Rest in Peace, Rodney 10-9-2012 
Rodney is now in the battle for his life, against that monster we call CANCER!
Welcome to Rodney's Room. It has been provided to keep our friends and family updated on Rodney's health and life.
I am Rodney Reeves, I'm 42 years old. My birthday is November 19th. I am married to Mickey and have two sons..Ryan-21 and Sean-19.
I have a lot of health issues that I am dealing with right now. I have Congestive Heart Failure, Tachacardia, a mild case of Cardiomyapathy, and epilepsy. I often get asperated pneumonia also. The epilepsy was caused by the extreme amounts of medications that I had been on for a very long time. My doctor says that if all goes well, I could be off the Depakote in a couple of years.
In November of 2003, I had 3 seizures at home, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. I had 2 more there, then I had a heart attack that caused me to be on full life support for 9 days. I got pneumonia while on life support. Since then, I've had another heart attack and a stroke. I suffer from memory loss. I am no longer allowed to drive, nor do I want to. I rely heavily on my great family for lots of care and support!
