Subject: [NFBAffiliatePresidents] Ray McGeorge Being Transfered to HospisCare


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.

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 transfered from Kendrid Hospital, which is a long term acute care facility, to St. John's Hospis.

Quite frankly, we do not know specifically what the future holds.  Ray has faught 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.
Scott C. LaBarre, Esq.
