Colleen and David Lawson, co-plaintiffs in McDonald v. Chicago, gave me an update on Otis McDonald’s condition and well as the circumstances that put him the hospital. This update is made with the permission of Mr. McDonald and his family.<\/p>\n
\nHe was standing at home and felt dizzy and did not fall, just let
\nhimself crumple to the floor. After ten minutes, he felt well enough to
\nrise and out himself to bed, tho it was mid-afternoon. His kids found
\nhim like that and rushed him to the hospital, where it was determined
\nthat he had blood on his brain and put him in ICU. Subsequent tests
\ndetermined that surgery is not indicated at this point, and that it
\ndiscontinuing his blood pressure meds may be efficacious in relieving
\nthat pressure. The docs felt he had been on them too long and didn’t
\nneed them, and he reports a marked increase in feeling better this
\nmorning, following discontinuance of the blood pressure meds. As of
\nlast night, he was moved out of ICU and into a regular room. Although
\nvisits are discouraged without prior consent of the family, Otis
\nwelcomes your cards and has given permission for this status update to
\nbe shared with any interested persons.<\/i>
