Movie Star

Pete just got out of defibulator surgery and it went very well! He is doing amazing and everyone's spirits are up. He is not only a miracle, and a fighter, but he's a movie star! His film school friend has written a screenplay about him! :)

Jen is asking that no visitors come again today with the exception of family. The best thing you can do for them is continue to send good thoughts and prayers.

On behalf of Jen, thank you for your love and support. As for myself, I can't even believe or comprehend the events of this week. I've never been on a rollercoaster such as this, nor have I ever witnessed such a miracle. I'm honored to have been a small part of it.

Thank you everyone for your comments and support!

    Jen, I hope you and and Pete will still hang out with Tong and me once you go all Hollywood! If not, we'll say we knew you when...

    I have not talked to or seen Pete in over 15 years. When I heard about what he has been through over the past week it really tugged at my heartstrings. You are such a beautiful family. I wish you all the best with Pete's recovery.

    Amazing story. My sister, Suni, told me about this and then tonight I saw this online about hypothermia therapy for cardiac arrest patients: http://www.abc4.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?videoId=95159@ktvx.dayport.com&navCatId=5

    I am so happy for your family!

    There is an interesting article today in the Deseret News about the Hypothermia Procedure used on Cardiac Arrest Victims. In case you want to read about how and why they do it. I thought the timing was perfect.

    Hey Jennifer, was it ever special !!!!!!! exciting!!!!!! to talk to you this morning. THERE ARE WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, to describe it, but i do not have room on your comment space, so happy that Pete is doing ever so great. Glad he got to talk to Sam, and I wish Will would have been available. I can see their eyes when they see the COOKIE bouquet.

    Heidi-
    What no Hollywood parties? No premier parties? No hangin' with George, Brad, Matt (Damon) and the gang? Consider my bubble popped!!!

    Just giving you a hard time I knew that was the case. John let me in on it earlier that a character was to be "based" on me in one of his movies. You know how news gets passed along.

    It doesn't change the fact that I am completely flatter that he would even think if me!
