The attached email is from my wife's aunt.
Marion is in room 461 at Methodist.

it.
Talk to you soon,

Elaine: Mark's address seems lost in my address book. Please forward this
to him and also send me his email address.
I got a phone call this morning from a worried sounding nurse at Methodist
Hospital. Marion had had a serious head injury, and his chances for
survival weren't good.
I phoned his best friend, Chuck Sullivan, and he went straight to the
hospital. I stopped on the way to the hospital to feed Marion's cat
(something I do whenever he's hospitalized). A woman at Ebenezer was
surprised. She'd seen him about 8 p.m. last
night. He'd fallen and hit his head while riding his bicycle and hurt his
head-such a blow that he showed her the dent in his helmet-but he seemed
okay, she said.
At hospital, Chuck and I met with a regular MD and a brain surgeon, who told
us that prescription coumadin was causing his brain to have a lot of blood
in it. If that could be stopped, he might have a chance to recover-but it
didn't look good. Under
5% chance of recovery.
Chuck asked whether Marion had arrived by ambulance, and the nurse said
no, she thought he'd taken a cab.
Marion's only motion was chest movement of his breath. He was not
responsive to any touch or sound. Late afternoon, still no motion or
response. At that time, it was decided to go with his wishes and
discontinue IV and oxygen. Chuck and I waited
another hour, talked to and touched him. Then sadly left.
This evening, I stopped off and fed Fancy, then went to the hospital with
the hope that I might see Marion move, When I got to the hospital, they
told me that he is on life support and being kept comvortable. He will be
placed in hospice and might
live another day or two.
I might send another email about the cat, and who will take care of his
affairs, since he has no will. I did arrange with Cremation Society.
