Long-time DU member RushIsRot is in the hospital. [View all]

He is in the CCU at Cox South in Branson, MO. His heart is weakened to the point that his cardiologist had recommended hospice last week, but he was life-flighted back to the CCU and is not expected to live. He is DNR.

His son has flown in to be with him. I hope to see him again on Monday.

He gave me permission to post this information because he has enjoyed being a member of the DU forum. I will miss him terribly, and I don't think I'm the only one.
