I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

June 22, 2008 - Bass Pro Parking lot - OKC, OK

Here we are with our friends and neighbors from Kona, Tony and Linda Keeling. They had picked up their Pleasure Way, Motor Home in Arkansas a few days prior. They were passing through Oklahoma City when Carl had to be admitted to the hospital. We were on our way to the hospital in OKC after we left Ardmore when we met up with them to show each other our rigs. Tony has had a by pass heart surgery over nine years ago so he was very reassuring to us that all will be well. We are hoping when we get on our way again we will be able to meet up again.

All Wired

June 20 -22 - Mercy Hospital, Ardmore, OK

Here's Carl after the first hospital stay, all wired for sound. We were on our way to the Gulf Coast off of Texas when he started experiencing chest pains. He as admitted to a small hospital where they determine he might have problems with his heart. After three day we left this hospital in Ardmore, OK and came back to Oklahoma City which has a special Heart hospital. After many tests, it was determined that he indeed did have 4 arteries that were blocked. The doctors inserted a catheter through a vein in his groin and narrowed the blockages with balloons. Next they implanted metal stints to keep the arteries open. He was able to leave the hospital after only an over night stay. He is doing great. He needs to take it easy for a few days and then we can get back on the road. Boy are we glad we were close to a big city that had the expertise needed.
