>From www.evawhitley.net Jan. 3, 2005:

"Jack was transported to Maryland's Shock Trauma Unit early this
morning. We got a telephone call in the middle of the night (for the
first time since Jack has been hospitalized) from the hospital. Jack's
trach, which has been bleeding, got worse. They called in the doctor who
did the operation and he was unable to do the fix needed because our
community hospital wasn't equipped for it and the only hospital in the
area that could do them was Shock Trauma.

I just called there and he survived the trip (he's medically fragile
enough that moving him was a major worry) and they'll be fixing the
trach today. Obviously, the move to University Specialty is off."
