an email I received....

My mother called me last week and told me that my dad's youngest brother choked on a piece of meat. He was standing at the kitchen counter eating sausage. His wife went to another room and when she came back, he was motioning for her to hit him on the back (NEVER do that, always do the Heimlich). She did and he started turning blue. She called 911 and by the time they got there, he passed out. He's been in a coma since last Saturday. His daughters from an earlier marriage, from California, came to see him. The doctors had told his wife that they needed to take him off life support because he was brain dead. WELL, his oldest daughter had put her head on the bed and was crying, his sister noticed that tears started coming down his face. They called in the doctor and he told Lisa (his daughter) to talk to him and tell him to blink, so she did and he blinked! We're all just praying that he continues to improve.
