Please Pray for My Brother

An email I received from Stacie Herron, Walter's sister...

Dear Friends and Family,

Just a quick note to please ask for everyone to keep Walter Ruh in your thoughts and prayers. He is in ICU right now at UT Hospital and in serious condition. He has a bleed on his brain the size a bit bigger than a golf ball. Last night around 8 o'clock he passed out twice, was very disoriented, and confused. Shannon had trouble getting him up and called 911. When the ambulance came they had trouble stabilizing him. When they finally stabilized him, they took him onto Blount Memorial Hospital. As many of you know, Walter Ruh has had trouble with migraines and last year the neurologist found a bleed on his brain about the size of a pea. But they felt it would go away. They decided not to do surgery then because of the chance it could cause paralysis on one side. The doctor's now believe he would probably now need surgery. The nuerosurgeon has not come in yet, so we are still waiting. We will have some decisions to make so please keep Shannon and Mom and Dad in your thoughts and prayers also. I will try to keep you updated as I find out any information. He is in a lot of pain and they can't get the pain stopped in his head.

Thank you and we love you!!
Stacie (and The Herron Family)
