Annie Hartweg
 

I want to thank all of Annie and my car friends for the overwhelming outpouring of calls, texts and emails. I have not been able to answer most calls but have answered every email and text as it has been very busy.

For those that don't know or don't flow Facebook, she had been sick with the flu since Thanksgiving. I took her into urgent care a week ago Monday after I noticed a very distended and rock hard stomach. They wrote it off as being just part of the flu and sent her home. On Sunday morning she collapsed while trying to get a drink of water so we rushed her via ambulance to the ER. After doing several tests it was determined she had a terrible septic infection, internal bleeding, pneumonia, one lung that could not operate correctly due to all the fluid in her chest and belly, an irregular heartbeat, and a failing liver. They have been working nonstop since Sunday morning to get the infection under control before they can address all the other issues. Needless to say she is very very sick and will be spending Christmas day in the hospital. She never complained prior to collapsing other than feeling sick with the flu and hated the attention.

Again I thank you everyone for all the prayers and well wishes which mean a lot to both of us.
Rick and Annie

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Rick, give her our best and speedy recovery......keep us posted!

Re: Annie Hartweg
 

Thanks everyone for your kind words as well as your thoughts and prayers. Annie has always consider her car family like brothers and sisters and we have made great friends through the sYc board. Unfortunately this is terminal. We did not see it coming and presented no obvious signs before Thanksgiving and by then the damage was too extensive. I am very unsure of the future but suffice to say i will be taking some time off from the shop and concentrate on Annie. I have to make the best of what i have left with her. Thank you all for your support. Merry Christmas to everyone.
