Transfered to University of Penn. Hospital

Hi All,Richard arrive by ambulance at Hosp. of the University of Pennsylvania at around 8:00PM last night after a day of waiting, calling HUP, waiting, calling HUP, and MORE waiting. He was supposed to be transported in the morning from LGH to HUP, but they gave his bed away. Betsey Collins, the head nurse at LGH tried unceasingly all day. Finally, we made a few calls of our own to Richard's cousin, Dr. MaryLou Galantino-Pack, and Richie is now in room 3009-A in the Rhoads building. Thanks to Mary Lou and Betsey Collin for ALL of the phone calls and time. You did it with your persistance and a little clout!I'm not sure of the phone # as of yet, but Richie says hello and thank you for ALL of your support. Right now, he needs to rest, his chest is giving him some pain, and they have him on morphine until they can diagnose his condition.
