[Nfbwv-talk] Update on Ray McGeorge

[charlene]

Greetings:
I recently got off the phone with Diane to check on Ray's status as of this morning.
Some time no news is good news and that is the case today.  Ray remains stable and
unconscious in the normal sense.  The encouraging bit of news is that over the last
couple of days, Ray has demonstrated more awareness and has definitely let us know
that he is still with us.  When I saw him Saturday, he squeezed my hand when I asked
and he also wiggled his big toe when I asked.  Yesterday, he was even a little more
active and moving his left arm and leg, the non-stroke affected side.
Dr. and Mrs. Maurer visited with Ray yesterday and he gripped their hands as well.
There is no doubt in any of our mind sthat Ray is still with us and fighting very
hard.  He faces significant odds because of the multitude of issues he has faced,
the most substantial of which is the major stroke he suffered last week.  As all
of you know, Ray is an extremely tough person and he is giving it everything he's
got.  We appreciate so much your continued thoughts and prayers and please keep them
coming!  I plan to visit Ray this afternoon and I will post an update later today.
    With warmest regards,
Scott
