Does anyone know what is going on with John Dingell?

[demmiblue]

Friends and colleagues know me and know I would be in Washington right now unless something was up. I am home with John and we have entered a new phase. He is my love and we have been a team for nearly 40 years.

I will be taking each day as it comes. We thank people for their friendship and support and ask for prayers and privacy during this difficult time.

1. Didn't he have a health issue, last year?

I guess, with him being 92, this is to be expected. This makes me so very sad.

2. He had a fall and a heart attack within the last year or so.

It sounds ominous.

3. Heart attack in September

Sounds like he’s taken a turn for the worse. 😢🙏

4. John Dingell in hospice care after cancer diagnosis

Washington — The family offormer U.S. Rep. John Dingell said he is in hospice care after a cancer diagnosis,and they are requesting privacy.

The 92-year-old Dearborn Democrat was diagnosed a year ago with prostate cancer that had metastasized and Dingell decided not to treat it, a family member said Wednesday. He recently went into hospice care.

His wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, said her husband is in relatively good spirits and even dictated a tweet on Wednesday because he didn't want to not respond to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.

"He is John Dingell. He is in charge. Ordering everyone around. Doing it his way," she said.
