I sent an email to Grandpas Grub over a week ago and this is the email I got back last night. Tim :unsure:
Last night I recieved an email from Shelagh the wife of Grandpas Grub.
Last night I recieved an email from Shelagh the wife of Grandpas Grub.
Hello,
This is Kent’s wife, Shelagh. Kent asked me to check his emails and respond to anything personal that may look like it needed a response.
Sunday afternoon the 8th I took Kent to the ER for problems breathing and irregular heart beat. Once in the ER then to Intensive Care for 2 days, then back to Cardiac Critical Care. It looks like he will be release shortly and will be able to come home this afternoon/night for bed rest. We don’t have a lot of answers right now but I will let Kent follow up as soon as he is able.
Thank you for your concern, Shelagh.

Hope GG gets better soon. He was a real help to me when I was a newbie. I still have a lot to learn, but he really helped me out. Especially when he explained what a DFMT was! For the life of me, I had no idea what people were talking about...

GG, here's wishing you a rapid recovery!

I talked to him on the phone for 80 minutes a little while ago.
Kent said he was at a family event when his breathing was labored and he got cold chills and that his heart beat was irregular.
We talked about a lot of things including his health. He is home resting with oxygen. He still has a shortness of breath and his heartbeat is not regular. He also has some infection and on Friday he has an appointment with a surgeon for a growth on his leg.
Kent told me I could report on his progress and that he will try to check in on the forum today. I did send him the link to this post as well as the post Cooking Biker has started.
Feel free to call me all day and I will tell you what I know.

Kent says thanks for the post and prayers. Earlier in a phone conversation he thought he could sit at the computer but he can't at this time. :( Tim
-
I was starting to wonder where you were, I hope you feel better soon Kent.
-
Hope you're feeling better GG. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
-
Will say a prayer for you Kent! Keep you head up. Heart problems are one thing they can do ALOT about. You'll be right as rain in no time.

do I individually respond or...
we had a thread about this a while back and there sure were a lot of thoughts and concerns to a single response as apposed to responding individually to each post.
So - for now. I am opting for one post.
I want to thank each of you for your thoughts, each is very much appreciated.
A little detail of what went on will be posted at a later time.
Again thank you.
Kent
