I had an email from Sue Dixon last week, updating me on John's progress and I share it with all those who care about this great Australian adventure strip artist....
"It has been 3 weeks since John was hospitalized for 3 days with pneumonia. It really took a lot out of him and has advanced his Lewy Body Dementia. He still knows people and has short conversations. Cindy drove down from LA and met me at the hospital. Her 3 day stay turned into 10 because I became ill and she took care of the both of us. "John needs help with everthing. As long as he can make it up the stairs once or twice a day we will continue to stay upstairs and sleep until the time comes for him to sleep downstairs. Between the illness and rearranging the furniture I have neglected my emails." Anyone interested in sending a (now belated) birthday greeting to John (or kind wishes to Sue), please post to me: Nat Karmichael, Comicoz PO Box 187 MARGATE BEACH 4019 Queensland (Australia) I shall forward all correspondence received on to the Dixons.... |
