As of the time my husband left the hospital this morning (around 4 am, I think), Lee was off the respirator, conscious, & breathing on his own. He was having trouble speaking, but had control of his motor skills. He’s still in the hospital, but we haven’t heard anything yet today. I’m takng that as a “no news is good news.” Tim is one of Lee’s closest friends, so if he’d worsened at all, Lee’s girlfriend would have called. I’m home this afternoon basically because my husband is just whipped. He got next to no sleep last night, and right now, he’s more or less incapable of taking care of the kids. So I came home, so he can take a nap, go to the bar & finish tearing down the gear, go visit Lee at the hospital, then go play his gig tonight. Thanks, everyone. We really do appreciate it. ---

Cristi darling, you have (as always) prayers, positive healing thoughts and best wishes coming your way from oh-so-far away…but no less heartfelt, just from a distance. May your friend’s stroke be one of those mild ones that allows him to regain full health really soon. Love you, dear! Hang in there, and hug Tim for me. Much Love, Cheri ---

The doctors have decided to transfer Lee to a different hospital, for surgery. He’s currently at a hospital here in Flint, but he’s going to be moved to Henry Ford, in Detroit. I’m not sure what the surgery is for, but apparently Lee’s condition is more serious than was originally believed. Please keep the positive vibes coming. We really do appreciate them. ---

Sending many good vibes & positive thoughts. Was it a stroke or an aneurysm? My Mom (age 45) had a brain aneurysm that burst, initially it was thought to be a stroke until she was Life Flight’ed from our small town hospital to a large Medical University. They diagnosed it accurately and knew they couldn’t handle it. She was sent to a third hospital and had brain surgery. The statistics were grim (very grim). I am happy to tell you she is now back to work with no complications, 4 months after surgery. She was very fortunate, and she knows it. I don’t mean to hijack your thread, I just want you to know that there is hope! ---
