This week already sucks. Not only did I have to put my beloved friend down on Friday, but a very good guy is on life support after having a mysterious illness last week. They say it could be some rare fever from a tick. He thought he had the flu and called out then finally went to the hospital and has been in the hospital for about 5 to 6 days. I heard this morning they had to medically induce a coma and that he had to go on life support. Then they said his lungs filled up with fluid so they had to take him off the respiratory. Then his kidneys are not functioning correctly and possible kidney failure. you have to understand-this man worked out religiously and was very strict about diet and exercise. He was always running around barking orders or making people laugh. I really hope he pulls through this! My heart dropped to the floor this morning!!

If you believe in heaven, please pray.

If you believe in karma, send him some good karma

If you believe in positive thoughts and energies-send some his way.

Many of us here Love him and worry that he may not make it back to us for one more joke, laughter or curse word in a jokingly manner that was always his way.

just heard that they have him in ICU and its Lyme disease but not the typical Lyme. I suspect its Rocky Mountain Fever Lyme disease.

I heard they had to be careful because of brain swelling. I can't get anymore information about whether he is conscious or not. One of the big wigs here is going to see him Thursday so that makes me think its not as serious as we think. I just don't understand how a fever can do this much damage. He must have more going on than we know.

still haven't heard anymore-one person thought they heard that he was awake but couldnt talk but they were not sure. I keep sending vibes and whatnot...this will be a big loss as this is one of our guys who has a wealth of knowledge.
