Dear Gang, many of you have said prayers, or sent out positive thoughts on behalf of me, and friends. They must have helped, both my friends, John + Richie, as well as myself have been snatched from the hands of death. John is doing miraculously well, but has a bone infection in his foot due to lack of circulation during his heart attack. He goes into MGH Mon. If he's not there already, and can use those thoughts + prayers again. I have 4 brothers, + one has just received bad news after a biopsy. Surgery scheduled for the 27th. Quite a shock as they had done one a month before + it was negative. So it is I call on you my valve brothers + sisters once again. Thank you, Brian
 
Thanks so much! John seems to be holding his own, waiting on an update. Brother is scheduled for surgery Thursday. I went w/ him for a second opinion Tuesday. He saw Dr. Tsing at Beth Israel Deaconess. She is GREAT! Left feeling reassured + relieved. His bile duct closed up apparently due to cancer. Dr. Tsing explained the whole thing doing many drawings, + making it easy to understand. She said the location of his constriction gives a better chance of getting it all without having to deal with his liver, or pancreas. She was very optimistic. Boy did I need that!
 
It has been a tough couple of weeks. Brother had surgery on 29th, but there was a large mass which was around an artery. They got a lot, but not all. :-( he went home Thurs. but spiked a fever + had to go back after 2 hrs. He is home now exhausted but glad to be there. Hopefully he got sleep last night! Please keep the prayers coming. He is a wonderful big brother, and a great guy. He has spent his life caring for those with mental illness. Started working at a state hospital at 16 in a very dark depressing place. He has always brought light to his patients/clients. He is a social worker, caring for the homeless, and I'm very proud of his devotion and hard work. Thanks, Your valve bro
