As a retired nurse with 30+ years experience with heart patients, I'm so impressed at how much Mrs. Rowe learned and retained about the treatment her husband received in the hospital. It's a lot to understand and she learned quite a bit! Keep feeling better Mr. Rowe!

[@robertwylie4278]

Peggy is a treasure. Mike is truly a product of good parents.

[@timothysayer3405]

My mom had breast cancer, got past that. Then had a brain aneurysm. She didn't make it. She's been gone about 7 years. Dad's still here, dealing with prostate problems and some other issues. FYI, I am 46. I'm glad your dad made it, and your mom seems well. We love you in Niles, Michigan. I've enjoyed your content in all forms.

[@JeffBreyer]

My grandparents had heart attacks within weeks of each other during covid. They both passed during that time. It was hard though, unlike so many others in Ontario, Canada, who could not see them before they left us, my family was able to see them and my mother was able to take care of them as they were in and out of the hospital. They're both gone now but I know where they are. I pray for the continued healing to all of you.

[@libbydaddy8610]

I could listen to these folks talk to each other until I fall asleep. Love it.

[@sapl1964]

Its like the family, 'I was promiced?' 60 years later, I tried,... Didn't work out that way for me. I made BAAAD decisions!

[@dkdeady17]

The entire Rowe family (and that includes beloved Chuck too) are such joy-givers! Plus, you demonstrate goodness, the benefits of hard work, and you make us want to be better people. Praying for Mr. Rowe’s restored health. 🙌❤️🙏🏽

Your relationship with your Mom is so special. You are both so funny and both of you are so lucky to have each other. God Bless.

[@RedheadedMusic]

So glad your Dad is doing so much better. What a blessing. Wow, my husband just said that back in the late ‘70s when he was in Coast Guard… the survival rate for heart attack victims was 10%.. now that we have defibrillator’s it has jumped to 60%. So grateful my husband had paramedics very close by when he had his heart attack three years ago in 2021.

[@loranna1118]

God love both of your parents. So blessed to have them both. As sweet as can be.

I’m lucky to have my 85 year old father and 83 year old mother. Thanks God! They still carry on with Gardening, all yard work, split and stack wood, limited driving cooking for the church, etc. Blessed!

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, poor Dad! This is the first I am learning the news!

[@danzero50]

What a blessing it is that you still have your parents. My mother died in 1998 from a massive heart attack at 72 years old, and my dad died in 2005 from prostrate and bladder cancer at 80 years old. I miss them everyday. Three years ago my wife had triple bypass surgery,at 62, and came very close to death. Thank God she pulled through!

[@willindacalvert6589]

I have had four open heart surgeries for valve replacement and aneurysm. All of it stemmed from a congenital birth defect. I have stents due to scar tissue in grafts (replacements for arteries )in my heart. I can partially understand Peggy and John's experience. I have never had a heart attack though, thank God. . I have an awesome cardiologist who listens to me and goes above and beyond to keep me going. I am 43. My congenital valve defect was not discovered until I was 22. I am now in the process of getting considered for heart transplant list at Vanderbilt. Keeping all of you in my prayers. Thanks for letting us into your lives. You always brighten my day. ❤

My pops, William, passed in 1996 (b.1933) at 63. Melanoma got him after 25 years as a City of Portland grounds keeper. He'd have been 91 this June. My ma is still kickin' at 84, though. I call her a couple times a day, from the road (I drive longhaul); she lives in northern California, and I'm in Harrisburg, PA, today. What a fantastic conversation that provides a beautiful view into a precious community of lives lived to the fullest. Thank you to all. Prayers for John's recovery.

[@letycampos5295]

Your mother is so sweet, you're blessed to have both your parents, thank you for sharing them with us. My dad is 99 years old and in fair health. Walks and shower on his own. Small meals throughout the day. I live with him and am his only caregiver. Truly a blessing.

[@gracecase998]

My 88 year old dad had massive heart attack two years ago. 4 stents later he is doing ok at 90. We were so blessed a neighbor was off duty medic and ambulance was real close. We have excellent hospitals where we are. It all lined up to save his life. I am glad you Dad is still here and on the mend. It is a scary and exhausting thing to go through with a family member.

