My Grandfather just had a heart attack. My mom, and her parents are somewhere near Padre. My dad called me a few minutes ago. Mama had called him crying and told him to let my brother and me know and hung up. He said that he could hardly understand her because she was very distraught. He was taken by helicopter. My mother is driving to the hospital. I am so worried about her driving if she is in that bad of shape.

So sorry to hear this, Lauri. I hope your grandfather is all right.

Lauri, sending (((hugs))) and prayers to you and your family for good results with your grandfather. Was he by himself when he got sick? Has he had previous heart problems? Where are they taking him? We live in a wonderful time with so many medical options available to us. Your Mom will be fine. God gives us unimaginable strength when we need it the most!

Lauri,

Hope your Grandfather is O.K. and I'm so sorry.

I really don't know many details. Dad said he could barely understand Mom. Last year at this time he had a heart attack and spent several months in the hospital. He had a quadruple bypass at that time.

Thank you guys for listening and being here for me.

Lauri - My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers. The waiting is the hardest part of all. I hope your next call will give you more information. Please keep us posted.

Lauri, I'm thinking of you and your family -- as everyone who reads your message will be. Hope your grandfather is going to be OK.

Hang in there and be strong. Hopeing for the best.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Sending lots of positive vibes and prayers your way. As someone that has had their share of tragedy lately I so understand your situation completely. My thoughts go out to you at this time. And yes, God does give us strength to handle these types of situations. Put your faith in HIM to get you through.

(((Lauri))), I'm so sorry! I hope your grandfather will be ok and I will keep you and you family in my prayers.

Lauri, how is your grandfather doing? Hope all is well.

Thank you one and all. I talked to my mom a few minutes ago and she said that he was in ICU and that he seemed to be doing ok. They are running all of the test on him right now. I appreciate all of your support. Being somewhat of a hermit for the past few years, I really don't have any friends around here-it's so nice to know that you are all here. ((((HUGS)))) Can you feel them?

Hey-my mom beat the helicopter to the hospital!! SCARY HUH? Grandad told her that if he had known she could drive so fast he would have ridden with her. What a character!

Lauri - I'm glad to hear things are looking better. I'll keep you in my prayers.

My heart goes out to you and your mom, Lauri. It's so hard when a parent is sick. Take good care of yourself so you can take good care of them. Best wishes to him for a speedy and thorough recovery!

Lauri, hope your Grandfather will continue to get better and better. Maybe the helicopter service should consider hiring your Mom. She must be a former "carpool Mom"! She knows how to "cut to the chase". LOL

Lauri as a retired cop(traffic officer) I can tell you from personal experience that that fast driving thing is a female trait LOL. Watch cops./.. the only ones who ever get away from the helicopters are the females .

Prayers and best wishes to you and your family. We here a proud to have you as a friend. Keep us posted.

Geez I'm probaly in trouble now with all me female friends(or former friends ) here.
