Got a call from Jane at 6:00 am this morning - Don had an aorta aneurism (ruptured artery) last night. Doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of making it through the by pass surgery , but he came out with flying colors. The medicos at Bon Secours Richmond Regional in Mechanicsville said that everything that could go right did.
He has been moved to ICU - don't know when he can have visitors yet. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Don, Jane, and the entire family.
Affectionately I said, "Don is a tough ol' goat - he'll do fine." Don is one of a kind, a true torch bearer, stubborn, tenacious. Proud to call him my friend.
Will up date as I get more information.
