Allan & Cheryl again. We just got off the phone with Gail, who updated us with the following to pass on to you.
First of all Gail wants to thank everyone for their care, support, and comments here and on Flickr.
David and Gail are still in Mercy Hospital in Scranton, but they have been moved from the 8th floor, so please do not use the previously posted phone number as they aren’t in that room anymore. They are now in the in-patient hospice care on the 3rd floor. They can get calls 24 hours a day there. Call the hospital main line (570) 348-7100 and ask for the hospice. The switchboard there will transfer you to the Fieldings in room 386.
Gail asked that we clarify that David is not in a coma. He has been moving between unresponsiveness and rare lucid moments. It’s been tough because, in his semi-conscious state, David has been trying to remove his bracelets, IV, etc.
Some of you have already contacted Gail and are planning to go out there this weekend and in the coming week. Please do what you can to contact her first, or contact us – syntaxerror [at] gmail.com, to help co-ordinate your visit.
