Without his voice box, he is unable to speak, but he responds to questions with a nod of his head. He has been moved to a rehabilitation center and expects to be there for a few weeks. He again shook my hand when I left.

Your prayers are working.

George

UPDATE: Here is an email and update on Shipmate Ed Moran from George O'Brien:

"We stopped at the hospital and Ed Moran appears to be resting comfortably. Although there was little response at first, he recognized my USS Altair hat, and tears came to his eyes when I told him that all of his shipmates were pulling and praying for him. He even raised his hand and shook mine.

Ed had the stroke on March 3rd and was hospitalized briefly and then home for awhile before returning to the hospital last week. He is probably going to be transferred to a rehab facility this week.

Please pray for Ed?s recovery. George"
