Update on my brother Dick
It's been a rough week for my brother Dick and for our family. He made it
through the surgery to put a patch on his aorta last Friday. But he has been on a respirator since. For the most part they have been keeping him heavily sedated. Otherwise his BP goes sky high. He has had a Cat scan that looks normal. He was off the respirator for a while yesterday and could squeeze Jeanetta's hand. But he still has a lot of gunk in his chest and since he isn't able to cough it out he is back on the respirator as they can suction it out with that. He was able to talk a little yesterday and knew who his family was and that they were there. So thank you all for you good wishes and for your prayers. Just please don't quit quite yet. We still have a long way to go. Love you guys Jo
