As you may know, she and David are planning on getting married on Friday March 19, 2004 and I'd like us to send along our prayers and well wishes for a speedy recovery to David and a happy wedding (even if delayed). GET WELL SOON DAVID! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Hugs! Lori below is the email from Dolly Hi Lori, Mary, and Norm, I went to the airport to pick David up and was met with an ambulance and paramedics with my sweetheart on a gurney!! It appears his already health challenged heart had started acting up causing pain for which David would normally take a nitro. However, he'd left them at home! When he asked for one from the flight attendant, she first called the doctor who ordered an ambulance to meet them and gave David the nitro. Three more pills and the plane had landed. He's been in the hospital ever since undergoing many tests. He had the foresight to bring his meical records from Ohio with him, so that helped the docs to know what to do to help him. Right now, this night, he's feeling fairly good, anticipating one of those nasty chemical stress tests in the morning, the one that makes you feel like you're DYING!! I HATE them! But, they're supposed to really show if his heart is at dior risk right now. We already know he'll have to undergo more major surgery on his heart to stent or replace his very enlarged aorta that has an anyorism (sp?) like what killed John Ritter! But, we're hoping he won't have to do that at least for another 6 months because as soon as we return from our honeymoon he has to undergo a major surgery to remove a palm-sized pre-cancerous tumor from his colon... a 16 inch amount that must be removed from his colon with a huge 16 inch incision! His father died from colon cancer so the doctors don't want David to wait for the surgery, it MUST be by April 15th! We had to cancel and reschedule a church activity that he needs to participate in prior to our wedding on the 19th, but hopefully he'll be well enough to do that on Thursday with our wedding day on the 19th. I need a favor from you: would you please post this in the Mosaic, Poetic Voices, and Poem Train for me with a request for prayers for my Sweetheart? I appreciate all your good/postitive thoughts and prayers so very much! Thank you for helping you folks. Love and hugs, Dolly ·············· "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
