Good evening gentlemen, this is the latest update on Dick that I just received from Marie Burton .
It's certainly not the best prognossis, but I'm confident the big guy is tougher than this and will prevail over his health issues.
As she passes updates on to me, I will forward them on to you.
Like Marie says, keep them both in your thoughts and prayers.
Mike Lalonde
I just returned home from Southlake and the prognosis is not the greatest. He had the angiogram on Wed. and he is a candidate for quadruple bypass. He cannot have it because he is too high risk (weak heart, obesity, diabetes, kidneys not functioning at 100%) (His chest would never heal) He could go home and risk living with the blockage but 2 are very bad. If he experienced another attack, it would kill him.
The only option left is putting in 2 stents. The only problem is, with all the health problems,it is still very risky. He has opted for the stents to at least have a chance for a longer time with us. He will probably have one put in on Monday.
He will not be with you in the golf for at least 3 weeks.
Thanks for your concern. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This is a very difficult time but we are very hopeful.
