From the Dakota Scout, please keep the Barranco family in your prayers.
A Sioux Falls public official and leading contender to become South Dakota’s next state auditor is recovering after a medical emergency earlier this week that nearly cost him his life.
The Dakota Scout has confirmed that City Councilor David Barranco is hospitalized at Avera McKennan in Sioux Falls following emergency abdominal surgery Tuesday, an unexpected scare that kept the Southeast District representative from attending municipal proceedings later that day.
All is well, and he came through like a champ. I also had a note from his wife Catherine on how he’s doing:
Hey…. David is in the hospital right now— he had emergency surgery on Tuesday. He’s doing MUCH better, but it’ll be a couple days before he’s discharged. The silver lining is that by happening right now, he’ll have time to fully recover before the Lincoln Days start back up again!
That sounds like a family committed to the campaign trail! Best wishes for a speedy recovery to David.
Wishing David a speedy recovery.
Hoping David is back at council meetings soon, nodding enthusiastically at everything that is said.
Thank God almighty he will be back in time for the Lincoln Day schedule. What matters most. 🤦🏼♀️
Mass produced rubber chicken with a cream sauce is very healing.
Pray for a speedy recovery David! Best to you and your family for Christmas and then your campaign!
