Latest update as of 8:00 PM this Tuesday night, thanks Hans Doctors now consider Larry neurologically stable enough to operate on his right arm tomorrow afternoon. There is reason for cautious optimism. He is waking up more often however, he does not know where he is and seems to repeat questions over and over, medical questions a doctor would ask. But the fact that he's considered stable enough to perform surgery is good news. His upper right arm may be in need of a pin. I meant to post this earlier for all that has been requesting an address for the hospital. Greetings All, For those of you that called or e-mailed here is the info below. Larry Koenig, RM.. 4405 In care of; Tallahassee Memorial Medical Center 1300 Miccosukee RD Tallahassee, FL 32308 Larry is in I.C.U., so he can not have flowers at this time till he is released from I.C.U.. It appears that Larry may be in I.C.U. for possibly up to a week. So a card may be the best at this time. We shall keep everyone informed of Larry's condition. On a personal note, I was extremely impressed at Janell's strength and calmness at the hospital. Considering the situation, she is doing great, I am very proud of her. During times of need an inner strength surfaces to help the people we love.

This was not the case for Larry, but your point is well taken and understood. Without going into a lot of detail concerning Larry's misfortune I'll try to explain what happened. Their vehicle ran out of gas. A good Samaritan picked them up to get gas, Larry had to ride in the back of the truck due size of the truck. Upon returning to their vehicle with the gas someone ran into them as they were pulling off the road. Of course many things may have been done differently but isn't hind sight 20/20 with so many things we do that doesn't work out for the best.
