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! ♥

Alex posted this tonight:

hey everyone its Alex again, my dad is still in the hospital looks good but still no changes and we dont know when he'll be home. And he wanted to let you all know he said hi.

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-

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

Brooks- hoping for your quick healing!!!

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