Steve and I visited Brian and his family this morning at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Brian is still heavily sedated and was asleep when we were there, since the doctors want him to rest and heal.
We learned that the surgeons removed a blood clot from his brain. We won't know for at least another 24 hours how the surgery and stroke will affect him.
His family shared an optimistic outlook with us and knows there will probably be some rehabilitation involved.
Brian's wife Linda expressed gratitude for all the prayers and good wishes we have passed along from the HRB staff, friends and business colleagues.
If you would like to send the family a message, please click on the comments link below and enter your thoughts. We'll pass them along to the family.
We'll continue to provide updates as frequently as we receive them.
