I emailed Window Guy (Steve) today, asking about where he has been. In reply I received the following from his wife, Debbie.:
"Steve has been in the hospital since Christmas Day; It has been quite a roller coaster ride with the ups and downs. We brought him in as he had difficulty breathing and retaining fluid. While in ER, his EKG was doing funny things so they wanted to be sure he was not having a heart attack. Well, they did a CT Scan with contrast which set his kidneys into failure. Loooooooong story short, kidney failure led to his needing dialysis. Then his IV became infected and gave him infection which turned into pneumonia. And he had to be intubated(tube in throat) 3 times. At hospital now and today is better day. The throat tube came out. He remains on dialysis to remove fluid at faster pace and in hopes kidneys will kick in and start working once again."
I asked if I could let the guys on the forum know, and she said it was OK. I also promised a few prayers for Steve. When Debbie told Steve, he was "he was VERY touched & appreciative." and "we accept ANY & ALL PRAYERS; A lot of prayer and faith has helped us thru all of this"
What do you say, fellows, can we whip a few words up for Steve to The Big Man?
