Get Better Soon Phred!!!!!!
No Angie -
I am not sure who has the dogs but I am sure that it is Unka Pat and Joan - neighbors who he is close too. I don't know their last name and we don't have their phone numbers.

This is my update:

I called the hospital - and as I suspected in a bigger hospital there are no phones in the ICU patient rooms. I talked to his nurse and I told her that I know I can't talk to him and I know with HIPPA she can't tell me anything but she cofirmed he was ok. AND she promised she would relay the message that that I called and that we are thinking and praying for him. So this is all we have until he is able to get out and call us himself.

keep the prayers coming!


and Jo called earlier then I did and this is what she found out.

I just got off the phone with John's nurse. According to him, he is awake and oriented x 3- which is a great thing. No phone in the room, so, I couldn't get to speak to John. Of course, I started bawling on the phone with the nurse, and he said, "He is going to be fine, honey. If he keeps it up, we are going to have to kick him out of here."

Of course, I took that as a huge sign that God is working his miracle on our friend.

I told him to tell John that I called, and that a whole bunch of people are praying for him.

BTW, that phone number originally posted doesn't appear to be working. So, I would ask that you call the hospital main number at 330-884-1000, and ask for the Medical Intensive Care Unit. Once John gets transferred to a room, I am sure they will give him a telephone.
