{{{{{{vibes}}}}}} & [[[[[[prayers]]]]] for him! keep us posted.
Thanks for the site....I will for sure keep you all updated. I just hope that he pulls thru-I dont know him personsonally, but John has grown up with Matt and their family, so he's really down and everything over this, and I just feel so bad, cuz I don't even know what to say?!

I can't believe something like this happened over the holidays....such a rough time to go thru this-especially since he doesn't have much family in the first place

Under the cats, mostly.
I'll be praying hun. I had a school friend who's mother collapsed with a massive brain anuerysm when she was 12. She spent years recovering - it was slow and it was painful - but thankfully she made it and she's now fully recovered. It will be a long and tough road ahead, but I pray with all my heart Matt's father's recovery will be as good as hers. It can be done...

It does depend on many factors - no two aneurysms are alike but some people can recover quite well. Hopefully, his was not a bad one and he will do fine. Or even if it was not good, he will be able to overcome it and do OK. It is surprising how well some people do!!! I will say some prayers _and I am never sure to be honest what you mean by vibes but I will think good thoughts (is that a vibe? , I have been wanting to ask this forever! We never use the term even at our hospital - we talk about prayers and thoughts and that sort of thing).

Good luck to your husband's father's friend. 50 is very young for an aneurysm so hopefully he is in good health and has not already had one that he does not know about (some ppl have small brain aneurysms they only discover later!).

Take care!!

I just hope that he pulls thru, I can't imagine him loosing his father, especially at Christmas time


At least there are chances that he can pull thru-lets just hope that he does.

I haven't heard anymore on him today, John has been at work all day so hopefully he'll get some new updates tonight.

Thanks again to everyone for the prayers and vibes

Just getting on board with this -- you have my thoughts and prayers for Matt and his father -- and for you guys, too, of course. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Where my cats are
I prayed right away for Matt, his father, and John. It's ok to not know what to say. Being there is the most important thing. I've known a few people who have had aneurisms. And like everyone has said, some recover fine, some recover to a certain extent, and some don't. It all depends but I believe prayers can make all the difference!

Sending lots of healing prayers and vibes to Matt's dad, and supportive vibes to the rest of the family. I know this is a bad situation, but just remember that Christmas is a very special and magical time of the year...so don't give up and definitely keep praying for Matt's dad!!!!

Thanks everyone


No real updates from over the weekend, they are still doing tests and whatnot, he cannot talk, but he tried to pull the breathing tube out, so he is aware of the situation.

I hope that I will have some good updates soon, thank you all so very much for the prayers and vibes!!
