Extremely Urgent Phred Needs Our Prayers

[dukedogsmom]

Get well very soon, Phred! We're so sorry to hear what happened. Lots of fingers and paws crossed hoping your recovery goes well.

Lots of prayers still headed your way!

More prayers for Phred, and his critters, also.

I called the hospital - took me 11 min. to get through to someone in his unit. I spoke to Phreds good firefighter friend Pat, he really is nice - have known Phred since about 76. He persuaded Phred to come along to the hospital, together with his brother Tracy? who is in the MT. They were ready to force him if neccesary. Phred was in his driveway at the time it happened - thank God! He had a very high BP he told me. He also said they started him on IV's - whatever that is.

He said it was a close encounter and a major warning, and that Phred is not completely out of the woods, so please keep sending all your prayers and good thoughts! Phred is awake and conscious about what's going on, the nurses are great, and he has got his color back, and is only getting liquid for nutrition so far. He will be going on a diet. When he gets a room of his own, he will probably have to stay for about 10 days.

Cinder, Smoke, Bowser and Boots are well cared for, and Phred is in a good spirit - joking like always.

Pull through this, Phred!! ... even if you do have to stop smoking, and eating healthy. We're all rooting for you!!

I believe Phred needs some piece and quiet, but I'm sure he'll be happy to have messages passed on.

Randi, do you know if this Pat is also his neighbor? (There's a Pat and Joan that Phred often dogsits for.) If so, is he the one taking care of Phred's pets?

Thanks for the update!

Randi, thanks for udating about Phred AND the kids! Knowing someone is taking care of them is such a relief.

Freckles, thanks for pointing out that Randi had added that info. I would have missed it otherwise.

Prayers still on the way from me!

Zippy, I'm not sure, but I think it is the one Phred dog/etc. sits for. Not sure how close Phreds neighbors are, but Phred was in his driveway. I believe he is a firefighter buddy as well. It may have been the one Stacy talked to. She will probably know. Do you have her no. or e-mail address? I will PM you!

Talk about guardian angels, how fortunate Phred was in his drive way with help near by and not out in the woods by himslef. I get chills just thinking about that.
