Congestive Heart Failure

[omaha_red]

What I've never understood is that there are women at my work that quit smoking over the course of their pregnancy only to start smoking again after the baby is born.

i won't allow that to happen.. ever..

omaha,
don't stop smoking.

Smoke up, enjoy yourself!

Thanks for all of your thoughts everyone. She is doing slightly better, and is on oxygen now to help her breath. To top off the day, I get the call early this afternoon that my real grandma had just suffered a stroke, and now she is in the hospital as well. She lost a lot of feeling on the right side. Tough times.

Wos, I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry to hear all of the bad news. My prayers are with you and your family, especially those women who are so dear to you.

She passed away this morning...just thought I'd update this thread.

Please be healthy everyone...

I've said a prayer for both JJ. Hang tough with the quiting smoking man,I wish I could.

Johnny, keeping both of your grandmas (and you and family as well) in my prayers. My parents are both in their 80's and in relatively good health (though neither has quit smoking), so I certainly feel lucky and blessed but also have the expectation of dealing with these types of issues at some point in time.

I quit smoking 3 years before my wife did - she stopped 9 months before she got pregnant. Neither of us ever have had any desire to pick up the habit again. I still wish I could talk the folks into giving it up (my dad's argument is that it is his only remaining vice...)

Hang in there.

Sorry to hear that JJ. Hang in there.
