I've been talking with Miaki and her husband Stan has been in and out of the hospital over the past few months with a very weak heart and recently has not been responding to treatment. He is retaining much fluid, which shows his heart is very weak. Unfortunately, this is common in thals as their hearts weaken over the years.
Stan is a tough guy who has battled back from serious heart problems for many years but this time it is the worst yet. He needs help beyond what the doctors can offer.
I am asking everyone to pray for Stan and Mia and their 12 year old son. Please help them make it through this ordeal.

This is indeed a sad news.
We all pray he gets well real soon and be back with his happy family.
Amen :pray
Take care, Peace!

I am so sad to know all this. :( but i am sure that Stan will be strong as he always was and will pass this too. Miaki and Stan, you will be in my prayers all the time. My God help you. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. God bless you
Take care

Hello Miaki. :flowers
It is very sad to hear about your husband struggles with his health and I wish he gets better soon ,there is only one way to go and it has to be up and up.
This quotation is to give you hope and encouragement.
"Every now and again take
a good look at something not made with hands -mountains,a star, the turn of a stream.There will come to you wisdom,and patience and solace and above all the assurance that you are not alone in the world". Written by Sidney Lovett.
though from a far we are all here praying for Stan and you, the good energy has to count for something in cosmic Kitchen.
Good luck friends.
Much Love Kathy. :hugfriend

Oh no. They will all be in my prayers, Andy. I hope that Stan starts to respond to treatment and he will be ok. :(
Stan is Thal also, Andy?
-
Yes, Stan is also a thal well into his 40's. He has a will of iron that has kept him going for years.
-
Wow. Are he and Miaki both Majors?
-
So sorry to hear that Stan is having such serious problems. My prayers are with him, and Miaki, and their son. Jean

Yes, Miaki and Stan are both majors. I hope everyone realizes that it should be no deterrent to marriage. Love should rule. :happyyes
-
I am so sorry to hear of Stan's heart complications - especially to you, Miaki. I know how hard it is to see a loved one suffer. Let us hope and pray that his "iron will" will get him thru this as well. All our prayers and love are with you now, Miaki, Stan, and family.

Awesome. I don't think it should be a deterrent, either. I think it's great! Who can understand a Major better than another Major? :biggrin

Hello to all,
I am now connected online via the hospital and at Stans bedside. Stan and I have logged on and seen all your beautiful messages and I (Stan) was taken back with all the messages that everybody has posted. Thank you SO MUCH!!
I'm currently doing ok, still in hospital and at times giving the doctors a hard time :biggrin (when they don't listen)
I hope to see you ALL at the next TIF conference in 2008. You have been a huge support for my wife and I thank you for this.
I have faced many challenges in my life and this is just another, and one thing I never give in that easy.
Miaki will give you an update over the next day or so.
Take care and speak with you all soon.
Stan and Miaki

Take care, Peace!

Hi Stan,
It's great to hear from you! I'm looking forward to meeting you In Singapore, so keep giving them docs a hard time. :biggrin

Hello Miaki and Stan!
I hope you are feeling better soon Stan and I KNOW you'll be keeping the medico's on their toes and making sure they are on the ball! All my positive thoughts are with you.
I would just like to let everyone know who hasn't met Stan that is he is very funny guy who is also very STUBBORN and has a great zest for life. He is a wonderful person to know and I really hope he gets through this with flying colours.
The other thing I wanted to share with you is how wonderful Miaki is at caring for him when things aren't going so well. She manages to drop everything and make the important things happen as they are needed. Yay for you Miaki! :cheer
:bighug Big hugs to you both, and I hope to catch up with you soon.
Love Sal.

Hello to all
Thank you so much for your special prayers. Stan has really been touched by you all.
Currently Stan is doing OK. This Wednesday would be one month that we have been in hospital, he has made some improvement but still very weak and needing to get alot of fluid off. I will write more when I get a chance.
Love always
Stan and Miaki

Mia, I pray that Stan gets better and can go home soon. I'm sorry that you guys are going through this. Please keep us updated on his health, and let him know that he will continue to be in the prayers of many people. :hugfriend
