Hey Gang,
Got an email from Moth's Angel and here's the latest scoop. I'm gonna cut and paste it here and interject as needed.
"He's still in ICU on a ventilator. It will be a week on Saturday since the surgery. This email was sent on the 4th. I apologize for the delay in getting this to you all. They say he is doing ok, but when they took him off for a day he really had a hard time breathing. They had to deep lung suction some plugs from his lungs, and put him back on the machine. They say they will try to get him off of it tomorrow. Tomorrow came and they tried to get him breathing on his own strength but it didn't work out again. They had to re-intubate him which with the condition of his throat right now is very invasive. Yesterday they put in a tracheotomy so that when they try to remove him from the ventilator again they can easily just flip some switches and have him ventilating if needed. His condition is stable, but still critical. They are hoping to get him out of ICU and into his own room in the next few days. He is on IV for pain, another for sedation, and of course fluids in yet another. He is getting TPN which is nutrition thru the veins, also has a JPEG tube into the small intestine for more nutrition. He has a wound vac for the incision in the stomach and 2 drainage tubes for the excess fluid in the abdomen. I go there everyday Usually twice a day. and sometimes I believe he knows I am there.
Please keep praying for him and let the "board" know he needs extra prayers as well.
Will try and update you when I can.

I’ve heard how many of you have helped and offered support over these many months now, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It gives me new hope in humanity and great pride in my fellow tokers here at ICMag. She mentioned many of you who post here. Moth’s wife does check in here and reads these posts in his absence and it’s encouraging to her as well to see so many in support of her husband. She needs our support as much as Moth during this time. Everything is taking quite a toll on her. Please offer your wishes and prayers to her as well.
I’m leaving Friday for a wedding out west and then Monday heading for Moth’s home state of Texas. I hear parts there have been in 100+ degree temps for over 40 days now. That’s just unbelievable to me coming from up here. But then the extreme colds we experience seems unbelievable to Moth. I’m not sure how well we will be able to communicate if at all while I am there, but we will find a way. Visiting hours at the hospital are most of the day so I will be spending as much time as possible with Moth. His wife says that seeing another face will be good for him. I just wish I was able to get more time away from work.
Thank you all again for supporting Moth.
