Some of the longtime members may remember Uncle Buck & Wendy. I received an email from Wendy this morning.
Quote:
Bad News: Buck suffered a heart attack Sunday afternoon around 4pm. I performed CPR until EMS arrived. They intubated him on the ride to the ER. They transported him to another hospital after stabilizing him to a certain extent looking to perform a cath on him. Decided not to. He's now in ICU at St Rose Dominican Hospital Siena Campus in Henderson, NV. Vitals are some what decent, he has bad kidney function, a respirator is breathing for him, and they presently have him in an induced coma for the next 24 hrs pushing meds, etc. They will slowly bring him back around, depending on how he's doing and how they interpret his statement of desires for health care in his current situation. I have general power of attorney and health care power of attorney. I'm not ready to give up on him!!! He's only 61 and we hope to spend at least the next 10 years together, it's too soon to go!!!
I'm needless to say a total nervous wreck, and scared to death for him and me. Please say some prayers for him!!
He's my one and only love and I don't know how I'd survive without him.
Pray hard and long and frequently!!!
Wendy
The last time I saw them was on Rex's Tabletop Mtn run, when Wendy fell and broke her wrist. Our thoughts and prayers are with Buck & Wendy in their time of need.
