Update on Dr. Joe Garrisi from 9/4/09 ...

Here’s an update from late Saturday, 09/04/2009:

I just talked with my brother Mike and mother, both of whom are at the hospital. My father is still in ICU. They were talking about moving him to a regular hospital room today, but that appears not to be so. In fact, they had just talked with a physician who said there are no orders to move up at all. So, it looks like he will remain in the ICU until at least Monday. He is eating. He had lunch today. That is a good sign. He is starting to get coherent in is thinking and speech. There is some talk about needing 24 hour sitters. That means someone who would just sit in the room and watch. This would be needed if he is transferred to a regular room. There is nothing definite about this yet.

Thank you all for your concern and prayers. Please pray for our mother as well. She is exhausted.

Rev. John Garrisi
