Dave Ley
 

I just wanted to let everyone know that after Dave returned home from the points meet in Lebanon Valley he had to be rushed to emergency surgery. As many of you know 2 weeks earlier he had a scare and the doctors thought that they had it under control, were giving him antibiotics and scheduled a surgery on July 22nd to fix the problem. Well apparently the infection had different plans and grew to be very threatening. After 7 hours of surgery the doctor's think that they have the problem resolved. This morning he was moved from ICU and put into a regular room and says that he is going to take it easy for a while. I hope so. He is going to be in the hospital until probably Monday or Tuesday but he is going to have a long recovery ahead of him so he needs all of our support. He would do it for us.

Thanks again,
Brian Van Poppel

Re: Dave Ley
 

I spoke to Gloria on the phone last night. Dave should be coming home in the next day or 2. Being our Dave, he has exceded the doctors expectations on recouping!!
Now, if Gloria can just keep you heading in that same direction Dave, you'll be back to your old self in no time!!
