<DIV><SPAN>Good Morning Everyone!!!</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Call it Good News... Praise God... or whatever you wish to tag it!!!</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>After some ten very long critical hours of surgery at University of</SPAN><BR><SPAN>MD, a very large tumor was successfully removed which compressed</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Bill's spinal cord. The surgeon informed us that some reconstruction</SPAN><BR><SPAN>of the casing around the spinal cord had to be taken care of as the</SPAN><BR><SPAN>tumor had wrapped itself around the cord and actually proved to be</SPAN><BR><SPAN>quite serious and actually was the cause of bill's severe pain,</SPAN><BR><SPAN>numbness, and tingling and otherwise, horrific debilitating</SPAN><BR><SPAN>discomfort. However, there is good news in that the doctor believes</SPAN><BR><SPAN>his prognosis is very, very good. The tumor is completely gone and he</SPAN><BR><SPAN>believes that Bill should actually
regain full use of his legs, feet,</SPAN><BR><SPAN>and lower extremities. For that, of course, we are all so grateful.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Bill will be hospitalized for another three-five days. His room</SPAN><BR><SPAN>number is 760 in some building that for the life of me, I cannot</SPAN><BR><SPAN>pronounce. I'm sure that after today, he will be delighted to receive</SPAN><BR><SPAN>calls in his room locally at: 443-462-4146. Please be patient</SPAN><BR><SPAN>though, as it may take some time to get to his phone and he may not</SPAN><BR><SPAN>always get to you on the first call. You can always reach me via my</SPAN><BR><SPAN>cell phone: 410-215-8587 for any further questions or concerns.</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>I'd like to take this time to thank each and every one of you for all</SPAN><BR><SPAN>your thoughts and prayers! This has meant so very much to Bill and me</SPAN><BR><SPAN>and has really
helped us through! As Doc says, "The hard part is over</SPAN><BR><SPAN>now." I'd alsdo like to thank the wonderful team of physicians and</SPAN><BR><SPAN>the top dog--physician of all physicians, God Himself!!</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Please pardon me as I try my best to keep everyone posted. If anyone</SPAN><BR><SPAN>gets this, simply spread the word if you can far and wide so that we</SPAN><BR><SPAN>can get to everyone concerned! Thanks everyone!!</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Bernie</SPAN><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div></body></html>
