>Roger Behm has been in the hospital with intestinal issues. During a
>colonoscopy several years ago, there were intestinal tears that the doctors
>did not see at the time. The tears healed and left scar tissue. Roger has
>been in pain lately and when he was admitted to the hospital they discovered
>that the scar tissue from these earlier tears had ripped the intestine and
>fecal matter was going back into his system. He was moved to St. Mary's
>Hospital in Madison where they thought they could do a colostomy, but it was
>determined that would not work. Roger is 59 years old and has a wife,
>Theresa, and 5 children, one of whom is an adopted girl who is visually
>impaired. Roger will be moved to hospice care at St. Mary's Hospital in
>Madison and he has asked that the plug be pulled this weekend. He is asking
>for anyone who knows him to stop by the hospital. He wants to say
>"good-bye". Joann relayed that sometimes Roger is coherent and sometimes not
>as he is on many medications. Roger is dedicated to helping so many people
>in his career and always went above and beyond. I hope many of you can make
>it to St. Mary's to grant him his wish.
