If you know someone that is in the hospital, please their name, unit and years at Kagnew if you know it, and any information you have. Don't forget to let me know when they have left the hospital so I can remove their name. Names will be removed after two weeks if I haven't heard from anyone on their condition. |

| March 30, 2010 -- Joe Wilder update from Mike Dennis
(3/25): I called Joe at about 8:00 PM EST. He answered after about six or seven rings, and sounded a little tired or groggy. When he perked up a bit, he said that his cardiac surgeon needed to go back in and see what was causing the fluid build-up (leak?) They will operate at Noon, EST, and then will be moved to recovery, then to the Cardiac Care Unit. I had been talking to an old troop from Asmara (Sid Clansy), and he had not heard that Joe was hospitalized. I mentioned him to Joe, and Joe said to have Sid call him on Tuesday or Wednesday, after he's regained some strength. I asked Joe if you or Higgs knew of his surgery, and he said "no." After calling Higgs, and leaving a message, I started to post Facebook, but saw that Jackie had already posted something. Neither Jackie or Joe could name the procedure, or the techniques involved. It seems that some fols have more confidence in their docs that I do. I told Joe that, in the old days, they would have opened him up, applied a "hot patch," and then sewed him up again. Not much else to add. Told Joe that we would all be praying for him, and that I would call him on Tuesday. |
