Well, this has been a rough few days for our family.  They say that things come in 3's and it usually turns out to be true.  (I've posted about the previous 2 accidents and death already)

I honestly don't know how much more tragic and sad news that I can take. :(

Another BIL of mine had a heart attack last night, he's just 45 years old.  His arteries were 99.9% blocked, luckily they made it to the hospital on time.  They put in 2 stints and are keeping him a couple days for observation.

Please keep him, his wife, his children and grandchildren in your thoughts!

What a difficult time your family has had lately, sending more prayers.

I don't think I can handle much more tragic news, it's draining.
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. Aug 28, 2009, 1:49pm EDT
I totally understand with everything going on in our family. Sending many ((hugs)) to comfort you.

Oh my! I'm sorry to hear that, Bridget. When it rains... well, mostly it just sucks! Hope he recovers quickly!
Bridget ♥ Aug 28, 2009, 1:43pm EDT
It does suck!
Peter Joseph Swanson Aug 28, 2009, 1:35pm EDT
sad - I hope he gets well soon !!!
Oh my goodness Bridget! I hope he will be ok with the stints in place.
Jill~Sexy Back~ V. Aug 28, 2009, 1:56pm EDT
Oh my that's sure scary. Thankfully they were able to treat him in time. Prayerful that he will make a speedy and full recovery and that your family will not have any more bad news for a long long time. *HUGS*
So sorry to hear this! I hope he and his family are doing well today. The same thing happened to my mother-in-law a couple of years ago. She felt strange, went to the hospital, they found a 99% blockage, and she had a stint put in. She is doing fine now. I hope your brother-in-law recovers just as well.

I am so sorry. It kind of stinks that being in a large family that can give so much also means that there is more chance to be effected by the bad as well :( My thoughts are with you and their families...
