I got word early this morning from the GMMVC secretary that Jeff Houghton has suffered complications from his surgery over the weekend and is in intensive care. One of our members was able to visit Jeff today at the ICU and wrote the following to our club secretary.

Quote:
Tom, I just returned from visiting Jeff at the Medical Center - he is in really tough shape,
and is fighting for his life. His doctor did stop in while I was there and said that it seemed Jeff had turned a corner
a little for the better and that his blood pressure was coming up a little. Jeff had a growth
in his colon that was removed Saturday, but the resection died and spilled waste into
his body cavity. They took him back into surgery a second time on Monday night
to clean him out and put in a colostomy. Its sort of hour-to hour at this point.
He is heavily sedated, intubated, IVed etc, but was conscious enough to
say no when I asked if I could drive his M275 while he was sick.

If you know any good prayers, it would be a good time to use them.
