OT - Prayers Needed

Post by retrodave15 » Sun Sep 23, 2012 8:21 pm

My wife, and fellow hosehead is back in the hospital. This time it is for a case of suspected viral meningitis. We have had a tough year between me breaking my ankle, then she ruptured a disc helping me out of bed while i was recovering, now this hit us without warning. At least it was not bacterial meningitis, but still with her CHF and Pulmonary Hypertension, any stress to her system is not good.

I just need my luck to change for the better!

Daughter had that, was in hospital for 2 weeks in isolation. Prayers are definitely on the way. As to the bad luck.....only 3 months left and this year will be a done deal....then 2013 will be your families year to reign supreme .
Cheers

Isn't it odd how all these bad patches seem to happen in clusters?!? Sounds like you're still in good fighting form so keep your chin up. Our prayers are on the way.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
