Dibles Posted February 25, 2017 Share The latest FB update from Kevin. Seeing Barry Mccallum was hard today. He was sleeping, breathing well, his markers all good, but I miss his eyes and his moans and his bull**** about "I'm okay". He had a little wobble yesterday afternoon. Wobble is the best way to put it. He had a reaction to a transfusion. As the doc said, he took a hit to his kidneys, the ones that have just come off dialysis, and a membrane on his lungs. They worked on him yesterday afternoon. Another CBC old boy, Stephen Toich (spelling), part of the ICU, gave us details on what exactly happened. The summary is this: Barry came through, he and his doctors and sisters and drugs won this fight. He was sleeping today. He will be asleep for a while. I went to Grapes and listened to stories about the friend they called the "stunt man". My brother was a kid who never grew up. He lived a life and also treaded water. Tomorrow the treading of water starts again. cfcjim, Joe Low, gummibear and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
