TUESDAY 9/9/08 UPDATE 'HELLO THIS IS JEFF BLOUNT'

Yes, Jeff has pneumonia. They doctor is not sure what kind it is without getting a sample from his lungs, so they are treating all and pulling out the big antibiotics. Todd and Allen (Jeff's cousin) spent some time at Emory today helping Tina with Jeff. She is functioning on little sleep so the help was welcome and appreciated.

So, who arranged the phone call today with Vince Dooley? Yes, Vince Dooley called Jeff at home and when he couldn't reach him, he called Tina's cell phone. Of all the days for Jeff to have the honor, this wouldn't have been the first choice, but despite the fog that he's been in, the fact that he was talking to Vince Dooley brought the UGA football loving fan out! The reality is, Jeff may not remember the conversation the had, but Tina made arrangements for them to speak again soon. Rumor is, Todd and Allen were 'gitty school girls' over the call and let everyone on the floor know that Jeff and Vince were talking.

Vince said that several people have asked him to call Jeff and wanted to knowing what an incredible person Jeff is in our community. Thank you to everyone who helped arrange this!
