Mike has informed me that Chris, his youngest brother, has contracted spinal meningitis and is in a coma. Mike and his sister, Nancy, are headed to Seattle via train on Saturday to be with their brother. Mike describes Chris as a "fundie, a very conservative Christian, very very nice, smart, stubborn, giving, and always generous with his time and resources." Mike has given me permission to say that your prayers and/or well wishes for Chris would be very much appreciated.

Wir beten für Ihren Bruder.

My very best wishes and prayers for Chris's full recovery are speeding along their way to Seattle.
Hopefully modern medicine and sincere prayer will prevail and Chris will recover completely. Best wishes Mike and family.
Where's your birth certificate Barack ?
Nichts gut ist geschehen, da die Auswahl vom Messias bescheinigt wurde.
"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory" Dies ist gut Amazing how much empathy we can stir up as individuals, and how far apart it can blow us when stirred up by social engineer types. Sorry to hear about your brother, Mike. I'd pray for him but being an athiest that would be damned akin to mocking him, eh?
And they write innumerable books; being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness. - T. S. Eliot
Our prayers for Chris and his caregivers!
Thanks for lettiing us know, Chrissie. I'll surely add Chris and family and friends to my prayer list. People can differ in politics, religion, etc., but we all hurt the same when our families are hurting. His CaringBridges Journal is a real eye opener! Geeze......
Thanks for telling us Christine. Chris will be added to the prayer list.
I really hope he pulls through Ferret.

Best regards for your brother, Mike.. I hope he's gonna be okay, bro.
~ Your failure to be informed, does not make me a wacko.
Prayers offered up to the Big Guy.
Hope he recovers from it. Whether I agree with someone's politics or not I don't wish sickness on anyone.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. We are all connected, which is how I see things from my religious point of view. I don't have much to say right now and have no desire for political rough and tumble, which Chris hates. He is a social butterfly to my iconoclastic prickliness. He is into sports passionately -- far far more then me, is a very devote Christian who's religion is deeply important to him. When our sister passed on of cancer a few years ago, he was the one who relocated to Colorado to care for her and spent the most time and resources on her. He waved us away from the hard part and took it on himself. And he never once complained or lamented anything this put upon him. He is a wonderful man. This is incredibly hard and painful, and I'll leave it at that. It is painful to know him well enough to know one of the first things he will think about and do when he wakes up, he will pray for and think about all those who are less fortunate then him in this sort of affliction. And do so with charm and humor I don't hold a candle to. I'll be back here when I am able to do so.
Amen.
thanks for posting Chris's photo. i read Leah's last journal post and it sounded encouraging. try to stay optimistic, Mike, and keep visualizing Chris whole.

I hope your brother Chris improves and makes a speedy recovery.
A brother is oneof God's most precious blessings. Prayers going his way. And may Peace go with you.

I'm going to pray like there's a tomorrow for your bro. I pray there is a chance.
Prayers for Chris raised here as well.

Thank you, appreciate it. Hoffa, leave the damn squirrels alone, you know what they do with nuts like you. <./teasing>
He's dead..........
I am so sorry, Mike.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP oh, Mike, no. i'm so very sorry. i know the pain you are feeling. my younger sister died from head injuries she sustained in a car accident when she was only 20 years old. you have my sincere sympathy.
Sorry to hear that Mike. I know you will all miss him and I pray that you will someday know the comfort of knowing that he is in a much better place now. His body is dead, but his soul will never die.
God is always good!
My condolences. It is a loss, a burden one carries. FWIW I do not believe the shedding of the mortal cloak is a final end. It is an end and a new beginning.

I lost my kid sis six years ago. It's a singular pain for which you have my compassion.
Thank you. I'll be back. I have things to do. I appreciate the kind words for my kid brother.
My condolences to you and yours.
I am so sorry for your loss, Mike. Please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family.
Mike... Cherish the memories of a loved brother for the rest of your life. I have been doing thus for many years, it will comfort you and your family. Gods love to you.
Thoughts, prayers, and best wishes up.
Mike, I'm sorry to read of your brother passing away.
I'm very sorry for your loss and wish there was something I could do to ease your pain.
