HI, everyone

I just wanted to pop on and ask for everyone's prayers and pixie dust. DH and I are in NYC right now and we had a mishap this morning on the plane. About midflight, I noticed DH's head bobbling back and forth, and I noticed he had dropped the granola bar he was eating. I didn't know if he was choking, or having a minor seizure or a stroke or what. It was the scariest moment of my life. All I know is that I was calling his name, holding his face in my hands and he just would not come-to. His eyes were glazed over and he was unresponsive and his head kept bobbling around. I thought I was going to lose my husband on that flight.

Anyway, to make a long story short, he is fine, believe it or not. He finally came-to, was tended to by flight attendants and a doctor who was on board (thankfully) and was taken off the plane by paramedics and taken to the ER at a hospital in Queens. They ran all sorts of tests on him and everything came out fine. So, they have no idea what happened to him. The doc didn't think it was food related (low blood sugar) fatigue or anything like that.

So, we're here resting in the hotel. We still went to the concert tonight that we came here for, and we'll be back in Chicago on Thursday. I can't imagine I'll get any sleep tonight. I'll probably stay up watching him. It was the scariest thing I've gong through.

Holy cow, that must have been so scary! I'm so sorry you both had to go through that. Like you're not going through enough.

What kinds of tests did they run? An MRI, I assume...

I'm so sorry to hear what happened with your DH It almost sounds like a TIA, ministroke. Prayers for your DH and you. I hope it doesn't happen again. Does he remember the incident? Please keep us posted on how's he doing

Slo...glad you are liking your classes. Is the realty business hard to be in right now? I heard things are going to be changing in January. Is that true?

Debbie, while you didn't ask me, I'm replying anyway. I work for a real estate attorney and my PT job, 5 days a week, has been cut to 3, sometimes 2 days a week. It's nice but, it's also not nice, $$$wise. As for things changing, January isn't typically a good month either but, when speaking with a reliable loan officer recently, I'm told the RATES will be coming down. I was even advised to hold off on refinancing our interest-only loan for now. Just my 2 cents.

 

[KimRaye]

I just wanted to pop on and ask for everyone's prayers and pixie dust.

Carmen! I'm so sorry. How terrifying. Prayers and for sure!!!

Here I was gonna ask you if you and Toby were in Bennigan's on Sat. night? Matt thinks he saw you there but, since Toby wasn't 'Jack' he wasn't sure.

Hope everything turns out ok.

 

[KimRaye]

Amy, you can still post here. We will miss you locally tho. That's a tough move, so far away from your Mom who's so close. Best Wishes to you!


Nicole, glad to hear that Hunter is in a Festive mood with his cast. Here's to healthy healing! He'll be ok. He was probably tired, like you, too.

Yesterday was such a nice morning in the Real Estate office. We did our normal home tour (where agents caravan around looking at new listings), and then afterwards we went to the office for our office meeting and pot luck lunch. I met so many people and they were all very very nice, and very welcoming to me I'm so glad I choose to work out of this office.
Oh....and I finally got my name badge yesterday too, so I feel like I'm finally part of the club

Today I am going back to the doctor today because it's been a week since my last visit, and he wanted to see me. It's good I'm going because even though I feel better, I am still coughing alot - especially at night - very annoying for me and anyone with me. We have to turn the volume up higher on the tv

macraven - I will show your note to Stephanie. Now that she can read she loves reading things about her on the DIS - it makes her feel included
**How's everything going with getting your son home? Which country is he in?

geffric - Congrats to Eric for asking to come to the wrestling team He must feel so flattered!!!
**Is he an Eagle Scout? Or does that come after highschool?

NiteOwl - Is your store done with it's remodeling yet?

Becky - Thanks for Steph's congrats

Sam - Thanks for hugs to Steph
**Kevin and I were just talking the other day about how the characters mouths moved - wasn't it awesome!!!! It really made them look realistic

HERSEY -

biras jim -

Welcome to our wonderful, happy thread!!!
Please come by often, we would love to get to know you!!!!

