Jan 9 update regarding WHMI article

For those of you who are following the local news site (WHMI) feeds about Dad's accident, I want to comment briefly about the latest version.  Beside spelling his name incorrectly and having the facts about the ambulance incorrect, they have listed Dad's condition as "fair".  While his condition has slightly improved, "fair" is a stretch for one that is on a ventilator, not conscious and in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit.  I have asked the hospital to give his condition in the future as only "in the SICU".

I have contacted WHMI regarding these statements and I have not received a  response.  The bottom line is that I don't want everyone to believe, based on the reporting of WHMI, that Dad is well enough for a gaggle of visitors.

Thank you for understanding.
