MY NAME IS GAYLE BAKER, GEORGE MCLAINS SISTER. I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND RETIRED FROM THE PLUMAS COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT. GEORGE, ALSO KNOWN AS "COWBOY" A WELL KNOWN AND LOVED MUSICIAN/SINGER SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK AND SUBSEQUENTLY FELL CAUSING AN ANOXIC (NON TRAUMATIC) BRAIN INJURY. HE IS CURRENTLY IN REHABILITATION THERAPY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 4, 2016 FOLLOWED BY A TWO WEEK COMA BEFORE AWAKENING, THEN ANOTHER TWO WEEK MEDICAL OBSERVATION THAT DETERMINED HE COULD BENEFIT FROM REHABILITATION THERAPY. GEORGE IS VERY COMMUNICATIVE NOW AND ABLE TO REMEMBER MANY SONGS HE SANG IN THE PAST. HE IS A FIGHTER WORKING HARD TO GET BACK SKILLS THAT WERE ONCE NATURAL TO HIM. ALTHOUGH GEORGE IS RESPONDING VERY WELL TO REHAB, HE IS ONLY BEGINNING A THIRD WEEK OF IT,  AND HIS INSURANCE WILL END SOON. THIS MUCH NEEDED THERAPY WILL THEN HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET IF HE IS TO RETURN TO A LIFE OF QUALITY AND INDEPENDENCE. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY HAS ALLOWED HIM TO PLAY PIANO AND GUITAR AGAIN SHOWING THAT HIS LONG TERM MEMORY IS POSITIVE. THE HOSPITAL STAFF SAY THEY HATE TO SEE HIM GO BECAUSE THEY ENJOY HEARING HIM SING AND PLAY.  AT THIS VERY MOMENT HE IS LEARNING TO WALK AGAIN AND MAKING GOOD PROGRESS, HOWEVER THIS WILL NEED A LONGER CONTINUANCE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. YOUR ASSISTANCE WILL ALLOW GEORGE TO REACH HIS GOAL OF RETURNING TO HIS LIFELONG CAREER IN MUSIC.  GEORGE LIVES IN ENGLEWOOD FLORIDA AND AT THIS TIME IN REHAB IN SARASOTA FLORIDA WHERE I WENT TO SEE HIM.  GEORGE HAS A GREAT BUNCH OF FRIENDS IN FLORIDA BUT I KNOW HE HAS MANY MORE OUT THERE IN TEXAS, CALIFORNIA AND BAHAMAS SO I WANT TO GET THIS OUT TO REACH EVERYONE THAT IN ANYWAY CAN HELP. GEORGE HAS ENTERTAINED AND TOUCHED  ALOT OF LIVES IN HIS LIFE TIME AND  GOD HAS BROUGHT HIM THIS FAR, LETS TAKE THIS COWBOY RIDE WITH HIM. ON BEHALF OF MY BROTHER GEORGE, HIS SISTERS  AND HIS FIANCE STEPHANIE WE WILL BE FOREVER THANKFUL AND GOD BLESS.
