Jimmy and Kenny: like peas and rice

Jimmy and Kenny Scruggs have been like brothers since they were in grammar school. In the last several years, Kenny has been fighting Parkinson's and high blood pressure, and more lately diabetes, and recently has developed congestive heart failure.

Suenelle and the children are taking him to Emory, and next Monday he's getting a defibrillator and a pacemaker installed, which should make him feel much better. Suenelle says it's been hard getting all the medicine he's on regulated, and she's trying to get all the calories she can in him which is difficult since he can't have any salt, sugar, fat, or caffeine.

Kenny is an amazing person: always so good humoured and upbeat, and you never hear a word of complaint from him.
