Brooks was admitted to the hospital with a blockage. His daughter posted a note on Facebook. If you remember, he had his colostomy (?) reversed a few weeks ago and has been having problems ever since.

♥ Wishing you well, Brooks! ♥

    Oh no!
    Oh no! I did see he was not feeling well a couple of days ago.
    Brooks, if you're reading this, know that I am thinking of you and praying for this blockage to get taken care of and for your pain to become minimal.

    Hang in there-

    Oh My Goodness
    I knew things didn't seem to be going well for him after surgery but never thought it was a blockage. Hey Brooks if you are able to be on site, know that you are being thought of and hope for a speedy recovery and come home soon. Let us know how you are doing.

    Hugs! Kim

    I had a blockage last fall, actually 2. One had to be surgically fixed and one resolved on its own.
