[Troop139] Nancy is out of ICU

[James Gordon Beattie, Jr.]

Hi Folks,

Nancy is out of ICU and walking a bit.  She is sitting up in a chair reading, so God has blessed us with some good news!

She is likely to be home on Monday.

Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.


Just heard today that Don White, KB2OCW died of a heart attack yesterday while buying a loaf of bread.  Please keep him in your prayers.  He helped out many times giving Amateur Radio exams for the Troop and always attended our Hamfests.

He will be missed!


Please pray for those in Paris, those who are suffering and those on the mend.

Yours in Scouting,

Gordon Beattie

Subject:[Troop139] Nancy is OK

Hi Folks,

Nancy had a massive heart attack this morning, and after I rushed her to the hospital, she had three stents inserted into one of the arteries of her heart allowing blood to flow reliably once again.  She is going to be fine, but it will take time.


Her danger signs were right out of CPR training and Boy Scout Handbook "hurry cases" used for Scout ranks and the First Aid Merit Badge.  KNOW THEM WELL...IT SAVES LIVES!  Nancy had extreme pain in her left arm that fortunately woke her up.  She was sweating profusely as well.  I gave it about 5 minutes from when she woke up and when she wasn't better, I packaged her up and went to the ER at Holy Name where they stabilized her further and in two hours she was out of surgery and on the road to recovery.


SO READ THE SCOUT HANDBOOK AND THE MERIT BADGE BOOKS - THEN GO PRACTICE AND APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN SO THAT IT STICKS WITH YOU!


I was fortunate to be able to help my wife of over 32 years.   We expect can have more time together in this life and to better prepare for the next.  You too, have that opportunity, so when it is hard or boring, embrace it with your God-given gifts, and do it for the honor and glory of God, so that you can Be Prepared to be Men for Others.


Please pray for peace for those suffering all around the world, especially those in Paris this night and morning.


Yours in Scouting,

Gordon Beattie
