Good Evening, Marion was intubated around 1pm this afternoon. Joan, Terry and Craig had come up from San Jose plus Karen and I were there and we all met with Dr. Morgan, one of the Neurosurgeons and Dr. Baez, the Pulminologist (sp), ICU Specialist. They carefully and thoroughly spelled out Marion's condition, especially that his lungs and heart needed to gain strength, and Dr. Morgan wanted an MRI to see if there might be further injury to the brain that had not been discovered. As Marion was struggling to breath, and it was such an effort and there is still a good chance for him in their opinion, the decision was to re-intubate, which was carried out. I do not know how soon the MRI will be ordered, but of course will keep all up to date. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Thank you, Sue
