DEAR ARVIND;

These are truly sad news. However, it seems that thanks to the prompt and appropriate action by Becky, Jim should be able to recover.

Karmentzu and I will keep Jim in our thoughts with wishes of a speedy recovery.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

Enrico

Dear Colleagues,

 

I’m very sorry to inform that Jim had a heart attack last night.  Becky was vigilant about the symptoms and took him to IU Arnett where, owing to lack of space in the cardiac unit, he’s in their ICU.  He had a catheterization procedure this morning - two arteries were 100% blocked, so they put 2 stents in.  He has two more arteries that are 75% blocked but they currently plan to treat those with medication.

 

Because of the many flu cases in the Lafayette area, they are only permitting family members to see him.  I’ll keep you informed of developments as they become available.

 

Pl keep Jim and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Arvind
