Just to let family and friends know - Uncle Howard (Dad's brother) is in the hospital in Thailand. Due to the language barrier, we're not sure whether he's in a coma or not. Apparently he was only able to speak two words - Dad's name and his wife's name, and he was unable to recognize his wife.
Dad got through to a doc who said it looks like Howard had a diabetic seizure and that his lungs are in serious condition. Dad thinks the doctor may have said the prognosis was 'good' before he was cut off, but we're not sure whether that was a) misheard due to phone issues or b) what the doc thought we wanted to hear.
So if you have a moment please spare a thought for him. And on the off chance if you know someone who speaks English in Mukdahan, Thailand, drop Dad or me an email.
