Default Mudbug in hospital update

I just received word that Dave is in ICU after emergency surgery. He is apparently out of surgery but can' talk due to all the tubes.His wife told me he is communicating though with a chalkboard. Anyone who knows Dave ,knows he is an upbeat very positive guy but he has had more than his fair share of health issues for a young man. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers please.

Sorry to hear this. Dave knows how to battle, but sure hope he can pull through and recover!

If you are in contact, please tell him 'Diver sends his best.

Thanks for the update! Last I saw him was before Christmas at Canadian Tire - He has had his share of health issues, that's for sure. Such a great guy. Will be praying for him and his wife.

Hoping for a rapid recovery for Dave, he’s a good sort for sure.

Let’s have a naphtha light vigil outside his hospital room window.

Not sure of the nature of his medical issues, but I hope it had nothing to do with hoisting absurdly large rabbits

Default Update

I was in to visit Dave today and he is in good humor but completely exhausted . This whole trauma is related to his battle with Crohn's . He had a severe attack last week and he said his doctor compared it to your colon having a heart attack, as it basically ruptured. He is lucky to be alive from the sounds of it. He will have a some serious recovery to do but anyone who knows him ,knows what a tough guy he is and he will pull through this.
I asked him about whether he would like some visitors but he prefers not at the moment as he is just so tired and kept busy with specialist and others at him throughout the day. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers and he is very appreciative of that
