He did not have brain surgery, but there is likely some heart surgery in his future.

Thank you for your very kind words.

With that in mind, perhaps I should warn you that there’s a lot of political content here, and some of it might not be to your liking. Also, It’s pretty much just me. Joel passed away a few years ago, and Ken and Gary have lost interest in blogging.

Thank you for your post. It’s both heart wrenching and heartwarming. It sounds like you and Leo epitomize the best of friendship. God bless you for actively, and lovingly helping a friend, and his dad, at this time of real need.

I have just stumbled across this wonderful Web site that you share with Ken, Gary, and Joel. I am so happy to have done so!

I have yet to read any other articles, et al., on your site, but am looking most forward to diving in. You are an excellent writer: so descriptive, detailed, and a breeze to read. Many thanks for sharing.

All the very best with all of the worthwhile challenges you’re tackling. I will pray for Leo’s recovery, as well as the strength you will need to see him through. What a blessing you have each other!

Thanks for the information, Steve. And good luck with that diet book you’re selling.

Thanks, Jennifer. Leo’s always been a good friend to me. I’m just trying to return the favor.
