Nitro Mike - Get well soon!
Our best prayers go out to Nitro Mike Whittington as he has undergone heart surgery Tuesday, October 30th. Nitro Mike is a strong guy so we are sure he will be ok - but we miss having him around the shop lately!
One of Nitro’s favorite seasons is Halloween - so we are very happy you pulled through surgery with no complications!
Update 10.25.7
Nitro pulled through ok for the first phase… Nitro will undergo open heart surgery on Tuesday for a triple bypass.
Update 10.30.7
Nitro pulled through open heart surgery today. He was scheduled for a triple bypass but ended up having a quadruple bypass. Nitro is recovering well. Nitro will be in the hospital for about a week.
Update 11.3.7
Spoke to Nitro tonight. Spirits were up and up, but sounded tired. He enjoys reading his blog here on SCH’s website so keep the notes coming! Nitro gets out on Monday.
Update 11.16.7
Nitro called today to give an update. Nitro had to go back into the hospital last Tuesday due to some complications. They had to open him up again and fix a few things. Nitro feels a lot better now and hopes to get out of the hospital on Monday. He is in good spirits and sounds much better! Nitro has made a goal to make an appearance at the Brushless Nats on December 1st! We are all pulling for ya Nitro!
Update 11.25.7
Spoke to Nitro again tonight. What a difference. He sounds energized and great! Good to hear that Nitro is back on his feet! Nitro still has a challenging road ahead as his lifestyle has completely changed - healthy choices from here on out! Nitro lost about 40 pounds and is on the road to recovery. Keep up the good work Nitro!
