Shipmate in trouble but improving

Myron Howard, had a heart attack Sunday night a little before midnight.
He
 was taken by ambulance to Kingwood Medical Center where he was 
stabilized and checked out. Turns out the electrical impulses to his 
heart got out of wack, cramped his heart, and in turn he had his heart 
attack. They hooked him up to all me necessary stuff and took good care 
of him.
Yesterday was a great day for Myron!
This morning his 
heart got out of rhythm again. He was transferred by LifeFlight 
downtown where he has been resting comfortably most of the afternoon.
Later in the evening he started to move around, see people, squeezing hands and so forth.
They
 worked with him this afternoon as if he is a new arrival and will be 
doing more tests over the next few days and come up with a plan.
I will keep y'all posted as new info is available and as I feel necessary to share.
Thanks to everyone who has know and has already been checking on Myron.
The above from his son.

	He's a good guy, that Myron. I always enjoyed his posts on this BBS and my interactions with him, especially the political, or perhaps I should say the politically incorrect, topics. I hope he recovers ASAP and continues to enjoy life as much as possible.

	Myron has helped me out before with this BBS, and I am asking the Lord to help him out now. May he ride with Doc at least once in his life.

	I met Myron in the early 90's at the TRITON BASE in Deer Park and also worked with him when he became involved in the Cavalla Restoration Project with John Fredricks, Gil Raynor, Warshot, Roy Ator, Jon Krup, Ric Hedman and others. Myron is aways helpful and cheerful and optimistic. I pray that the doctors get him restored soon.
