As Jasper Police Chief Gerald Hall remains hospitalized following a Thanksgiving Day heart attack, his wife, Judy, has given an update on his condition. Judy says when Gerald was stricken on Thursday, she took him to Jasper Memorial Hospital, and from there he was flown by medical helicopter to St Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, where he remains in the intensive care unit. According to Judy, Gerald will undergo bypass surgery this week, and although she described his condition as doing better, she stressed that he's not out of the woods yet. Judy went on to say "We greatly appreciate all the prayers and well wishes. You have no idea how much it means to us! Please continue to pray for him and his doctors."
