R-12: Howard Anderson Update

[RuthieRae]

My mom wanted me to post and give everyone an update on Howard. Tuesday afternoon he went through a 6 hour surgery to fix what he broke back in May. The surgery so far was a success. He is not yet eating solid foods, but he is alert and well. He is in ICU, as a precaution, and has already had the breathing tube removed. He continues to improve each day, and will probably be in the hospital another week. As far as getting him out of ICU, it is a day to day decision, so for today he will remain in ICU until his kidneys recover and to make sure the patch work holds up.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and concerns, phone calls and emails.

Penny Anderson and Family.

Sherl, Good to hear, thanks for the update. Tell Howard we'll shoot him a prayer or two. Look forward to seeing him and Penny at the National Meeting.

I tested Dave Cully's F hydro for most of one afternoon, and Howard was there on the dock giving me advice on the thing. It is amazing how much info he knows....I bet he has forgot more stuff then I will ever learn. Dave
