i just read ur update and it just put a smile on my face...

last thurday my grandfather had a stint? placed in his stomach area because of an anurism that the doctors accidentally discorverd. Lucky for him. My GrandPops is a fighter Rick, and I get the same vibe with him I get with you.

I'm glad to see that ur wife Christine? (excuse my shot short term memory) is also a member of the "keep on keepin on crew"

i haven't been keeping myself up to date on ur situation as I'd honestly like, but every prayer i say for my Grandpops is immieditly followed by a prayer for ur family.

Thanks Rags. Yes, it is Christine. I will keep your Grandfather in my prayers and thoughts as well man.

ZIP! TheLookerTheWatcher sent you a donation to my paypall! Even banned members care for your ass! You are da man!

He said to pass on his blessing and prayers!

[TheUNZippee!]

Wow that's pretty awesome man. Nice to know that real life > internet arguments.

[DeMello]

hows she doing?

[TheUNZippee!]

Slowly improving. The steroids she is taking are wreaking havoc on her emotions though. Physically she is doing better and better though. Thanks for asking man.

[DeMello]

no problem...i havent read all this just to be honest....whats the steroids for?

[TheUNZippee!]

They kickstart her system in to producing platelets again, and strengthen the immune system.

[96GTRagTop]

Demello, steroids, believe it or not are used widely in medicine to help give your body the kick start to overcome certain ailmants. I've personally recieved 3 injections of the last 3 years (in the butt) because my thoat swelled shut while sick with mono/flu.

It's has similiar affects as a less potent shot of adreniline aka epinefran? spelling


have they given u an update on the count recently Ziparoo?

[TheUNZippee!]

Not yet bro. It's a long weekend up here, so things are more quiet. I'm heading back down there tomorrow.

[DeMello]

oh. i knew they helped with breathing becuase i use to have really bad asthma and got a shot once...

[JASonic]

I cant do epinephrine. I get massive palpatations and heart errythmias. Its like coke to my system. Im just very sensitive to it.Even at the dentist when they inject you with novacaine, (they genrally put epinephrine with it) they have to give it to me without the stimulant.

tell her the Bubble Boy wishes her the best.... and for her not to worry, I'm keeping the house clean for her while she's away

[TheUNZippee!]

Thanks man.

[Mistertribal]

Money sent. Good luck with everything that is going on with your wife. Hope you still accept Canadian Money!!

Take care bro!!

Steve

P.S. Money was sent to jaketg1@gmail.com. Hope he won't have any problems transfering it to you bro and if so, let me know I'll send you some more.

[TheUNZippee!]

Steve, thank you so much. And thank you for the kind words.

I just got back from visiting her. I told her what was going on over here, and she's very touched, and thanks everyone for their kindness, prayers, and donations.

Her platelet count this morning was 360,000. Normal is 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter of blood. So in four plasmapheresis transfusions, she has gone from a count of 8000 to 360,000. However her right eye is still drooping. They did a ct scan this morning after her treatment, and we'll know more tomorrow. They are going to skip her treatment tomorrow, and see how her counts hold up. As of right now they say she will probably be in there until at least Saturday or Sunday. They are also going to start lowering her prednisone dosage gradually, and see how that goes.


You guys have no idea how this is helping me. Just going back and forth to Toronto each time, costs me 60 dollars. Forty bucks in gas, and 18 bucks to park. And I've already made four trips down there.

So these donations are helping me out in an incredible way, and I cannot thank everyone enough here.

[Mistertribal]

^^Anytime bro it's perfectly normal.

If whoever knows the amount that we raised so far, it would be nice to know also.

Keep it coming it guys and gals for our friend Zip!!! Every dollars count for a friend in need.

Not sure. The donations have been going through different channels to get to ZIP. I recieved your Paypal and it is reading "pending". As soon as it clears, it will be sent to da man!

STEVE!!! My Paypall is asking me if I want to accept or deny your payment. I'm going to DENY it that way you can send it right to ZIP and it wont go through my account at all. For some reason, my account is getting "odd". It never asked me that before. I wonder if there is too many transactions coming through or something. IDK. But just to be safe, I will deny the payment and you can send it right to ZIP yourself.

PM if you need to. I have limited time on MM lately but I try to check in here at least twice a day.