[@jerisharpe906]

So sorry to hear about John's heart attack, but I thank God for bringing him back to his family. Been there with my husband a little over 23 years ago. Had open heart surgery, 5 days later he stopped breathing. At fisrt they didn't know what was wrong with him.They put him on a ventilator & found out he picked up E-Coli Bacterial Pneumonia & said they may have to air lift him to the University of Michigan hospital but didn't know if he would make the trip. In a coma for a month, t hen to e y put him in a nursing home, who g as ve him no therapy as he wasn't approved for Medicare Disability as he was only 57 yts old, so I brought him home & had therapists come in. Only problem was he was self employed we had an Industrial Service Company, so no income until Social Secutity 5 months later.

Lost my dad to a massive coronary in September of 2010. He had just gotten back from buying Christmas for my girls, got out of his truck, walked around, and dropped. Lost my mom March 3, 2016 to lung cancer, even though we knew it was coming, it wasn't any easier. Enjoy every day you get to call mom and pops because it doesn't last forever.

Had not heard about your dad until now. So glad to hear he is doing so great. May the Lord give them both more time together. I just love these talks with your mom. I miss talking with my mom. Do cherish the time with them. One of my favorite memories was when she called me at work to tell me of a squirrel. She had a deck put on back of the house and squirrels would come off the tree onto the banister and peek into the kitchen window. She hated squirrels. She had the tree cut down. One day a squirrel was being chased and it had stopped where the tree had been and looked around for it, then ran off to some other tree. I laughed hysterically trying not to create a scene in the office. Miss that, however she would not be pleased with all the major topics these days. So glad to see & hear that both of your parents are doing fine.

[@dturk1022]

Today I took my 88-year-old mother-in-law to the local hospital ER, she was released to go home about 6 hours later. She quipped about "tell my kids not to celebrate yet, I'm still alive and kickin'!" She was joking of course but, in that moment, I was reminded again that humor is vital to life. Mrs. Rowe, I so enjoy listening to you. Mike, you're pretty good too!

My Grandfather was quite a character. Whenever he left the house his mantra was “spectacles, testicles, wallet & watch” to check to see if he had everything! “They’re two old ladies”! 😂

Listening to this incident reminds me of my heart attack 20 years ago. Six admissions that year, five with life support, the last was "just take me" to the wife. The first was "no reason found". Two stents second trip, then a third stent the next visit. Mike by the way I'm 20 years older than you. For the first 10 years lived 6 houses up Kenwood Ave from the sheep farm that became Overlea High School. Lived on a Bay Tributary for the next eight years. Navy for four years then back to Baltimore for the next 20, did Essex Community College, U of B and then Towson University for a BS in Business. I'm now in Winchester VA for 37 years. Enjoy you shows, keep it up.

[@christinecolborne2223]

I recently went through this with my sister, who was in the ICU for two weeks before she passed. I posted very clear and precise updates on Facebook every day and to me, that was the easiest way to get the word out. She had so many friends and we have so much family that I just didn’t have time to call and text or email everybody. So in my mind, this is one of the positives about social media.

[@frederickknapp5340]

I must say, my 2nd heart attack was terrifying. but the worst was in the surgery room I am lying naked with nothing covering me and 5 women prepping me for surgery. The lead nurse while tying down my arms asked if I have ever thought I would be in this position. Now I could laugh at this but not any normal thing about 5 women around me while I am naked. The attack and the surgery were something but this is my most memorable.

My husbad and I listen to your podcast when we drive to shop around Oklahoma. We Love Ya'll so much. We were so concerned when your dad had his first scare on his health before his attack. My husband has AFIB/VFIB and while coaching girls basketball, he went into cardiac arrest. He had a new assistant coach who had been a medic in the military who helped save him. We went to the hospital and he went into arrest 2 more times. He now has a defibulator/pace maker. He fell in Nov. 2023. He is coaching again. I live in absolute fear as I know each day is a major gift. We are praying for you all. You Mom is the very best! You and Chuck too...Barb in Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping round the plains...lots of dusting here. Blessings
