Folks Of Interest Rick Bales, New Heart

Bob please give my best to Rick. We are all very lucky to have the medical teams and procedures available that change our lives.

 

Great news. It sounds as though he is coming along as well as can be expected.
Vicki and I are thinking of him and will keep him in our prayers.
Tell him we said "HEY!!!" when he wakes.

 

Thanks for the updates Bob, Speedy recovery Rick.

 

Be sure to pump him twice and choke him before starting

 

And make sure the new pump diaphragm is rated for ethanol!

 

Rick has been out out of bed moving around & doing breathing exercises working his lungs. They have moved him toward solid foods slowly.

Rick called me yesterday & sounded very good for what he has been thru. This shows how strong Rick is both physical & mentally!

Rick made one point very clear- he has good friends & is very thankfull for that.

 

Thanks for the update Bob. I hope to get through St. Charles in May and see some of that bunch. Maybe Rick will be available, love to see him again. I have a pic of my 2 door sittin next to his 3 wndw in his driveway...late 70's. Tim

 

GREAT NEWS!
Slow and steady wins the race. Hang in there Rick.
At this rate we'll be expectin' to see ya in Austin in April.

 

I talked with Rick earlier today. He sounds great and it looks like he might be headed home tomorrow.

 

More good news! Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing you and your roadster out and about this summer, Rick.
