The blogging break continues...

I've been taking little break from blogging, because life just intervened in an unexpected and stressful way. The break will continue for about a month or so as far as I can see.

Joe's grandfather was released from the hospital. The life saving valve angioplasty they performed seemed to really help. It was nothing less than a miracle. He was doing good for about a week. And then things seemed to start declining.

He ended up back in the hospital where things took a major turn for the worst a few nights ago. Two maybe. I don't even know anymore, I have no sense of time.

Today he is in open heart surgery, he needs a valve replaced and a triple by pass. It is the only chance of him living. Before the surgery, the only things keeping him alive were medication and a ventilator.

Please keep Joe, his family and his grandfather in your prayers. We need them. The chance of his grandfather making it off of the operating table is less than 50% and even at that, it will be a long uphill battle to over come a number of other things that could go wrong after the surgery.

Thank you for all of your kind emails, comments, thoughts and prayers. They have been very much appreciated.
