Hi, My name is Laura Kaplan Parrella, I am Vic's daughter. My father has been in the hospital since 3/3. He went in with an exacerbation and it turned out he has congestive heart failure. He had a stent inserted and he is breathing much better. Tomorrow he will be going for a test to determine if he needs a pacemaker or defibrillator or both.He spent his birthday there. But he is feeling much better.He figured you might be wondering where he went. My email is lauradrops@aol.com if anyone has questions or wants to tell him anything because he is without his computer.

Laura, thanks for letting us know about your Dad. I too had no computer for the 3 weeks in the hospital in February and I really missed that form of keeping in touch. Thoughts and prayers that all goes well tomorrow. Tell Vic we will miss him and look forward to his return to us via computer

Laura...... THANK YOU for letting us know!!! I've been wondering! I've known your Dad for a bit; I've a good deal of respect for him; he's a true gentleman. Would you please let him know that we're thinking and praying for his speedy recovery and release and that we love him! Vic's been one of the family here for quite awhile. Also; would you please let us know what hospital he's in if it appears he'll be there for another week or so? Love, thoughts and prayers to your entire family; and please give him my love.... and.....tell him I've sent Sarah over for a bit.... Love, Jackie

This is Laura again. Thanks to all for the wonderful wishes and concern for my Dad. He is an amazing person. I will pass along all your well wishes. He will be in the hospital for at least another 5 days and possibly longer. He is in Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola,NY. It warms my heart that he has such nice friends on this forum. He always tells me that you are all very special.

hug4U VIC!!!!! I hope that you are feeling better real soon and won't need any more surgery...or get a strange St. Patrick's Day breakfast, green eggs and ham, . Laura, thank you for letting us know about our friend being in the hospital. I am going to check and see if the hospital he is in has e-cards that we can send him. I really liked getting them when I was in the hospital. I didn't have a computer with me but my sister brought her smart phone and I was able to communicate with that and then the cards were wonderful. Give Vic a big hug and tell him we're saying prayers for him.. Love, Sue PS. I couldn't find an e-mail address for Vic, but did get the Hospital address. It's Winthrop University Hospital Patient: Vic Kaplan 259 First St. Mineola, NY 11501

Dear Laura - Please tell your dad he is very much missed! There is always a little "empty spot" when someone isn't posting. Prayers and healing thoughts are on their way. Thanks for taking the time to keep your dad's cyber-friends posted. I'm sure this is a stressful time for you.

Wow, Chris, you've been in the hospital a very long time and I didn't know it. Maybe someone could fill me in?
I get scared every time I go into the hospital. I know I go in for a reason but like you say, new bugs....
Good luck to you!

Hi Folks -- I'M HOME!!!! T.G. for that. Got home late Thursday nite and feeling pretty good but shaky. This is my first day downstairs on the computer and thanks all for the great wishes and prayers. This is the finest group of friends that an old fogey could ever hope for.
My little Peanut, Laura really did a bangup job checking out things for me on the forum. She is just so sweet, and a really bright girl too. Love her too much. Thanks again for the prayers. -- Vic
