Much of you old timers myself included, although I am only 34, will remember Greg Wooley. His dad is at very serious time of his life.
Greg's dad had a pacemaker put in and the pacemaker could never regulate his blood. He was having problems breathing so they put him him in the hospital. While in the hospital the doctors found that he had bleeding outside of the brain. They put him on a ventilator and his blood pressure dropped to zero. In the process they found out he had alot of fluids all over his body that was not suppose to be there. Everything was getting better and he was taken off the ventilator. Today the family was called in to make a decision rather to put him back on or take him off. The fluid is building up again and the docs are giving him 1 to 3 days to live if he stays off the ventilator.
I will keep everyone up to date as to what happens. It is kinda funny I grew up watching Greg race and my grandfather use to work with Greg's dad. Before all this had happen Greg's dad was babysitting my ten month old nephew during the week. You never know how things go in a circle in your life.
