<font size="2">Greetings Friends, as many of you know, Ray McGeorge
came
down with meningitis and was rushed to the hospital on May 9th. He
has been unconscious ever since. Unfortunately, the meningitis
caused several complications including seizures and a massive
stroke. Ray has been relatively stable the last couple of weeks but
has shown no signs of improvement. <br>
</font> <br>
<font size="2">Ray is a very strong person and very clear about his
wishes. He has an advanced directive, also known as a living
will. He has explicitly expressed the desire that his life not be
extended artificially. Diane has honored Ray's wishes and asked
that he be taken off the respirator. He has been off the respirator
for limited periods but has always been placed back on.
Additionally, this morning Ray is being transferred from Kendrid
Hospital, which is a long term acute care facility, to St. John's
Hospis.<br>
</font> <br>
<font size="2">Quite frankly, we do not know specifically what the
future
holds. Ray has fought this battle as hard as he knows how.
Without the respirator, we do not know exactly how Ray will do. We
do know, however, that we are carrying out his wishes. During this
very difficult time, we request your continued thoughts and
prayers. <br>
