Dear friends, Today, I received an encouraging telephone call from my beloved husband Jeffrey. He informed me that he was called to the Health Services Department this morning by the attending physician. Jeffrey and the physician discussed his prior EKG results and blood test. The physician is making a request for a consultation with an outside cardiac specialist. Per the physician, the approval can take up to 30 days, and if the request is denied, he will appeal the decision. In the meantime, Jeffrey has a follow up appointment with the attending physician on August 29th at 3pm. Although Jeffrey is not receiving immediate medical treatment, we are glad that they are finally taking steps in the right direction. It is still troubling to both of us that such extraordinary actions had to be taken in order for Jeffrey to begin receiving the proper medical care he is entitled to. Jeffrey and I personally want to thank each and every one of you that called, sent emails and letters to the Warden, the President, etc., to assist in Jeffrey receiving medical treatment. We further thank you for your kinds words and letters of support and encouragement written to Jeffrey, as it has provided a light for him in a very dark and desolate existence. Thank you for the continued efforts in signing the petition, and your financial contributions that allow me to spend a weekend each month with the love of my life. We are forever grateful, Holly
