Sad News and Some Better News - UPDATE
« Reply #-1 on: December 22, 2016, 11:22:59 PM »
Earlier today I read a post about our own Hub (Gordon Hubbell).  He apparently had a heart attack earlier today and was rushed to the hospital.  He is currently in the CCU for a couple of days and will then transfer to a regular hospital ward.  The good news is that he appears to be in good spirits.  He was concerned about missing his daily FB commentary called Cat of Atonement.  He must be on the mend already if this is his greatest concern. 

Gordon is not only a fraternity brother of mine, but he is a good friend.  We get together periodically and go eat some BBQ.  Please add him to your prayers.

I will post updates as I receive them.

I just talked to Gordon's wife, Randi.  Gordon will be moved from the ICU/CCU to a room today and will be released to go home sometime tomorrow.  He had a 100% blockage on one side of his heart.  When he arrived at the hospital, a heart surgeon had just finished surgery on someone else.  Gordon was wheeled into the OR and the doctor had already started operating on Gordon before Randi could finish parking the car and walk into the hospital.  Everything went well.  He was admitted to the ICU/CCU after surgery and is scheduled to be moved to a private room today.  If all continues to go well, he will be sent home tomorrow.

Randi told me that Gordon wanted his computer so he could pick up where he left off before the heart issue.  I will be going over to see him one day next week and will report further.
