Just to fill everyone in .....Stuart is at the Scottsdale Osborne Hospital, Trauma Center. The telephone number to the hospital is 480-882-4810. Stuart is in room #632.

When I spoke to him at 3 o'clock this afternoon, he seemed fairly alert, his girlfriend, Sara, was there with him. I asked if there was anything that he needed Mike and I to do for him, and he said just send cards, flowers, gifts, and the usual hospital stuff. I was glad to hear the Stuart sense of humor that I have come to know.

While I was on the phone, his surgeon came and talked to him while I was holding and I got to hear most of what she had to say. She was scheduling him for surgery some time tonight ( unsure of what time that would be) and that he would most likely be scheduled for a second surgery tomorrow.

I know that everyone wants to call and talk to him and wish him well, I would suggest that we all go easy and give him a chance to get some rest. I told him I would talk to him tomorrow and hopefully get the chance to go to see him. I'll wait until I know that he is ready for visitors. In the mean time, I will keep you all posted with what I know.

Vicki, I am glad that you posted here too. Please continue to update us on Stuart's progress. Stuart is an integral part of our very close community. There are no better people than our group of Cobra guys and gals. There isn't anything we wouldn't do for each other. If you need us to do anything for him, you only need to say the word, and consider it done.

To all who were out there on the run today, Mike and I are proud to have each and everyone of you as a friend, and thank you all for what you did, and what you gave to take care of our cobra family.
