Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Well guys, our buddy Randy is back in the hospital with Leg and Knee problems, looks like another surgery,,,,,,,,,,but while i was at lunch, Butch left me a voice mail that the hospital is telling him that Randy has had a Heart Attack and they are moving him to another Hospital. As soon as i know more, i will update!

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Tell Randy to take it easy and get well soon!! Saw him at Indy and he wasn't getting around very well.

OK Just got off the phone with butch, Randy did as reported by the Hospital, have a Heart Attack, he is awake and alert and as we speak, he is in route to Gadsdan Ala to a hospital that is equiped to do Heart Precedures and hopefully Randy will just need a stent .
As for his Knee, seems it may have been infected for about 4 years, every since it was replaced. However the Heart Problem has to be taken care of first.
I will let you guys know something as soon as i hear any news and hopefully it will be good. Keep Randy in your prayers!

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Woody -- Tell Randy his friends in both the Garden and Keystone states are pulling for him................

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Woodro,

Mr. Big Stuff is one of everybody's favorite people. Keep us posted. How many folks would drive 50 miles out of their way to bring a stranded racer a wheel bearing -- he did that for us one time.

Needless to say, we're praying for him.

Later,
Ed

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Painter talked with Randy this Morning and he told painter that they were waiting until Monday before any decisions were made. That makes me feel good about the situation, because if his Heart Attack was a very serious one, believe me, they would not be waiting. The infection in the Knee is another issue they need to get under control! Lets all keep our fingers crossed!

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

This is good news. Randy, stop pinching those nurses butts! Ahh, on second thought, go right ahead! Jim

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

OK Guys and Gals, just got off the phone with Randy, they were supposed to do the chemical stress test today but upon more test before the stress test was administerd, they now are saying his Kidneys have failed, now this was coming from Randy and guys he doesn't sound good at all, maybe i can find out more when i talk to the boys, or Judy.
Here is his cell Number, i know he would love to hear from of his friends, 706-266-6119 maybe i can get the hospital info when i talk with his Family!

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne

captain jack

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

we just got off the phone with Judy. I told her about all the post on the Class Racer forum. She was so touched by the thoughts and prayers of everyone she started crying.

Randy is sleeping alot, but when he wakes up he wants to know who has called. His kidneys are working at about 25%, the dye they used checking his heart hurt his kidneys.

They are going to take a laptop to the hospital for him. Judy thinks his e-mail is bigstuffracing@yahoo.com. I will talk to Judy tomorrow if the e-mail address is wrong I will find out the correct one. He can't access his web site from the hospital, so she asks everyone to send to this one.


Keep Randy, Judy and their great family in your prayers.

JoAnn Diem

p.s. we are going to get the hospital address and encourage everyone to send cards... jack

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Randy is such a great guy to be around. We'll pray for the best results.

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

I talked to Buch a few hours ago and he told me the reason Randy sounds so weak is because he has been in the bed now for 2 weeks. They are getting him up and walking him some. The Doctors assured Butch and David that he was not in a serious state yet. They said his Kidneys will come around and the infection in his leg is looking better. His Heart is doing ok but as soon as he is able, they want to do a stress test, actually the Doctors , 3 of them by the way, assured Butch and David not to worry, the big guy will be improving! The Boys feel a lot better now! Keep up the Prayers and the well wishes!

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Great news Woodro. My wife and I met Randy this year early on Thursday morning at the Gatornationals when he offered us a towel to dry the dew off of our seats. Then he and I started a conversation during Stock qualifying and he was such a genuinely nice guy and very proud of Butch. My wife and I are praying for him.

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Well i just got off the phone with Butch and over night there has been a change for the worst for Randy, now he has alung problem and he is in ICU, seems like every time we get good news, something of a worst matter takes place. I am not sure about this hospital, seems like Butch has second doubts also, but my friends Randy is not doing well at all!:(

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Woody -- Sounds to me like Randy needs to be in a hospital where the cure won't hurt 'em........too many things going wrong -- maybe you can convince his family to move him to another facility....soon ! !

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

woodro... any BIGGG news ?
we are intensely worried about our large friend...

Jack & MJ

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

Randy is on a Dialisis machine and in about 3 days time, they pumped 24lbs of fluid out of his body, his kidneys have all but failed, one of his lungs had partial failure due to the fluid, nothing on the Heart or leg as of now. The fluid was probably causing the Heart to have an irregular beat. Randy is a very sick man. He has lost a lot of weight and Butch and the Family are going to see if they can feed him some food, if approved by the Doctors.

Re: Mr. Big Stuff Randy Payne
 

We are sending out prayers to BIGGG and his family -
Hope things improve for him-
