Ford Finscéal

The Fishing. Cooking over a open fire! Amazing Sky at night! The little ones. Sitting - relaxing. Scenes. Lounge. Swimming. The Pat! Family. The Fresh Air. The peace. The time. Ahhhhh ! Summer Vacation...... We finally had some time to get away and spend some family time to regen the batteries and enjoy family.

Just to let you know that I spoke to Mary this morning and that she plans to take Mark home today. His condition has improved therefore he is feeling much better. It will take a while to recover and he is feeling really tired right now but in time he should be back to his old self.

When i reported that Mark had had the angioplasti. The information told to me was incorrect. They were not able to do it. He continues to have problems breathing. Mary took him back into the hospital yesterday (Saturday) where they gave him nitro which made him feel much better. They are keeping in until Monday at the earliest for observation and monitoring. I will try and keep everyone posted.

I just called Fenwick to see how Mark was and i was surprised to see he came home today (Tuesday). Mark had a Angioplasty. He is very tired and happy to be home.

Well Happy Birthday Dean Ford, but before there was a Dean Ford there was my dad. Bob, Uncle Bob, Uncle Poppa, Poppa or simply Dad (just don't call him "Late for dinner.") he has made August 12th a day to remember. I want to thank you for not calling me at my Ontario birth time since I moved to the west coast. Enjoy your day. Love Rob

Please keep Mark and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from a heart attack. Mark, husband of Mary (Ford)Simmonds and co-host of the Fabulous Fenwick Fordfest is recovering in Hamilton General hospital. No visitors at this point please.

COngratulations to Nikki on a great idea for further family bonding. Uncle Al
