what seems to be occurring.
He is slightly awake. He has gestured. However, his heart is not /cannot / will not run with out the machines. (For Now?)
Personally, I do not wish to be just another person out of dozens asking her all the painful details. I told her that we all on the sign boards are passing multitudes of prayers to her and Joe. Yes, she is exhausted in every way.
I pray he heals so he can get back to being a flaming liberal. His posts stimulate us to think about what is going on around us.
Here is what she said,
Joe is in the cardiac critical care unit at Sacred Heart Hospital . When I spoke with the cardiologist this morning he said the prognosis is not good. The heart attack damaged his heart badly. Joe has a balloon pump helping his heart to pump the blood to give his heart a rest. He is on a ventilator and lots of drugs. They have his hands & feet bound to keep him from trying to pull out the tubes. We did find out today that he was only unconscious for a minute or two, so no brain damage. During the midway visit he was able to open his eyes and acknowledge people. He was getting a bit frustrated because the tube wouldn't allow him to talk. He would mouth the words water & I can't breathe.
They are keeping him pretty sedated . I am going to try & see the Dr. tomorrow morning. I am going to bed now; I didn't get much sleep last night in the hospital waiting room.
Thank you for the report Hennie.
This is a recent development, so I need your years of fan knowledge to get me up to date. Shift it into high gear now buddy! )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