Debbie - According to my official Realtors, yes business is down and slow. I feel so bad for some of them because some of them are doing this as their only job - it's a scary time for them. For me it's fine, because this gives me a time to learn things before the busy season in the spring and summer.
**I'm sorry to hear about you losing your credit card. This happened to us once, and when the new card came with the new number, we found the old one. I hope everything works out for you

Rosemarie - I'm so sorry to hear about your family being such a pain in the rump As upset as you all are, I say forget about them, and have a nice Thanksgiving with just the 4 of you. You can make a wonderful meal, rent a bunch of movies, and relax at home all day. Hugs to you all, and when you need us, we are here for you

Amy - Wow, you are moving far - good luck!!!!!
You better still come visit us here, even though you are moving, or we'll be sad Seriously though, good luck and well wishes!!!

Jedi - OMG, how scary for you!!! I'm so glad he's better now, but I would agree with whoever said you should check with his normal doctor when you get home. There may be something going on with him that wasn't found there. I will keep you both in my prayers and please keep us posted on how he is doing. We are always here for you!!!!

Bunchkin - I'm so glad that everything went well with Hunter getting his cast The cast he has sounds so fun and festive!!! Wait till he has to get it cut off - it's pretty neat how they do it. Did they say anything about physical therapy after its off? I sure hope you were able to get some sleep last night.

disneymama -

Kim - I'm so sorry that your hours have been cut I sure hope you get your hours back soon

Well, I gotta go upstairs and give Stephanie a shake and tell her to get her booty out of bed Have a good day today!!!

 

[macraven]

good morning chicagoland homies.

maybe the sun will shine today, eh.....


carmen.... that has to have been one of the most frightening things to go through. good thing there was a doc on that flight.
i'm praying for both of you. that's the most powerful thing friends can do for each other.

carmen you take care and just watch toby and if it happens again, call 911 where ever you are.

bunchkin, so hunter picked the green cast with the trees.
that is a happy picture so maybe he won't mind the cast for awhile


slo, by all means show your dd what i wrote, she's a part of us here too !

btw, no word from son yet. still waiting.


i'm leaving now for work.
see you when the school bell rings.

 

[jedi_librarian]

Good morning everyone! Thank you so much for all the kind thoughts. You all are so wonderful. I just had to connect with people I know, because this scary thing is happening and we're out of town and not even home so it's nice to "hear" from all of you

I'm doing better - but still replayhing the whole thing in my head DH says he is not sure he remembers me calling him. He might remember. Sigh. But we're going to call his doctor this morning and hopefully she'll see him as soon as we get back. Meanwhile, we're going to try to enjoy this one day we have in NYC now (I think shopping may cheer me up Especially that nice little World of Disney store over on 5th av. )

Roseprincess - holidays and family drama - don't you just love it? My mom was debating hosting Turkey day this year because "So and so is mad at so and so" and I told her it's their problem. So, she's going to have it now

bunchkin - how neat that he got a Christmas cast! He'll be "festive" for the holidays! I'm glad to see he's feeling better.

sweetangels - I'm so sorry to see you move from Chicago! But look at the bright side - you'll be closer to WDW!!

Kim - yes! Toby and I were at Bennigans on Sat!! Boy, Matt sure does get around, doesn't he? Oh, wait, but that means me and Toby do, too

Mac - you indeed have been a great friend to me How is your son doing?

hersey, slo, and everyone else -

Well, it's 9:00 NY time so I'm going to see if I can get DH up and get this day started.

 

[disneymama73]

Carmen, I hope you can have a fun day today! I'm thinking about you!

 

[jedi_librarian]

Thanks, Michele
And you know, I almost didn't come with him on this trip. I was seriously debating it, but he really wanted me to go. What if I hadn't been there?

 

[Nite0wl71]

Good Morning All

Stacey got her report card and got A's and B's so she is on the Honor Roll. She only missed 2 days--when we went to MNSSHP , I guess it didn't hurt her. She got B's in science and Algebra but those are both high school courses, like AP classes. We just sent in 5 applications for High Schools, one more to go.

slo--We are done being re-modeled as far as they are going to. They are tearing down the store in July, the landlord wants them to rebuild in the back of the parking lot so she can add a few more stores. So far nothing concrete on what they are going to do. I feel like we are the red-headed step-children We are always an afterthought.

