Posted by Walkabout,

it is with a sad and heavy heart to share this post from FB by Beradete McBrayer only 30 minutes ago ;   "  This man. This wonderful, caring, loving, empathetic, gracious man has left us. He fought a hard battle with this wretched disease and for two years - two long years - he kept the faith, kept strong as much for him as for us. He relied on the comforting words of his friends, in person and on Facebook, and those carried him through the hard times.  The consolation now is that he is in peac

Joe's wife has posted updates ;   "  

UPDATE 2 - Joe is out of surgery. The surgeon just came by and told us that everything went as expected and all is well. We're now waiting for him to go to the recovery room.

UPDATE 1- the first part of the surgery - the kidney removal is done and it came out nicely. Joe is doing well. The colon-rectal surgeon is doing his part now. 

still a long way to go but great news so far !  :23::drunk3:

Joe's wife posted on his FB page 1 hour ago !   "Joe is progressing. Slowly but surely. He slept most of the night and day as he is still pretty doped up, but doesn't seem to be in any pain. The nurses moved him to a chair so he can sit down for a while and also to avoid bed sores. He cannot have anything solid until some of his bodily functions go back to normal, according to the doctor. For now he is just sleepy. Thank you for your continued prayers and thoughts. "   keep up all the positive energy for Joe  :23::drunk3::eggplant-smiley-emoticon:

another positive update 17 minutes ago from Joe's wife Bernadette  "  An update on Joe - today he's more alert as he not taking heavy duty drugs any more. He was able to walk around the room a few times during the day with the help of a PT. The doctors have cleared him for liquids - clear broth, jello, juice, sherbert and water. He had all three meals today. Tomorrow the kidney doctor will remove his caterer as his bowel activities improve. When we left tonight he was sitting up watching the Cards game. If you are in town and would like to visit him, I'm sure he'd love to see you. Thank you again for your continued prayers and thoughts. "   keep all those best wishes , positive energy and prays coming :23::drunk3:
