Bob rushed to ICU. Coughing blood.

Family and friends,

Bob had a big scare today after they inserted the camera pill. His blood pressure dropped to 70/35 and his heart rate skyrocketed. They think it could have been from the propophyl. The same drug that killed Michael Jackson. Then he started coughing up blood. They had to move him to the surgical icu unit. They won't let me stay with him so I'm at the hotel. When we left his blood pressure was stable at 118/64 and heartrate at 118. He is still coughing up lots of blood and they don't know the cause. They did 2 chest xrays and will do ct scan of stomach in a few hours. I'll update in the am.

Bob needs lots of prayers tonight.

Love and thanks,
Michele
