Breaking News: Bing Under the Knife Again
Prayers Up for Bing who is quite possibly undergoing open-heart surgery as I write this. It would be his second time at the rodeo in nearly 15 years. Mysterious Stranger sent a blast mail Tuesday on behalf of the family, outlining the cascading events leading up to it. An infection that had been misdiagnosed as "double pneumonia" was, in fact, something even more serious involving his bloodstream that eventually began to affect the integrity of the artificial heart valve that had been installed way back when Crosby was still an undergraduate.
I can only imagine the tension inside that hospital ward. Each family member is alike and yet different in some important way. Mysterious is the only atheist. Crosby is the only priest. Colette is the only woman. The rest of us are members of the wedding.
