bad news
Dr. Silo examined Ed today and said that he could offer no hope for his recovery. Ed's brain stem is severely damaged - only the very lowest part of the brain stem is functioning, which is the part that controls blood pressure and breathing. The middle and upper part of the brain stem is not functioning, and does not recover.

I am speechless with the same disappointment and grief that all those who love you are feeling after reading this report. Sounds like Ed has found his way "home", just not the home we had all hoped for. You are in our prayers.
Dear Marian,
I am so sad and so sorry to hear this. You and Ed are both very dear to me. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. May God hold you in the palm of his hand in this very difficult time.

Marian & girls,
We hadn't read the blot this week and stopped by to see Ed last night. We were so pleased that he looked so much better. We observed the eye twitches and movements we thought were in response to our touches. We told Ed how much we love him and we left with soaring hearts. We can only imagine your sorrow and pain at the sad news you received yesterday.
We are sending warm fuzzies to surround you with virtual hugs.
Love, David & Deb VT

Dear Marion and girls, Cherry sent me your blog so that we'd know what was going on with your family. We are so deeply saddened by this situation. Ed has been such a vibrant man. We enjoyed watching your marriage, the way your family loves each other, and your faith. We will pray for you as you wait in hope. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God are are called according to His purpose. May you know the comfort of the Lord during this time.
Warmly,
Jim and Vicki King (and Katie, Danny, and Corrie)
