Brian’s a great guy — I traveled with him in Germany last September.
I just happened upon this startling news of his accident — any more news of his health?

Also, with a few phonecalls I discovered that if you can’t give blood, you can send a monetary donation.(This is what I’m doing).
Anything is OK, even $10 or $20. Send it to:

attn: Finance Dept.
Red Cross
100 Red Cross Circle
Pomona CA 91768

ON THE CHECK write in the memo line “So. Cal. Blood Services — for Brian Clark”

the phone number there is 909.859.7000

From Brian’s doctor:

Quick update on Brian for Saturday, March 14, 2009.

Brian is still on the ventilator. His oxygen level is not yet at the level they want before weaning. They will try again early next week. Clots should “dissolve” by then as well, also helping his lung function. No additional clots as a venous filter has been placed to catch any other potential clots. He is comfortable and sedated. Should be a quiet weekend with everyone getting some rest.

I am still encouraged as each day of stability is another day closer to coming home.

In preparation for Brian’s return, let’s have a great turn out for the blood drive. Encourage those who have not yet signed up to donate at the alternate sites (or any other Red Cross blood drive) and email me that they have done so. Matt Stewart has informed me that we could possibly be looking at 1000 units being donated in Brian’s name across the country.

Let’s keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

Can’t make your blood drive so I went to the local red cross to donate in Brian’s name. They said they couldn’t do it because my blood didn’t match his. Mine was zinfandel and his was syrah.

Best of luck in a speedy recovery.

Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement for Brian. He’s a tough guy and we believe he will recover fully. Brian loves GrapeRadio and enjoys hearing from listeners. We will ensure he gets to see all of your comments.

Keep listening! Brian will be back!

Sorry I am not in California to help as I do regularly give blood.

I hope Brian pulls through quickly.

Our prayers go out to Brian and his family. GR will be missed at the Family Winery events this coming week.

I donate platelets regularly – most recently last Saturday as a matter of fact. As they say, you never know when someone in your life will need blood or platelets. It’s a great public service anyone can perform.

It’s a lot easier than doing what Brian does! Do it!!

I’m a big fan of the show and was shocked to hear of Brian’s accident. I guess as a dedicated listener you unconsciously feel as if you are some small part of the Grape Radio family? I was unexpectedly quite saddening by the bad news.

Bro: Be strong, stay positive, and recover well.
