Update on Al Powers, member number 58 |
||||
|
Al’s wife Lois Powers, member no. 75, reported on Jan. 14, 2010 that Al has been in the hospital for a week and should be released in a few days. He has a blood clot between his brain and his skull, but not in an area that is critical. He had trouble maintaining his balance and had slurred speech. They attached a tube to drain the clot on Saturday. While they didn't achieve the results they had hoped for, he is improving and he doesn't have the slurred speech. They performed surgery on him again on Jan. 9 and added another tube to help drain the clot further. He went to intensive care after surgery, but she expects him to go back to his room on Friday. She expects to take him home next week. Lois reported that he had a mini stroke in early December. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Al has been the heart and soul of The Webfooters for many years. |
