Just got this message from Mason, via Kim Bennett...


Mason said...

Bobby Joe Jones has been in M'boro hospital since last Sunday with an infection...
Read below...they asked for prayers today said he was going downhill fast
Mason


"....The hospital doctor has made decision to move Bobby to Vanderbilt in the morning, they have tested him for everything they know to test for and no results on finding what is wrong with him. The antibioctics are the strongest they can give and he is not responding as he should. He will be assigned a Infectious Diease Doctor once he gets to Vanderbilt"


PRAYERS NEEDED BADLY

Ohhhh...that is so sad. I will say some prayers for him.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bobby Joe and the family .

I am hearing from several fronts that Bobby Joe was diagnosed with pneumonia when he got to Vanderbilt. He has had heart problems for years and, once they get the pneumonia under control, they are planning to get his heart condition back in order. Thoughts and prayers are with Bobby Joe and his family. I knew Bobby Joe in college and had NO IDEA that he ever had an interest in horses even though many of his friends did. Bobby Joe was also an outstanding basketball player, one of the Kittrell legends. I love the creative names he gives his outstanding colts.

I ran around with Bobby some back in the day. Always knew him to be a great, great guy.
My prayers are with him as well.

Update on Bobby Jones:

"Bobby may get to come home Friday, they are working on thining his blood in order to shock his heart back in rythm. They may do it today or tomorrow. He will require home health services when he gets home for therapy"
