Mike is back in the hospital, in emergency. He woke up around 2:30 in great pain, as if, in his words, his ex-wife was taking a hunting knife to him through his left ribcage.
They're going to give him a CAT scan. The good news is it's not a pulmonary embolism, which is what he first thought it was. But he is leaking and his white cell count is elevated, so peritonitis may be at work.
He was in good enough spirits when I spoke with him and his voice did not sound weak--he was lucid and able to express things with humor. He does request we reactivate the prayer circle.
As always, when I know more, you'll know more.

Hope it's not MRSA, that crap is rife throughout hospitals these days, and led to my mom's premature death from pneumonia.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop, David. Don't know what we'd do without you keeping us up to date on the Dutchman's condition.
Hope all is well with you and yours, too.
Thanks David for keeping us updated on Mike. We're praying for his healing and a successful and full recovery!
By the way, you've got a terrific website here with the news stories I like to read.
I'm glad you guys are friends!
"reactivate the prayer circle." Check.
Add to Prayers of the Prayers of the People at Mass tonight.
Check.
I'm extremely sorry to hear about Mike's complications. I wish all the best for him and hope that he will enjoy full recovery and return home soon.

Thank you so much = I know we all appreciate you keeping us informed and if you speak with him or Rosey soon please tell them that we are all standing ( or kneeling ) in a united manner to pray for him and the family. and remind them please that I am only an hour away if I can do something to help. Thank you, thank you, God bless.
We really appreciate hearing updates about Mike. I've held off e-mailing good wishes to him, as you asked. Please pass on that there is a big, silent, herd of us out here pulling for him.
God bless Mike and let him heal well and smoothly.
