Navy SEAL Bryan Stuart is Wardaddy's close cousin's son. He has been medevaced to Germany for surgery. Other details are sketchy as of yet.

This is the latest on Wardaddy's condition, all good news! (Thank God!)I saw Charlie before he went into surgery, he was in much better spirits! I told him about the Freep chain, he grinned. They took him at 6:00, surgery started at 8:45, (1) bypass main artery, all other arteries are clear, bypass successful, no problems, he was out by 11:45, we saw him at 1:00. He looked GREAT!! He looked better today than he did yesterday!! Unbelievable!! I saw him at 2:30. He will not be awaked until tonight. I get to see him at 5:30 and at 8:30....

I just sat down at my computer and was shocked to read this freepmail. Hey, this is Annette. Charlie is in the hospital, he went to ER at 2:00 am with pains in his arm.

You can share this with those you think appropriate. I am not really with it right now. I wanted to let you know, he speaks very fondly...
