NOTE: This morning I received a telephone call from my dad and he told me that my brother Kevin took a major turn for the worse with his health last night when his difibrulator didn't kick in when he had a heart incident. He was in the hospital getting checked out by the doctors because the difibrulator has gone off a couple of times last week. They had to shock his heart 10 times to revive him and he bloodied his lip and tongue from biting them as they were doing this. They did a heart cath after thickening up his blood with plasma and the doctors said the blockage is just too great for them to do anything. So at this point he is hooked up to a ventilator in a "coma" state and they don't hold out much hope. Christine and I will be leaving for Pensacola, FL on Sunday morning to be with my family this week. This is not a surprise since we've known Kevin's situation has been touch and go for so long. I'm just glad I got to spend some quality time with him a few months ago knowing this day would come. Please pray for us as we go down this road and that whatever happens to Kevin would be as painless for him as possible. THANK YOU!
