Jose Pena, well known UT cheerleader from 1969-1972( BSEE'72 UT amd MSEE Stanford'75) is in grave condition in Baylor Hospital, Dallas with pneumonia.. Jose is the short guy at every UT sporting event with the Texas flag......a great supporter and always positive and upbeat. He's not expected to make it. Your prayers or positive channeling would be appreciated, I'm sure, by his family, loved ones and literally legions of friends. God bless Jose and his family.

Jose's Condition as of 7/7 10:00 AM:
Jose's family has made the unbearably difficult decision to take Jose off of the ventilator. The damage to his lungs was just to overwhelming. All we can do now is pray for a peaceful passing for this brilliant, kind, and wonderful man.
Jose's Condition as of 7/7 2:09 AM:
Left the hospital about 10:30pm Friday night and Jose was still fightin'. We had quite a crew in there earlier in the evening. It was a sometimes sad, sometimes funny gathering. We were all talking to Jose knowing he was hearing us, sedation and all. There was no significant change, although his systems are beginning to slow down. There is a 24 hour vigil with him. The ICU crew has been very accommodating to everyone even allowing a group in the room.
Jose's Condition as of 7/6:
Just talked to Rick at the hospital. No change in Jose's condition. Lungs are about the same. The Dr. told Rick that 99% of patients in this condition don't make it. BUT, when has Jose ever followed anything conventional. He can be in the 1% class. We've always put him there.
Jose's Condition as of 7/5:
Sorry to report this sad news-today Jose Pena has taken a serious turn for the worse. This is third hand, from Brazos Bevo through Jose's brother Rick, through the attending doctor; but not good news.
The lung function seems to have pretty much shut down, and the doctor has called the family in. Now this is similar to the news of a couple of weeks ago, and Jose rallied to the point the doctors thought he was overcoming the pneumonia, but obviously, this is not a good turn.
