Ronny is having open heart surgery this morning, in Los Angeles. This is potentially career threatening, not to mention life threatening.
Please keep Ronny in your prayers. He is a very friendly, funny, and energetic guy, who brings a lot to his teams.

Oh, yes, and don't forget one of the million NCAA rules: Well wishers are reminded that per NCAA rules no money or gifts may be sent.
Though, since he is not a student-athlete anymore, I don't know why that matters. Whatever.
Update: Ronny is out of surgery. The story is here.
Former Gonzaga University men's basketball player Ronny Turiaf underwent successful open heart surgery Tuesday at Stanford Medical Center to repair a dialated aorta.
Turiaf was in surgery for approximately six hours and was reported resting comfortably by Gonzaga assistant coach Tommy Lloyd when contacted about 3 p.m. today.
"It went great," Lloyd said of the post-operative report. "They only had to repair a dilated aorta. That's great news."
Man, why does he get "ronny"@gonzaga.edu? They gave first name addresses to a few people at the law school and as far as I could tell it was the ones that sucked up the most.
ReplyDeleteSo you didn't get one? I guess he's special.
ReplyDeleteNo, I just wanted dahlvang, but the formula was first initial then first 7 letters of your last name, or at the law school, first initial and entire last name (I think, I don't know if anyone had really long ones).
