DENNIS INGRAM (aka MUDMANDENNY) [ View ] [ DINGO46@ZOOMINTERNET.NET ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] MCDONALD, Ohio

Like Jeff Hobbs, I thought that this time of year I`d be posting wondering who would be going to PPG Nats in Columbus. however, life can change your plans quite unexpectedly, as the Judge and Shine recently found out. On June 19th, while undergoing a procedure to stent a cerebral anuerysm, my wife of 40 years suffered a stroke. I`m not posting this for sympathy, She`ll be home July 12th, after only 23 days. walking witha cane and still facing outpatient therapy. While prayers for her continued recovery will be appreciated, my hope here is that each of you will take time to appreciate the things that are really important to us. streetrodding and carshows can become pretty insignificant in a real hurry.God bless you all, and please keep your priorities in order.

I like to pray specifically (although He knows who I am talking about) but also, I have placed you, your bride and your family in our prayer circle at church and you will be prayed for 24/7. May Almighty God place you in the cup of His precious hand, protect your wife, you and your family, heal her, and bring you all peace beyond all understanding. You will remain in my prayers and the prayers of all members of the Creekmore family. Please e-mail me at creekmore@ulm.edu and give me her name, your home address as our folks may want to write to her wishing her God's speed in her recovery. God Bless you my friend.

That is an accomplishment! I thought a lot about what you said about appreciating what we have. I also have a great wife who actually talked me into buying the 32 four years ago. I am guilty as sin of taking this great woman for granted. I hope and pray that your wife can have a full recovery and the two of you can share many more memories. God Bless and tell her the Streetrodding. com community is really pulling for her.

THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS SITE AND THE FANTASTIC FOLKS THAT POPULATE IT.

RiverRat [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Leadwood, Missouri   Posted by tlp1968  -  07/12/2007 04:46 AM Gosh Hotrodgene, you have been through so much. Thank the Lord you and your wife are doing so much better. I can say that prayer works and your cancer story reminded me. We had a friend of my husband who developed tongue cancer (never smoked or chewed) and we thought for sure we were going to lose him. Well we prayed all the time for him and I am happy to say he is doing very well and is actually back to work. They nearly lost everything financially but we told the devil to take his hands off of him, and he did. Stories of hope and triumph are also good medicine. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield, Illinois Charter Member since August 2003   Posted by MUDMANDENNY  -  07/14/2007 12:14 AM To our dear friends at streetrodding.com,---You are now dear friends because we are going through something together, I have seen and responded myself to pray for others in need on this site I know how you all pull together in times of need. However, I was blown away by the sheer numbers and immediacy of the responses. Your sincere prayers and stories of encouragment are truly comforting. Audrey is progressing nicely, and I feel has been ahead of the curve in her recovery from the beginning. She has been home a little over a day now and is re-adjusting well. Outpatient therapy starts Monday, with the doctors estimation of walking w/o a cane and resumption of driving in 6-8 months. I let her read these posts this evening and she was deeply touched by them. we both want to thank you so much and look forward to meeting all of you in Springfield next year. Shine, I estimate that she`s only days away from regaining her ability to poke the porch dog. God bless you all, Audrey and Dennis MUDMANDENNY [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] MCDONALD, Ohio   Posted by flagator79  -  07/14/2007 02:05 AM God Bless You guys also. Am so pleased with the progress that is being made. Audrey, push yourself and get well fast so you don't have to wonder what Dennis is up to. This is great news. May you both have a restful and peaceful weekend. Don't forget who is doing the healing here -- and it isn't the doctor but the Great Physician Himself.
