[OFARC] Update on Larry - KK5KE

[Virgil Dean]

Alvin and I took a trip over to Larry's apartment yesterday afternoon.
When we got there we were able to talk to Diana (Larry's wife).  She told
us that Larry was at the hospital.  So we decided to head to the hospital
to check on Larry with Diana in toll since she wasn't able to get there.

When we were able to find his room we noticed that Larry wasn't himself at
all.  The whole time we were there he kept saying the same phases
repeatedly.  He also wasn't able to acknowledge us or even recognize us
including Diana.

We were able to talk to the nurse and a doctor.  The doctor told us that he
was suffering from a UTI and pneumonia.  The doctor also couldn't get a
response from Larry either, so the doctor was going to get a consult from a
psychiatrist to assess his mental state. The doctor speculated the cause of
the confusion and responsiveness maybe due to the infections causing the
brain to not function well.

Soon after we talked to the doctor we gave the nurse our phone number just
in case they needed to get a hold of us since Larry and Diana have no
phone.  After that, we took Diana back home upon her request and went home
ourselves.

The following is about where Larry is at:
Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital
7600 Beechnut St, Houston, TX 77074
713-456-5000 - Main number
He is in room number 1025 on the 10th floor.

We will be trying to find out as much information as we can and relay it as
soon as we can.
