[Group523] Michael Badnarik Seriously Ill

[L. Neil Smith]

Folks --

    Michael Badnarik, one of liberty's best friend and a very good 
friend of the Smith family is in a hospital following a severe heart 
attack. This was to have been my weekly announcement. However before I 
prepared it, the message from Dick Boddie Arrived, Courtesy of Scott 
Bieser. I checked Wikipedia and the news was already there. I'll get to 
my announcement tomorrow.

 From Wikipedia:

Badnarik suffered a heart attack on the morning of December 21, 2009, 
while in Viroqua, Wisconsin attending a hearing regarding a raw milk 
case. After the hearing he boarded a car to go to lunch with friends, 
then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the 
paramedics. They attempted CPR to revive him three times with no 
success. Upon the fourth attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic 
behavior. He was taken by helicopter to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU 
in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.[13] [14]

 From Dick Boddie:

p.m. December 28, 2009

I just got off the phone with Michael Badnarik's Mother, Elaine. She
informed me that his condition seems to have "backslid". They were were
hoping that he would have been released on Wednesday to his Mother's
care in Indiana but his condition is still critical.

Michael came out of his unconscious state, unbound his wrists some how,
and removed the breathing tube from his throat. His mother remarked
that when Michael came to he asked to be released. He doesn't
understand how serious his situation is.

The hospital had to sedate him again to put the breathing tube back in
because he is having trouble breathing.

They cannot find the reason for his breathing problem... so he is
currently sedated to ease the pressure on his lungs and heart.

His heart is still in atrial fibrillation and had to be hit with the
AED defibrillator to reset its rhythm.

He will be sedated until his condition can be stabilized...

He is still at Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI. Please
do not call or visit the hospital, only family is allowed.

Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

In Freedom,