Jedi--That was so scarey what happened to your DH, glad that htere was a DR on board. I hope everything checks out when he gets back home

Deb and Rose Marie--I am glad I was able to make your day alittle brighter

I will miss the girls when (if) they move, its only 770 miles from here and I have already been looking at air fare and Carmen I also checked the distance to WDW it is only 525 miles

Bunchkin--I hope you can get some rest today. You know with 5 kids the most they have ever broke was a finger, but I guess Amy made up for it all

I have to run to the post office and it looks yucky outside I bought Stacey a pair of pirate pants at Epcot and had them send it to our resort. I picked up the bag, glanced inside then packed it. When we got home I pulled them out and they left the security device still on them. I called and even the Disney stores can't take them off so I have to mail them back and they will remove it and send them back to me

 

[DonnaW]

Good morning, all...

Wow...it's been kind of a tough time for Chicagoans lately, hasn't it?

JEDI...first, prayers for you and your husband...I am sure that must have been incredibly frightening. I can't even imagine what you went through!

MAC...prayers for you and your son....again, I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through!

BUNCHKIN...I feel so bad for your little one...I know it's always so hard to see our children hurting...hope it's an uneventful recovery.

CARRIE...thanks for sharing those great pictures! I want to go back to Disney World!!!

AMY...good to "see" you here...my sister lives right outside of Charlotte..in Matthews, NC...she loves it there.

KIM...good to "see" you here, as well. What did you think of the Dancing finale last night? I honestly thought they were both great, but have been rooting for Mario all along, so we will see what happens!

HERSEY, SLO, EYEORE, DEBBIE, ROSEMARIE and ALL CHICAGOANS...HI, THERE! Hope everyone has a good day today!!!

 

[disneymama73]

Thanks, Michele
And you know, I almost didn't come with him on this trip. I was seriously debating it, but he really wanted me to go. What if I hadn't been there?

You're welcome! I'm almost always signed onto the board, and I check my email often, so don't hesitate, ok?

 

[geffric]

Morning..

Carmen what a scary thing to have happen. Glad he is okay today but I exho the rest and make sure he goes to the Dr when you get home and have an MRI etc. Hugs, prayers and PD to you and Toby. I think it is "fate" that you joined him on this trip and that the was a dr on board.

Bunchkin.. now you can rest , glad Hunter got the cast he wanted and is in the spirit of things. Hope he has a speedy recovery...

Kim sorry that they cut your hours that is really tough near the holidays..

Amy good news for you and your DH. Hope the move goes smoothly. Does your DH have a job there?

Rosemarie.. sorry the the family is so not in the spirit of the season.

 

[Nite0wl71]

CARRIE...thanks for sharing those great pictures! I want to go back to Disney World!!!

Well what are we waiting for the line is getting longer

Now the bus is coming

 

[SamIAm21]

Wow Niteowl, you just totally made my day. I'll be at POP in 11 days! I love the pictures with the sky so blue and the colors so vivid. I'm looking out my office window as I type this and its grey and blah... NOVEMBER blah!!

Jedi, I am so glad you decided to accompany your husband on this trip. I am so sorry you both had to go through that. Please take care of yourselves and have a safe, healthy trip home!

Bunchkin, Megan told me to tell you to tell Hunter that she hopes he's okay and that it won't hurt too much. She was very interested in how you knew his arm was broken and asked if they had to cut his arm open to see. YOUCH!!! OUCH!!! I had to explain to her all about Xrays. She's had xrays at the dentist, but didn't know about the bone ones. She was relieved to hear that. I said, he'd probably get a cool cast, but I didn't know he'd get one with snowmen, all Christmasey like that.

She'll want one the minute she sees it!

Slo: I'm glad you like your office. It's important to have cool people around you at work. Makes the day go by faster.

Take care everyone!

Stay healthy and happy and pray to see some
