@kevgib67 how's your boy doing?

 

[kevgib67]

He is still in the hospital and states he is feeling better. His lactic acid has been increasing, often a sign of sepsis but his white blood cell count is normal. They are beginning to think his blood cultures were contaminated. Hopefully, once confirmed, they can do the blood patch which will give him instant relief. Thanks for asking Luis!

@tbrown have you and your wife been able to go home yet?

We got home about 30 minutes ago. She's settled in.

Maybe he eats when the food is already on the sand or rocks, when you feed him try to stay close and watch to see if he eats later.

Wow a lot of catching up to do.

Kevin, your son is in my prayers. He has been since his ordeal started but I don't think I ever mentioned it.

Wes, it sounds like you've got really good medical care. You're in my prayers.

Tim, I hope your wife has a speedy recovery. Your burrito sounds like it was really good. Sorry they didn't have a better selection of brews. I think coffee does count but even water isn't always enough. I ended up in the hospital last summer from dehydration after drinking plenty of water. I drink mainly Smart Water during the summer now, even though it is insanely overpriced because I can't drink stuff like Gatorade and according to the EMTs they almost lost me on the way to the ER.

Everyone good, late, morning.

I have to say, seeing everyone take so much time out of their day to catch up with everyone is one of the coolest things about this thread. It shows such a genuine level of compassion that this world is missing in large part.

 

[kingranch2003]

Lol I like how they didnt even bother with a number. The forecast just basically says, "Stay Inside"!!!

[kingranch2003]

Dang Yankees complain all winter about snow and cold and then all summer about heat and humidity!

 

[kingranch2003]

I don't really know what this guy's life expectancy is, but mine passed away 2 days ago after almost 2 years. My blood shrimp had already been gone for a while, and today I brought 2 cleaners.

Yours lasted longer than mine. You got this brother

Good evening, folks! I hope you are all doing well.
