospital and their home, so sending something to their house might work: "Sunil - Thank you! Our address is: 2555 Wesglen Estates Dr. Maryland Heights, MO 63043. I just brought him his cell phone, but mostly so he could call out and/or try to get on the internet - he can't stay away from you guys! He's in ICU, so I don't think he can have flowers at the moment (they would probably just make him sneeze LOL) I wouldn't recommend calling him right now, especially since he has to concentrate on breathing, etc. - he can't talk too much. He's pretty irritable at the moment....I will volunteer for the abuse  I will ask him though - Thanks again & I'll try to keep you updated! Cathy"

I called and left a message last night. Rex called me back shortly after and we talked. He sounds good, but worried. I just tried to encourage him and told him the "Pond Boss" and all our extended family is rooting for him. Then, we prayed over the phone and wished each other good night. I'll call him again today, as we travel.

Here's an update from Cathy, and she gives the name of the hospital:
"Hi Sunil,
Just a short update...they were going to try to shock Rex's heart back into a normal rythmn this morning. While they were prepping him, he started coughing up what they were giving him & he threw his heart back into a normal rythmn. Heart doc said he hadn't seen that before & they didn't need to do the procedure! So now we wait to see if he stays in a normal rythmn.
Bob Lusk called last night and we were both comforted by his kind words. Rex did look at some of the posts on the forum last night & got a good laugh at the post saying he was needed for any future PVC muskrat problems! Seeing him laugh was truly uplifting....thank you all.
In case anyone wants the info, he's in SSM DePaul Health Center in Bridgeton, MO. He has his cell phone, but I don't know if he has it on right now. He's pretty worn out & talking is a bit rough (dry throat, general exhaustion, etc.) I'm hoping he has turned the corner on this...needless to say he won't be taking Batrim (not Biacin like I mistyped earlier) again!
Cathy"
Later tonight, I'll try to find the actual address for those who want to send things unless someone cares to do it first.

Cathy:
Do we need to put a room or bed number on the envelope? This is what I found; is this correct?

OK don't get all excited, it's Cathy pretending to be Rex [I had no problem figuring out his password heehee] Sorry for the piecemeal info - yes 12303 Depaul Dr is the correct address and he's in room 305. He is in one wing of ICU and they won't let him have flowers/plants. I know I never even saw plants people sent me, but they will deliver cards. I just got off the phone with him & he is getting a little bit of sleep, but is still a bit nauseous. I'll be going up there in a little while. Thank you all again for your prayers and support!

You were right, Cathy! I was excited, thinking it would be him. Please remember this is a family, and please let us know if we need to do anything (please PM me or one of the other folks; someone already said that earlier). Plus, keep the reports coming!!

P.S. I do have to admit that I got a chuckle, thinking that Rex was able to get his heart back in rhythm by himself. That's sort of a classic Rex, isn't it?

I haven't been on this site very long either, but Rex is the reason I am here. Rex has been so generous with his time in answering questions from a rookie like me. Sending some " GET WELL" thoughts from Texas.

Posted by the real Rainman P.S. I do have to admit that I got a chuckle, thinking that Rex was able to get his heart back in rhythm by himself. That's sort of a classic Rex, isn't it? Dave, I'll say to you exactly what I did to the Cardiologist when he saw I was back in a sinus rythmn...."I don't know whether to hug ya or hit ya after that!" Definately a hug!!!! Thanks for the positive vibes! I had to say THANKS to everyone for all the prayers, kind words, funny memories, and well-wishes. I have no doubt the prayers were not only heard, but answered. I'm still far from "cured",but I am nowhere near as bad as I was a couple days ago! PondBoss People Rock!!!!!!!
