The good news regarding Don is...it's fixable. The bad news is that he has a tube down his nose and into his stomach that is driving him crazy, and it has to stay there until they do the surgery. They are getting him hydrated, etc. and so aren't promising the surgery will be tomorrow, but they hope so. If not, then on Wednesday. The CT leaves them with some question regarding location, so they have to open him up and figure out where the problem is...but the CT for sure shows a hernia and the bowel is sticking out where it shouldn't.

He is at Feather River Hospital in Paradise, CA; room 272B. He has a phone, but he will not be anxious to talk on it before the surgery...and who knows how long afterwards... but the phone # is: 530-877-9361. You can ask for him by name and room number. Remember we are two or three hours behind most of you, and calling will be allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Our cell phones don't work in the room...or just about anywhere else in the hospital.
