RixinPhx in Hospital

Postby crazymotherof8 » Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:31 am

Hi All,

Rick just sent me a text to let me know that he is in the hospital again and would like prayers and swinging chickens. Here is the text:

"Not doing well, in the hospital with small bowel blockage. Have NG tube, trying to clear. No internet access. Please ask board to swing chickens."

Rick is always on this board lifting others and offering help. Wouldn't it be wonderful if when he gets internet access he can read here from all of you that he has helped! :D :D

Love to all!
Niki

Rick - This is no way to spend the holiday weekend! The dreaded NG tube - guess that mean no BBQ for you! Hope the liquid diet solves the problem and you are back home soon. Got to go find me some chickens and start swinging!

Rix,

Wow, hope you are doing okay there and you will be back online soon !

I don't swing anything apart from my beach umbrella. To get the sand off...

But you know, I am thinking of you and hope you are getting out soon.
