I jusy got off the phone with Illbear.His computer is sick,and he will not be back online til Tuesday morning.
He asked me to post this to the site at large.
"On Friday I called Mike Bailey-Testvet6778 or Testvet.His wife,Dorrie answered.Mike is
very weak. He sleeps alot.
On Wednesday he is going to have a last ditch heart surgery with a complicated new piece of equipment installed.He has a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery and a 50/50
chance of recovering.
I asked Dorrie-his rock,the love of his life-what we could do.
Dorie answered immediately.
"Pray."
Dorie believes in the power of prayer,as does Mike.
So,begining at 6am Eastern Time,here on Daily Kos,and through out the day,regardless
of your own personal religious convictions,please offer repeatedly comments and prayers
for Mike.
Dorie and Mike's family will be reading during surgery.I will be on the phone with a member of the family to relay reports of what is going on.
Soldiers have a sacred oath they offer at times like this.
"We've got your back"
Please think about it,and join me in the diary.Prove that "We've got your back" is part of
what 'Daily Kos' is all about."
Thank-You.
Illbear.
