Title: prayers, juju needed
Post by: Rebel on December 16, 2008, 09:27:04 PM

Granddad is in the hospital- been about 20 years in the making but a long story short, they're doing a vein graft to try to improve circulation enough to "jump start" his liver and kidney functions, and to get enough blood in a leg so it doesn't have to be amputated.  Scheduled for 0700 tomorrow morning

A heart bypass is needed, but they need contrasting dyes, but because his kidneys and liver are pretty much shot thanks to alcohol induced diabetes, that won't work.

So, send a quick one up for Charles Eugene Reese Sr today if ya would guys- this one's a Hail Mary, and all indications are that if there's a complication, I'll be wearing black for Christmas. 

Thanks in advance,
Charles "Rebel" Reese

for the record- he worked on F-51's and 86's during Korea.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys.

He made it through surgery "with flying colors" according to the doc. 

Waiting on recovery, and then to see what effect the surgery had for him. 

Here's hopin.

Thanks again guys.   :salute
