Update
Here is a text from Joe's wife with the latest news:
"His numbers are coming down and things are slowly turning around. His Dr. today said he will have surgery in 5-6 weeks he is making plans for Visalia however I said I'm selling his car keys and putting all his stuff on free section of Craigslist ? Joe is being a very good patient who wants to get out of jail quickly. I had no idea that a bad pancreatitis can shut down other organs and can be so painful. Yes that's right I know joe was on morphine every 1-2 hours in agony it's so painful you were lucky they caught it in time. They said gall bladder but his pancreatitis is major problem we will hopefully know later this week. This has been a very difficult journey for both of us I have been here all night with him and all day since he got here 1 week ago. They can't operate on him now it's too inflamed."
