Thread Name: Utah Phillips Medical Update (2008)
Subject: BS: Utah Phillips is in Hospital in SF
This is from an email from my sister Margie Little in Nevada City, CA.

I hope you all will do as she suggests re: prayers.


"I thought I would pass along to you that Utah is in the hospital in SF. He went down thinking he might have a heart transplant - to realize that he would not survive one, nor a pump implant.
He had a chest port installed Monday and is having difficulty with that. The doctors are trying to stabilize him.
His wife Joanna and son Duncan are there with him at the California Pacific Hospital - Utah has been there for two weeks now. Joanna is exhausted and as she says numb.

So please keep them in your prayers and thoughts.

Margaret

PS Joanna does not know when they will be able to bring Utah home.
He plans on writing a book when he gets home with Joanna taking dictation and doing the editing."
