Vanderboegh Medical Update

He had a rough night last night and is exhausted.  Evidently he got up in the middle of the night completely out of it and was taking tubes out of himself and wandering the hall.  The good news is they did some sort of test on him and he's not leaking.

It's a tough balance--he wants back into things and that acts as a great motivator, but there is only so much he can do--a spirit is willing but flesh is weak kind of dilemma.

I repeat: Hold up on emails and Sipsey Street comments. The guy already has more than enough to exhaust himself with.

Thank you for repeating that statement - remind us daily if you need to; no matter what he says, the procedures he came through are NOT minor, and recovery will take longer than he thought. Prayers continue, for him & his family and of course you and yours.
'specially them feral sons!

Thanks for the update and "the watch". Having been through something similar years ago, necessitating an 8-week rehab and more, and years of slow re-building, I know that faith, hard work,taking the long view and staying with it pays off. Someone else else will have to carry the standard for a while, but Mike will return to the line.
