Jack is doing great!

Thanks for all your prayers. Jack needs them because he doesn't have a lot of sense when it comes to health issues. Oddly enough, Jack's brother, that happens to look very much like him, had a heart attack, and they were both scheduled for surgery at the same time, in the same hospital, with the same surgical group! To make matters worse, they were both "J" Griffin (Jacky and Johnny). But the hospital was on top of it, and taking extra precaution. They were put in rooms directly across from each other, and after laying flat for 6 hours they both wandered to the hall way wearing their hospital gowns, and dragging those IV poles! They were caught at the nurses’ station, but whined their way into going down to the cafeteria. Course they had to pull one trick on the nurses. Before they got their meds, they had to state their name and birthday twice. One nurse came to his brothers room, gave him his meds, and THEN asked him his name and birth date ,so his brother gave him his real name but Jack's birthday.....she looked like she was going to cry because she couldn't figure out if the chart was wrong, or if she just gave meds to the wrong Griffin! She got that look of fire when he told her he was just kidding! Any way, so far so good. In fact, the surgery was Tuesday, and Jack coached Sophie and Olivia's ball team on Friday. I did have to get on to him for "running", and reminded him if his "plugs" popped out, he could bleed out in less than 5 minutes. His reply? "Oh, you just worry too much". .....so yeah, we NEED prayer for this knuckle head! But he and his brother are both doing great! Love, Sandi
