Prof. Ralph McInerny on St. Thomas Aquinas

Enjoy!

Here is an update from this site on McInerny’s state of health:

Dear Friends:
Ralph’s condition is not good, but it is far better than rumors have had it. He is in ICU at the new St. Joseph Medical Center in Mishawaka, on oxygen and an intravenous feeding tube (they’ll try a larger tube directly to the stomach later today). He’s weak and has lost a lot of weight, and he sleeps much of the time. But this is an improvement from last night. He had a procedure recently, in which 1.5 liters of fluid were extracted from his lungs. But the tests he has had show no signs of cancer. I was at the hospital today, but I got to see him (the seeing was one way because he was asleep) for only a few minutes. His children and several close friends are with him all the time. I’ll keep you updated.
Your prayers for Ralph and his family are much appreciated.
