"This situation just became much more complex. As some of you know, our sister-in-law Michelle suffered a stroke last week. She is currently in the ICU and working on the long road to recovery. The update is that her husband (Jennifer's brother), my brother-in-law, Joe suffered a heart attack 2 days after Michelle was admitted. He is also in the ICU right now (same hospital as his wife) waiting for surgery to repair the damage. Jennifer and I were with him yesterday when his friend Thalia took him to the ER for himself due to extreme fatigue, and after testing, hearing the reveal that he had a heart attack 4 days earlier, which was why he was so exhausted.
We're not sure how much Michelle knows at the moment, as she was intubated and sedated when this was going on (she has been extubated as of this morning) and has had communicating difficulties because of the stroke. We will be talking to everyone at the hospital this afternoon and will do what we can to update all parties as we know more.
Jennifer and I will be heading back to the hospital today to visit with them both and do what we can. Jennifer is juggling a lot with communication between doctors (thank goodness she speaks "health care"), family, friends, etc. She is a rock but it's a lot. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with questions to save her a cut and paste. She is happy to respond but be wary that she's getting a lot of duplicate questions in an active situation."
Well guys, I had a heart transplant!
My wife Michelle (Lexi) and I have both been recovering at home.
I'll post updates on that, and on movie and music news, soon. Thank you to all our excellent, caring friends and family for their support through this whole ordeal. Especially Thalia, who took me to the ER that day and no doubt saved my life, and my sister Jennifer, who was a rock star.
