Nicholas Thompson has alerted me that his father, John Thompson is in hospital after collapsing yesterday while shopping with him. Tests are being run. Please keep Nicholas and John in your thoughts and prayers.

I sure hope that it's nothing serious and that he'll be back here soon! Will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. Edna, thanks for letting us know and keep us updated, 'k?

Nicholas has emailed me again. John had an aneurysm. A blood vessel at the base of his brain is dilated, but did not burst. They are going to repair it. Uncle Tom has come to stay with Nicholas and he has rented a car so they can travel to the hospital. Jimmy the smoocher (the little kangaroo) has sensed something is wrong and Nicholas says Jimmy is in a tizz. I'll let you know if I hear more. Edna

More news from nicholas - John is stable and smiling. He appreciates the emails that Nicholas is relaying to him. Thanks to Carole, Nicholas appreciates your kindness. Uncle Tom and Nicholas have arranged for Jimmy the smoocher to visit John. John's room opens into a garden and they will bring Jimmy in through the gate and John out in a wheelchair so that maybe Jimmy will understand John is OK and settle down. Continue with the thoughts and prayers. Edna

Nicholas took his laptop to hospital and John himself typed part of the message I last received. He is doing fine. John is most concerned about Jimmy the smoocher and Nicholas. Nicholas is taking care of the menagerie and the home and John doesn't like placing others under so much pressure and responsibility. Nicholas has taken printouts of all the messages sent and the chat board posts and John is most appreciative of all of them. It looks like John will be dismissed from hospital on Friday next week. He tells me his left arm is slightly slowish, but the doctor insists that it may return to normal. He also has a slight limp in the left leg. John is thankful for Dr. Tang. Dr. Tang was on duty when John was brought in and it was Dr. Tang who inserted the endovascular coil into the affected artery.
