[Janice Ulangca]

Bless you, Joan, for getting in touch with us colleagues, and for being there for Shirley.  She, Larry and the family will be in my prayers, and I'll send her a message directly.

Love to you all,

  Shirley Henschen asked me to write and tell you all what is happening.  On Monday Larry entered Arizona Heart Hospital for surgery on an aneurysm on a descending aorta.  The surgery was to have been about 3 hours.  Shirley and I were there most of the day as it became a 7 hour surgery.  We saw him late afternoon and he wasn't responding as expected at that time.  Later that night the neurologist told her Larry had had a massive stroke during the surgery and that the right side of the body was paralyzed and most probably his active and receptive speech would be affected.  It is now Thursday and no change.  He is breathing with the aid of machines.  This afternoon Carla and Patty, their daughters, are arriving from Texas and together they will make the necessary decisions.  I was there this morning when Shirley spoke again to the neurologist and he described the process Larry was in and held out almost no hope of recovery.

  Their email is: sjhenschen at qwest.net and their address is:3623 West Del Rio Street, Chandler, AZ  85226.  Shirley is being supported by a large circle of friends.  The ones you would know are Edith Byers,  Kate Ward, Lynn and Gail Oden and me.  Joan Knutson
