Angela Fry Harvey:
26 August 2013 · I am sorry I have not updated in a while... Bear is now in the Hospital at Forrest General in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He had a major stroke. They found blood clots in his lungs on Thursday last week and had to start him on a blood thinner, this is a major risk but has to be done so he can breathe. Jade & I stayed at the hospital Thursday till yesterday afternoon. He sleeps constantly and is on a feeding tube, he will more than likely go into a nursing home. He occansionally opens his eyes but we are not sure if he recognizes us. If you have any questions you can call me at home (***-***-****) I'll be here today.. Jade had to get back to school.

I wanted to give all of you an update, he became unresponsive yesterday and he was sent for a CT SCAN. He has a massive bleed in the brain. They explained to me with the clots in the lungs and the bleed in the brain that it was a catch 20. I told them to make him as comfortable as possible. Jade and me came up here last night. I have the home number transferred to my cell call me if you have any questions.......keep us all in your prayers.........Angela
