Update on Dean Haskins, KAØPII

I just noticed that I neglected to include the street address for Memorial
Hospital in previous messages, hopefully the PO will deliver them anyway
(the zip code was correct).  The corrected address is below, my apologies
for the oversight.

Dean Haskins, KAØPII
ICU Room 4642
c/o Memorial Hospital
1400 E. Boulder Street
Colorado Springs, CO  80909

Below is an update from Dean's wife, Lucie, on his condition/situation.

Thanks everyone for your continued thoughts, prayers and cards!

> Dean was admitted to Trauma-ICU at Memorial Hospital where he remains.

> Dean hasn't regained consciousness yet but has moved all his limbs (so

> A list of the injuries as I understand them:
> - shattered ear drum (right ear)
> - broken nose/cartilage in nose
> - 1st rib broken
> - lacerations on back of head (requiring 4-5 staples)
> - bruised lung
> - traumatized brain (bleeding and swelling)
> - other cuts and bruises
>
> I'll try to write as time permits and as his condition changes. Right
> now he seems stabilized and we just continue to pray that his recovery
> progresses smoothly.

> Love to all.
