Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Just recieved an update a few hours ago and Pete is definitely making progress in the right direction. He is still in an induced coma but his heart is beating normally and without assistance. Lets keep him and his family in our prayers as well as the grieving family of the donor.

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
You certainly have my prayers Pete. Hope you are up and around soon.

I think all of us can live with a non born with component. At least he is not a rebody. That would be intolerable. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] </div></div> Yes but he's got Canadian docs ! |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Thanks Bruno. He's never left our thoughts and is still in our Prayers.

Good news, thanks for sharing.

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
Just spoke with Terry and he told me that although Pete suffered a few setbacks this week, he took a turn for the better in the last 12 hours. Not out of the woods yet but the doctors are stabilizing him. The family appreciates all the thoughts and prayers. |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Thanks Bruno. We'll step up the prayers a notch or two.

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Hey all,
Spoke to Vicky today and she'd like to thank you all once again for the thoughts and prayers. Peter has battled many complications since the heart transplant operation and is slowly progressing although he remains in critical condition. He was finally able to open his eyes and focus although he still remains semi conscious. She told me that the boys have been doing a great job taking care of the farming operation while Peter recovers. She asked if we could recite the Lord's Prayer and think of Peter. Hoping to update you all with good news in the coming days. |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Every day; as requested Bruno. That's a great family.

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
The Musclecar family is very supportive and we are pulling for Pete.
This isn't a quarter mile race, slow and steady wins this one. Prayers sent. I live pretty close, and would love to help in any way, maybe when he gets a little better I could visit and shoot the breeze, pretty sure we have some commonalities like cars and wonderful families. If he is at St. Marys General Hospital where my Mom had her heart surgery I know for a fact he will be well cared for, the most wonderful repair shop I have been to. Ryan |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Hi All!!
Happy to report that all your thoughts and prayers are helping revive our dear friend Peter. His son Owen, told me that he's awake and able to respond by nodding his head. We all know that Peter is a fighter and I'm sure that he'll respond positively to all the rehabilitation that lies before him in the coming months. I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing him a quick recovery. His wife Vicky has journalized his progress and I'm sure he's anxious to tell us all about the battles he's won thus far with your outpouring of love and support. Go Pete Go!!! Call me selfish......but I'd do just about anything right now for one of his signature Bloody Ceasars and a "state of the sport" address |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Thanks Bruno...please keep us updated. Tell his wife that we're all waiting for him to get back on here!!!

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Great news Bruno. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Thanks for more good news Bruno. I know I'm not alone when I say we think of Peter & Vicky every day. They're the kind of people who get into your heart and stay there, so when they're hurting, we are too.
They've fought too many battles already and once this is behind them we Pray for some smooth sailing for many, many years. Get strong again Peter. We miss you here. |

Re: COPO Pete in hospital
Here's the latest from Peter's sister........
Day 44. Peter is still in ICU. He is very aware and becomes agitated when trying to communicate. The past week has been tough. We are learning about the phases and time lines from other successful heart transplant recipients who are walking around enjoying life 24 months later. Peter is enduring a tough chapter in his life and one apparently has to go through it. Unfortunately, for Peter, he is experiencing extreme and puzzling complications. But there have been worse cases - which is somehow reassuring. Peter has a fungal infection in his sternum that is being treated with antifungal medications. The doctors are watching this extremely closely. More surgery to "clean up" the infection around the sternum is an option they are assessing. But Peter is weak so they are reluctant to perform invasive tests or surgery. Peter has extreme muscle loss and decreased motor skills dues to inactivity for over 40 days. He will need lots of physio. Peter has a trachiotomy and practices breathing without out it for short periods of time to strengthen his lungs. They watch his white blood cell count closely and many other indicators. Nutrition is a concern. He is having trouble with digestion and elimination. Vicky and Peter and the family ask you to keep the prayers coming their way. Prayer is working well. Peter enjoys hearing the voices of his friends. If you are able send a 60 second audio clip to Ross Snider <[email protected]> and Eric Bruce Simpson <[email protected]>, they will play them for Peter on their iphones during visits. This is a great way to connect with Peter without visiting in person. Video clips will work too. If you would like to leave a message of good cheer, for Vicky, call 519 287 3138 in the afternoon or evening while she is at the hospital. She looks after Peter from 2 pm - 10 p.m. and does her work in the morning. She is managing extremely well as are Eric and Owen. The farm is operating clickety-click. Gary and Sherri Johnston visit the hospital every day to support Vicky. Sherri is our family medical consultant who helps with interpretation. Close friends are scheduled to attend the hosptal every day. Mom was pleased to visit Pete on Friday and is looking forward to visiting him more often as he progresses. We can't wait for him to graduate upwards to "the fourth floor" - the transplant wing where all the transplant recipients are recovering and exercising. Vicky is a super health advocate. Everyone needs a health advocate like Vicky! Even if you think you have signed your donor card, please take a few minutes and check the registry on-line at https://beadonor.ca/mary-simpson. It is no longer adequate to just sign a wallet card. Also, please give blood if you can. Dec 28: Blood Donor Clinic, Friday December 28th 5 - 8 pm. Glencoe Agricultural Hall, 268 Currie Street, Dance Hall on East Side of Building. New Donors and walk-ins welcome. Book your appointment to save a life.www.blood.ca and 1-888-236-6283.

Go to the voice recorder on your smart phone and record what you want to say. When done save it and then email it from your phone to their email address.... |
Re: COPO Pete in hospital
I've been following Pete's progress. I wish him well, what an amazing story.
