Only excitement of the night was: Frank woke up, looked at the clock, was so excited he had slept till 6:10am. After reading "the blog" he looked down and noticed it was only 1:30AM, NOT SO HAPPY then. (Had those little arms turned around)
Frank thinks today is going to be real busy with doctors, social worker visits and test. He is not allow to eat or drink right now, not sure when they will be taking him for the echo test.
I will come back to this post and keep you updated with the progress. Susan
5:30 PM Hi all just wanted to let everyone know that I went for an Ecco Ultasound of my new heart today. The results are in and the nursing staff has told me that they look Great. My ejection fraction is 55-70% witch are the numbers for a normal healthy heart. All the valves are working great and the timeing between the right and left sides are fine. Tomorrow I will have my first heart biopsy, this is a major hurdel it test for any sign of regection.Please keep me in your prayers. I will have these biopsys each week for the first month and then bimonthly for the next six. Thanks for all your support I can't express how much it means to Susan and I.
Cheers Frank

Hi Frank and Susan,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you both to know that I have been praying for you. I really am glad about this blog so I know how you are doing. I hope today is a good day. Sending good wishes your way.
Vicki and Jim Mirabile
Sending special prayers from the children at Holy Cross. Thanks for keeping us posted. I hate it when that happens...you think it's late and you get up and read blogs or play computer games and you look down at the clock and it's at least three hours earlier (in your case five OMG) than you thought it was. Ironically, it happened to me this morning as well. Have a good day and keep us posted. Susan, I hope you get a chance to go to The Hill. I've been there and although it's not as good as homemade, it'll work! ;-) Love to you both, Susie
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go snow sking with Angi Frye.
ReplyDeleteFrank

ReplyDeleteRon
Thanks Frank, finally we get to snow ski!!! I was getting worried there for a minute! Sleeping in a hospital is not fun, my last 2 experiences have been them bringing in a baby to nurse every two hours, at least you don't have to do that.
ReplyDeleteI will be waiting to see how your echo works out today, hopefully we will know some answers.
Angie
Hi Frank! So glad to see the picture of you walking down the hallway. You look great! Love the smile. Just wanted you to know that I continue to think of you and pray for your steady recovery. I want to send you some books so you'll have something to read when you wake up in the middle of the night. Are you up for that yet? Maybe not. I have several in mind for you though. When you're ready, let me know. Right now I'm reading one called The Shack. All I can say is Wow. It's got me thinking. I've got a feeling you'd enjoy it as well. Be good and just let yourself heal. Love this blog. I'll check in again later.
ReplyDeleteTalk soon.
Wendy
Ron, We better be invited, us WOMEN! I went to that sandwich shop on the hill today (the one the crepe guy talked about),brought frank a meatball sandwich back a MILE long!
ReplyDeleteYes cetta, I will rest...
Angie - what about me, I guess JFrye will have to get stuck skiing with me.
Susan-you're a given, you are always there!!! I had so much fun skiing with you and Rudy in Breck. Let's leave J Frye at home!
ReplyDeleteI just did EPA reports and it said something about medical leave-what's up with that! HA HA!!
Angie

ReplyDeleteFrank I'm truly honored. I remember Concetta but I'm not quite sure she remembers me. I just called John Brocato and I'm sure he'll be posting soon. Your recovery is a miracle in progress. I just know you're getting better everyday...thanks to Susan, Carl John & Rudy, Johniann, and your many, many friends and all of our prayers. Take care and I'll talk to you both soon! Love, Susie

Frank/Susan,
ReplyDeleteI am loving this blog! I've been checking it all day to see how everthing is going. I love the updates. I've even got it on my courtroom computer so when it slows down one click and there it is. Love the food on the Hill. Did you get any of those cookies??? Got to try them. Prayers are with you.
Rozann :)
Can't tell you how happy we are to here the echo went well. Just know the biopsy is going to only give you good news. Can't believe how much you remind me of our fathers. They must be so happy over your new heart. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Linda Walt
Frank,
ReplyDeleteJust came in and had a minute before I went to bed...Baron and Bentley got a new swing set/play yard/big enough for the whole neighborhood...You know the Frye's - go big or go home! Anyway, so glad to hear the echo cardiogram went well, will be waiting probably not so patiently to hear about the biopsy. I am familiar with the terms that you are using and remembering all the talks we had about your OLD sickness that I can kind of follow the results!
Hope you have a good night's rest and in the words of Bentley "Nigh Nigh"
Angie
Frank
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear you are doing great. I will be keeping you in my prayers as you wait for your tests. Keep up the positive attitude. Make sure Susan gets some rest :)
Susan
Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you guys. Dawn and I have being doing just "okay". We are having fun but I am sure we would be having a BLAST if you were with us. Keep Mr. Frank in good spirits! Can't wait to see you guys.
Frank & Susan,
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you guys how happy it makes me to hear everyone talk about how much they like the blog! It really makes me feel like I am doing something to help out. I am also absolutely overjoyed regarding your progress, it's like a dream, isn't it?
Love,
Stephanie
Concetta, if you're the same one I'm thinking of hun, you have a younger sister named Nina who's my age, a twin sister named Rosie and you and Johniann used to hang around together. If my memory serves me right, Robin Harkrider hung around y'all as well. I was the bratty blonde across the street...jealous because I was never invited and not Italian LOL. If you're not that Concetta, my apologies...you know how ASSumptions are. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFrank, it sounds like each day you're getting better! That's great music to this musician's ears. The Eighth Graders will be graduating from Holy Cross tomorrow night. I'm sure Father Joe will corner me to see how you're doing. Susan, you're just as amazing as your soulmate. PLEASE make sure you're getting your rest so you can both come home safe, well and sound. Love to you both...the word of the day is SLEEP...Susie
ReplyDeleteHello there guys -
ReplyDeleteWanted to check on your progress before I headed off to bed. You two make me laugh when I think I should be worrying. The whole watch thing was great and at lunch we talked about Frank's "cankles"...
Frank-
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear the good news on your tests! Glad to hear that our prayers are doing many miraculous things! Hope you get a digital clock in your room so you won't get lost in time. heehee...
Susan dear - take care of yourself too! Love to you both!
Patti M.
Good morning Frank and Susan. Hope you guys got some rest last night and are ready for todays test. I know that everything is going to be great and am sending all my positive thoughts to you.
ReplyDeleteTell Stephanie that this blog is the very best as so many people have come to rely on it for the latests updates. She should be on your Christmas list. Hell I think I'm going to put her on mine.
Good luck today and know that everyone is praying and thinking of you both.
Frank M.

Suzie, Thanks for being apart of the blog everyday, just like you have been apart of the Mascaro's everyday of your childhood life living across the street from them. I know that had to be a treat for them as well as you. Here I go again with the food, wasn't MAMAW fried chicken the best! P.S. This cetta on the blog is not the same cetta you are thinking about.
