    peace through musicHey Now , been out of touch for a while so here's an update.....Norman is still in intensive care, but is being weaned off the ventilator. Breathing on his own for 8 hours a day. It has been 4 weeks today, since he went in to the hospital. They deprived him of oxygen and or blood pressure for four to five minutes and he had a bilateral stroke. He wakes up and watches tv with us and can move all his limbs although not on command. Our hope is that he will go to a rehab center soon, but there are some doom and gloom professionals at the hospital that would like us to make other decisions such as ending his life. Thank you for all your positive vibes and the Love that you've sent him. The legal matter has been put off until after the new year. Wishing Peace and Love and Happiness to all.

People all over the world are shouting, 'End the war.' And the band played on. Great googalooga, can't you hear me talking to you. Sayin'... ball of confusion.

    The last letter
    IS "K" whats that spell, what's that spell, Well c'mon all you big strong men another country got it's self in a terrible jam, just over near the other stans. So put down your books and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lot of fun And it's 1-2-3 what are we fighting for. Well anyway that tune goes through my head regularly and I ad-lib to whatever the sit is. We have made alot progress on the global war on terrorism. But as we all see it is not over and may never because of idiotic fanatics. And as we see no one is immune. Maybe that's the problem they don't F enough. Everyday I read the star's and stripes and shake my head to all the dumb shit the world over, like people dying at wal-mart being trampled and womens child lost to injury, to morans shoot each other in toy store WTF is going on. The India deal and here in Iraq the average is 2 american deaths per day. Sometimes man I just want to go away to the moutains and say fuck it, I did my part and isolate myself from society and only relate with animals trees and well of course deadheads. But that really wouldn't be a way to still give hope and peace to others after I have put down my rifle. Would kinda be like quitting. Anyway heres some positve vibes to all to look out for each other no matter who it is. Most of us know that just a little love and light goes a long way. Everywhere is freaks and hairies Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity Tax the rich, feed the poor Till there are no rich no more Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you Population keeps on breeding Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy Life is funny, skies are sunny Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you World pollution, theres no solution Institution, electrocution Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war Id love to change the world But I dont know what to do So Ill leave it up to you

this from Gans hisself: "Hey all - thanks for the kind thoughts! I am in a hospital in Carson City, Nevada. It turned out not to be pericarditis, but a "mild to moderate" heart attack. Last night I had an angioplasty and I now have three stents in my heart. Had a long meeting with the cardiologist this morning. He expects I will make a more or less complete recovery. I woke up yesterday morning in Lee Vining CA, in a motel overlooking Mono Lake. My plan was to drive out into the Basin & Range to visit Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, but I felt kinda weird after breakfast and so I sat in my hotel room until checkout time, hoping the bellyache would pass. Still feeling pretty rocky, I decided to head for the nearest city rather than go ahead with my middle-of-nowhere plan. When I hit Carson City two hours later, I was not feeling much better so I went on into the ER. " more healing vibes and ++++ vibes for all! love&peace.

Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts. We spoke at length with the cardiologist today, and he is confident that my recovery will be pretty close to 100%. I have been (for the most part) doing the right things, lifestyle-wise, for several years, but my genetic predisposition to heart disease means I have to start taking some meds. I had to cancel a few gigs, but I will be on my feet and ready to rock with the Reptiles at the Starry Plough in Berkeley on September 4 - extra poignant for me, since it is a memorial for our longtime partner Al Feldstein, who died of a heart attack on June 21.

Candy is sedated and on a ventilator which sounds worse than it is. This allows her body to rest and the machine actually forces more oxygen and medicine into her lungs. Her temperature is normal and the bacteria count is dropping . It will be a long journey however I feel more hopeful than yesterday. In speaking with the ER and ICU nurses this is the beginning of a Tidal wave of Flu to Pneumonia cases. By midnite they had admitted 5 other patients all under 55 with the same problem, Get your swine flu shots and stay on top of anyone feeling sick and not wanting to go to the doctor. Thanks to all our extended family! Love Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Well today we all including the wonderful staff were smiling a little-her oxygen level continues to rise and her temp. dropped a little more.It is strange how the terrible becomes routine-When I walk into the ICU unit I look at the monitors to see what her oxygen/blood, breathing and blood pressure rates are. As I suit up and put on my gloves and mask I ask the attending nurse how the latest X ray was and the PEEP level of the respirator. A week ago I knew nothing of these terms or what the numbers meant. Now I ask as casually as I would if I asking for cream in a cup of coffee. It is surreal. I am looking at ( this a wild guess) thousands of dollars of trained professionals per hour in the ICU, millions of dollars worth of equipment and medicines. In one ICU in a hospital that 4.

I just read my post of Oct 5 and today it seems so long ago. By the 7th Candy's situation was getting worse the H1N1 was still showing up in tests her white cell count was low and her oxygenination level was slowly dropping. The Doctors told me to to be prepared for the worse and call the kids home. That afternoon the doctor in the ICU in charge of infectous diseases asked a friend at the CDC and The FDA to release an experimental anti-viral drug. It stops the virus from reproducing. They flew it down by courier from Atlanta and that afternoon they started administering it. Now it was literally a matter of keeping her alive long enough to allow her body to kill the H1N1 off. Sunday and Monday were tough I sat by her through much of the day holding her hand. Monday afternoon her oxygen level began to pick upBy Tuesday morning her temp had dropped her oxygen level increased even more. Tuesday afternoon the doctors and staff thought her lungs were sounding better. The medicine had worked. Each day has shown an improvement. She is not out of the woods yet but I think We are real close to saying she has beaten the H1N1 and the pneumonia. Thanks all for all of your love and thoughts.
