Update on Hokie80 - Great News!
As I have shared with all of you, Hokie80 had some challenging medical issues that no one would ask to navigate. Thankfully, he has had his aortic valve replaced, he's our very own new and improved "six million dollar man" (the older Hokies will get this reference) and is heading home just today! Prayers answered and thanks to all of you who have followed his situation. He had some post op issues, but by this afternoon he will be heading home to keep recovering.
Again, THANKS to all of you who read, prayed, posted and followed this. It's what we do when a brother is hurting and in need - we get engaged and provide encouragement, positivity and hope. It's a bond that runs deeper than Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange.
Hokie80 asked that I share the below with TSL.
Again, thank you all. GO HOKIES!
MTH
To my fellow Hokies,
Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for your prayers and comments on TSL over the last several months. And a specific personal thank you to MTH. I am truly humbled by your kindness and support.
Virginia Tech is indeed a special place!
Much love to each and every one of you.
Go Hokies!
