Thoughts and prayers from Iowa.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Well, I gotta say you guys must have a clear line back upstairs. Yesterday about dinner time he started responding again. He even croaked out a recognizable "BYE!" as we were leaving for the night.
He's by no means out of the woods, but at least we know his brain salad didn't get totally scrambled and he is still in the building. This morning, Mom called me to say that his kidneys are starting to respond as well.
Thanks all for the good words upstairs. Keep it up. We're a long way from getting him home.

Shaman,
That IS good news! We will certainly keep praying here!

Shaman, said a prayer for your dad.
Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

This is going to be one of those bum messages you often see at the bottom of one of these prayer request threads. Last night, we got the call; Dad had just given up and stopped breathing. None of us were there. Nobody knew this was coming. I had taken Mom back to my house for dinner, and then she had entertained the kids for a while back at her place, feeding them sundaes. In a lot of ways, I am kind of happy it came this way. Dad had not shown any sign of consciousness in over a day. Mom was spared a lot. Probably if Dad had been calling the shots, he would have rather had us all together watching football and yucking it up anyway. So there you have it. I really truly miss his stories. Most were laced with names of local Cincinnati glitterati, but a surprising number included folks you might know. ".. .so Jack Lescoli, Bill Nimmo and I met up with Jackie Gleason and go back to his place to play pool . . . I wake up on the boat to Hamburg. I don't know how I got there.. ." Growing up, I was always amazed at the number of local TV people he knew. Bob Braun had been his best friend when Bob was still a lifeguard at Sunlight Pool. He'd managed to date most of the cast of Midwestern Hayride. What had happened was that he was building apartments back about the same time the local TV stations were first coming on the air. Word got around that my Dad had good clean places at a reasonable rate and soon a good number of the local talent were tenants. Rod Serling was there. I remember meeting Gene Shepherd and Kenny Price when I was a kid. For all my life, I've been walking into bars and restaurants and having folks recognize my name and tell me how much they love my Dad and my Mom. He was a guy who just knew how to have fun and how to make fun for the people around him. He just made you happy. But as the old Chinaman says: ' There was a fire. It burned brightly once, and now it is gone. It may burn elsewhere in this world, I know not where, but these sticks have burned out and grown cold. '" From Eulogy for Eulogy for Big Stick 2/7/2007

So sorry to hear this, but prayers for the family!
He is in a better place now, and that should give solace.
