Update Father Andrew 01 from Uncle Paul

Hello all, this is an informative e-mail:
Andrew is stable and being watched in the intensive care unit, without any critical issues at present.With his permission and the 'go-ahead' of his family, this is the situation:

1-He has had an aortic dissection (www.emedicine.com), which is a separation of the inner third of the aorta's wall into the middle of the blood stream of the aorta, he did not bleed out from the aorta. His blood pressure is well controlled and has been relatively easy to control. This is extremely important for now.

2-He has not had any organ damage of complications from the dissection that we are aware of.

3-He is fully awake and is enjoying everyones support.4- Washington Hospital center is off of North Capitol and Irving (www.whcenter.org)Bed: 3G-06, visiting hour (which are strict) are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM5- Tom and Cecy are at WHC currently.I'm available on my cell if needed 202 207 8271
