GTX John????
 

I don't have contact info for Jon or Robbie and was wondering if anyone knows Big John's condition after Wed's surgery.

Thanks.

Re: GTX John????
 

I was wondering the same thing. Waiting for word.

Jon js is posting on face book.
Wow never thought this would be so hard sitting next to dad talking to him with him not responding.
Yeah he's ok. Just this is really hard for me to see. I've never seen sit still or not talk. Lol

Thank you all for everything. Dad is going great. He was released out of the ICU yesterday. The doctors said that he is making a quicker recovery than they thought. We will be in the hospital for another three or four days because of how weak he still is. He did walk around yeasterday with the help of a walker. Today we are trying to get him to walk without if he can. Sorry it took so long for me to post a update on him. Its been hard to leave his side and go get the computer. Thank you all for your thoughts and prays!!! I will keep you informed more now that i got the computer.

Great News!

Re: GTX John????
 

Today the the doctor said that he might be released tomorrow depending on how he feels tomorrow. Dad walked more today but had to use the walker. Dad said he still feels really weak and would not feel safe leaving tomorrow so we will see. If we did leave the doctor said that we will have to stay close to the hospital and return in 4 days to get a check up. I know dad wants to race next week but I do not believe he will be in the stocker for a few months. He might be able to race his corvette at the local track but that's it till he gets the ok from the doctor. Again thank you all for everything.

Re: GTX John????
 

Glad to hear he is doing well. I 'll bet he is back in the stocker sooner than you think,LOL

Re: GTX John????
 

It seems that when a person's appetite for food returns after an illness,that's a good sign. When a person's appetite for racing returns, thats an even stronger sign. Be sure and share all these messages and well wishes with him. Also, John, look up Psalm 138:8.That's your new life verse. P.S. Jon, you did a great job at Pomona. You nailed down some great packages. Keep at it. There's nothing wrong with racing a wagon!

Re: GTX John????
 

Race his CORVETTE ???????? I thought he was a MoPar guy? Glad he is doing much better.

Re: GTX John????
 

Jon,

Glad to hear Dad is doing well, make sure he takes his time coming back ... Take care ....

Re: GTX John????
 

It was great meeting you guys last nov at the strip.....You tell the old man to get up and get walking and pinching the nurses....all the best wishes and prayers for a quick and speedy recovery Bryan stk 5010 from South Dakota

Re: GTX John????
 

This is truly great news!!!! Been thinking about him since Pomona, hoping his procedure would have a good outcome... You will hear that Mr. Irving's heart is certainly in the right place if you ever meet him. I think it's paid off. :)

Re: GTX John????
 

Here's hoping for a swift and full recovery. Most of the nurses here are fat and ugly so a speedy recovery is mandatory.

Get Well

Re: GTX John????
 

I am so very grateful and yet at the same time humbled by the prayers of all my New and Old Friends.........I believe it is only because of everyone's prayerful intercessions that I am ALIVE!

I tossed out the pain meds and require neither a walker or wheelchair any longer. My doctors are amazed by the incredibly fast recovery from major surgery and also that my heart's performance is back to better
than normal for a man my age. Prior to my surgery........I was not expected to be
a good risk for surgery. Now the latest Cardioologist tell me my heart performs as well as most guys in their 30's!

I believe God has given me an opportunity for renewal and fresh commitment to my faith....as well
as an opportunity for fresh perspective and walk with HIM.

THANKS AGAIN,

John Irving

PS: Planning to be at Fontana racing end of week.

Re: GTX John????
 

Way to go John.
Keep living the life man...

Re: GTX John????
 

John, I join you in praising God and am so thankful for your rapid recovery. Live large brother and hope to see and race with you this summer.

Re: GTX John????
