A bit freaked out

My best friend's husband had a heart attack early this morning.  He now seems to be doing ok.  Around 4:00 AM they put a stent into the blocked artery and he's currently intubated and sedated.  They live in Virginia Beach.  She's with her son and I am sure there are a bunch of people willing/able to help her out.

I hate being so far away and feeling useless.  It is also a huge reminder how everything can change in the blink of an eye.  He seemed fine yesterday.

I have already sent her a text and FB message to let her know we are thinking about them and that if she wants me there I will be.

Now I am wondering whether to send flowers or a fruit basket.

Not sure why, but I needed to post this.

Re: A bit freaked out

  • Oh no!  I hope he continues to recover quickly.  It has to be frustrating to be so far away.  I'll keep them in my T&P's.
  • I hope he will be ok! 

    Sending a flower or some type of gift basket would be very nice.  I would suggest sending some type of shrub if you send flowers - that way they can keep it!  When I was hurt my company sent me a shrub and it is still living.

  • How scary for your friend! I hope her hubby continues to be stable and recovers quickly. If you're looking to send to the hospital and he's in ICU, I'd be sure they can accept flowers before sending them, I know some don't allow them. I agree with the suggestion to send something that can be planted vs. thrown away. I'd only go w/ the fruit basket if he's not going to be in the hospital very long, otherwise I imagine it could go to waste.  Maybe you could find a basket with some heart-healthy snacks your friend could snack on or bring to hubby in the hospital, I saw some here
  • Aw, I'm so sorry! I hope for a quick recovery!

    Sending a basket for fruits or flowers would be very sweet of you! :o)

    I'll keep this in my prayers!

  • Wow that is scary.  I can't imagine what your friend is going through!  It is nice of you to show that you are thinking of them.  I think flowers would be appropriate, it's more sentimental IMO. 

    Hope he recovers soon...
