Lumping on more thoughts and prayers... We are with you @Shannon!
 
Thoughts and prayers to you all...
 
For those local to the north Carolina area you have heard of ior met @Shannon and his wife diana. They were at the falls lake meet up last year and have been on the Charleston run for the past two years. Last year they both rode with us on our boat and this year they took their own 19 footer. They are genuine people who are friendly and willing to help. We meet them when shannon posted on the forum the spring of 2016 wanting help learning his bran new boat that he had never splashed. My family and I met him and diana at the ramp to falls to show them a few pointers for their boat and then we were gonna go our separate ways. We ended up spending the entire day with then and then invited them on our boat for Charleston. Ever since then they have been nonstop jetboating!

On Sunday Diana had a heart attack and an a tumor on her adrenal gland that is making things harder than normal. She has been in icu since Sunday and can not have any visitors. Shannon asked for prayers as the doctors try to get a handle on things.

Ok, then. Lumping on MORE prayers and thoughts.

Take that, stupid heart problem.

Hang in there @Shannon.
