As many of you know Faron Morales has been ill since the returned from he trolley run event. His mom called me to give me an update on his health. Faron is still in hospital in Witchita. They are running a number of tests (cat scan, upper GI) to determine what is causing his high fevers.

Please keep Faron in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you very much for all the thoughts and prayers.

My adventure with the hospital started on Sunday April 29th to May 2 at Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center, Chanute, KS; 103 degree temperature, stomach on fire and pains, I was very cold, but hot all over. My temperature kept going up and down. I was given tylenol for the temperature and morphine for the stomach pain. Then on May 2 - I was transferred by ambulance to Via Christi St Francis Hospital, Wichita, KS and was discharged Tuesday, May 8 at 10am.

I had two CT scans, several x-rays, and an echocardiogram; The Doctors finally decided that I had pancreitis caused by an infection in my gallbladder. Wednesday through Friday I had no food, Thursday I had some ice but it upset my stomach, so the docs order nothing for me until Saturday; I had liquid diet on Saturday. Sunday I was able to a liquid meal with oatmeal, lunch was a full liquid meal, then dinner was solid food. Monday I had three solid meals, then Tuesday has breakfast and was discharged. I lost a total of 18 lbs; went in at 210 lbs. and left at 192 lbs.

My cardiologist told me absolutely no more alcohol for me and I had to stick with my cardiology diet. My transplant doctor has grounded me from flying out of state until July. I told him about CIV and he shook his head and told me that it was not a good idea.

Thank you so much for all the support
