His chief complaint is excruciating back and neck pain which is not relieved by the medicines. This too is associated with heart surgery, but that's small consolation when you're in pain.
Those of you who don't know Larry personally are not aware that he has a terrific sense of humor and very quick wit, and he had the doctors and nurses laughing even in the midst of all his travail. He also asks a lot of questions, so much so one of the people present actually thought he was a medical professional with a degree in medicine!
We were told that just because there was a problem last night doesn't necessarily mean that the procedure wasn't successful; as one doctor commented, "we did A LOT to him." He is also being given another drug three times a day to supplement 10 or 11 meds he's currently receiving, in the hope this will prevent a recurrence.
On Monday Larry is formally scheduled to have a medical assessment made and we hope to know more at that time. He continues to run a low grade fever with chills alternating with feeling overheated. It's quite an ordeal he is presenting going through.
I told him I had received many private emails from fans wishing him well and that brought a smile to his face. He asked me to be sure to thank you.
If you'd like to send him a "get well" card, you can do so at:
Larry Jordan
P.O. Box 685
Panora, IA 50216
Larry's illness does not impede the mailing of CDs or copies of his book. Those are continuing to be shipped out as usual. So feel free to order anything from this site.
Thanks for your continued prayers and good wishes. -- JULIE
