My Uncle Charles Deborah deborah@summerlands.com Thu Aug 10 00:17:17 2000 Mom just called. My Uncle Charles out in California has had a heart attack and is in serious condition in the hospital. It doesn't look good.*p*His kidneys have shut down ages ago and he's been on dialysis for several years now. The veins in his arms are shot so they're having to go in through his neck at this point.*p*They've had to drain water off his heart/lungs and his body is too weak to help them much in the fight.*p*He's mom's baby brother (7 years her junior). He's 72 and one of the sweetest souls you ever met.*p*His Wife Flo, son Jim and daughter Becky are with him, along with all of Becky's kids and her husband. My aunt Sylvia is flying out. Mom and Dad aren't up to making the trip. *p*We ask that if it's his time to go, that he do so quickly and peacefully. And if he's supposed to stay with us for awhile longer that he be healed to where he's even stronger and better than when he went into the hospital.*p*Please be with him and his family and with my parents to. Mom is the oldest of her sibs. And now even the 'kids' are starting to cross the veil, it's getting hard on her and my dad.*p*Thanks for your prayers,*br*Deborah
