It has taken me a while to post because I keep trying to understand the word terminal. I know what it means but I cannot believe it no matter how long I look at it. Annie we love you and will continue to pray for you. All our love to you to Rick.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

You and Annie have so much to be proud of. Prayers for you both navigating through these emotions through the hollidays. I struggle to believe this but trust you will make the best of road ahead. I don't really like how what I've written sounds, but I want you both to know I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Was fortunate enough to meet Annie several years back. Have always cherished her thoughts and memories of discussion we shared at participating car shows. News of her illness, especially here on the 25th, is very sad to say the least. Cynthia and I are sending you wishes for the very best with thoughts & prayers of a speedy recovery. We're pulling for you Annie & Rick!!!

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Melody and I are very sad to hear Annie is sick, horrible news, I don't know exactly what to say, she is strong and we all pray that she will over come this, we will be thinking of both of you, we are only a couple hours away so I am willing to help in any way you need me.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

You two have been in our prayers and thoughts since you first posted the news on Facebook.

We need a Christmas Miracle. Looking forward to seeing you both soon, especially Annie and in perfect health.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Rick, I hate this news. One of my favorite things about our trips to MCACN was stopping by to see you and Annie, going out for dinner, drinks, laughing, joking and having a great time. I always looked so forward to seeing Annie. The photo you posted of her with Hollywood lying by her side was so touching, I know he is of great comfort to her. We love you guys. You are both in our prayers.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Rick posted this 10 hours ago on facebook...

"Today Annie made a nice improvement and her doctor says they are getting a handle on her infections. Her stats looked much better today, sat in a chair all day and even ate for the first time since last Thursday. Maybe I will finally be able to sleep tonight.

I want to thank all of our friends and family from the bottom of my heart. The amount of concern, prayers and offers for help has been overwhelming. I need to run home twice a day to take care of our boys and many of you have offered to sit with Annie while I run home. This really takes a huge load off of me since I know that someone is there watching over her even though up until today she was usually sleeping. It is tragedies like this that really bring out the best in people and for that Annie and I are forever grateful. Thank you!"

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Woohoo!!!!!!!! Way to go Annie!!!

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

This is Fantastic news.....We will keep praying. Get some well needed sleep Rick.

Obviously your prayers are working. Keep up the good work, we are.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Hope and good news are a great thing. Wishing for more good news for your family as always.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

THAT IS GREAT NEWS!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Thank you everyone. I will not leave this situation as the same man as I was two weeks ago for a multitude of reasons but this has certainly given me a whole new outlook on life. Our friends have just been amazing to say the least and it has not gone unnoticed. Our car family is like no other!

Annie's doctor was in this morning and was VERY optimistic and for the first time talked about the future in a good way instead of talking terminal. This gave us both a lot of hope. They are getting a handle on her infection which was what was taking her life. If she can kick that then there is a lot of hope for her.

Again, words cannot express the gratitude that I feel for all that you guys have done. To this point Annie has little idea of the outpouring she has received. She HATES attention and has been too I'llto read all the posts or Facebook so this will be a big boost for her when she gets home. We are hoping maybe in a week.

Thanks also to our customers who have been great especially knowing their car has not been worked on. We love all you guys!
Rick and Annie

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Such GREAT news Rick. I was just about to bother you with another email to ask how things were going. Everything should be positive from now on.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

More great news....we are all pulling for you Both. IT WILL BE GREAT TO GET BACK HOME.
A new outlook on life is a humbling experience.....this will bring you both even closer.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

That is great news! There is no doubt, prayer works! Let's all keep it up.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

This was hopefully a turning point for Annie. Memorial Hospital had said no to any pet visits until i reminded them that we have been on call with this hopital 24/7 when they needed our therapy dog help. This time it was our turn. The head nurse also remembered Hollywood being brought i to her mom's room at a competing hospital when her mom was dying. He could not help her mom but did wonders for the family. Annie getting to have her fur baby sleep with her meant the world to us. Her gastrologist came in and was not happy about Hollywood being there and then realized she has a picture of all of us dresses as the Wizard of Oz characters on her phone. Amazing how many people know him. Regardless i think he worked wonders.

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

A best friend.....companion and healer......Priceless.
WHAT A Great Hospital to allow Hollywood to visit.

Thanks for sharing Rick.

Dan

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Great pic. I've been wondering when Hollywood would make an appearance! Hope to see you both (or all three of you) soon.

Re: Annie Hartweg

... Hope things keep getting better

Re: Annie Hartweg
