More details on Harold McElroy

BJ Alums got this email about Beacon Journal business department retiree Harold McElroy, who had surgery to remove his cancerous right lung, from BJ Circulation Department retiree Janet Hall, who forwarded it from Sheryl Scott Sheinin.

Just got off the phone with Mom.

As of last Friday, (Harold) has been moved to a rehab facility. The original plan was for 1 or 2 weeks. Waiting to hear an update and prognosis from Doctors.

He is improving, and regaining strength. May have to keep the feeding tube for a few months, as his throat muscles are not strong enough to swallow even water, without fear of it making it into his lung.
