humblegunner has been in the hospital since last Wednesday, October 3.
He has been extremely ill and today, after four days of antibiotics and the removal of a large amount of fluid from the area surrounding his right lung, he is finally beginning to feel better. His doctors have said that he will be hospitalized for several more days.
I'm having some trouble with that Eaker. Is that a step up... or down?
Nevermind.
I'm praying for humble up here in mountain land.
Prayers up for a smooth transition back to good health! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Prayers continue for a complete healing of hg’s lungs. May God bless you all.

DANG! I’m just now reading about you, Humble, and want you to know everyone is pulling for our Houston treasure!
While you’re still ailing, I’ll be saying several prayers on your behalf until I hear that you’re home, safe and sound so GIT ‘ER DONE, FRiend!
(And take good care of those lungs. We only get one set.)
I’m so sorry to hear that humblegunner is experiencing a decline. I’ll be at a prayer retreat all day tomorrow, and I’ll keep his situation on the front burner!
Prayers for you fellow Freeper.

When I saw gunner this afternoon he was in great spirits (sorta). Dr. B (the Lung King) told him this morning that he would be moved into a regular room. They were “this close” to moving him when Dr. R came it and said he wanted to do the brontosaurs procedure (my medical jargon is worse than pax’s). Gunner has decided he does not like Dr. R because he is evil.
He really hates the ICU because “It is like being in a hallway, the lights are never turned off, there are all kinds of people walking around & talking and it is hot.”. Gunner also mentioned that he REALLY hated getting a sponge bath from a Pilipino grandma.
One the plus side, Dr. B said she will be taking out one of his chest tubes real soon. While I was visiting him, his nurse was recording the fluid from the chest tubes ~ two of them had produced very little fluid, and the liquid in the third one was considerably reduced from previous days.
Good luck & get well, sir...
Thank you both for the updates.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers gunner!
Sounds better, Mom .. thanks .. how wonderful
he has so many devoted FRiends ..that’s healing
in itself.
LOL!!!
Humble. You ain’t never gonna live this one down!
Get well soon and God bless you.

I certainly hope humble gets out of the hospital and home soon. Give him my best and tell him my prayers are with him.
I will remember that and remind him when this is over. Thanks for the news.
Very nice Eaker. You’re nothing like Glock claimed your were...
Dr. R is in for big trouble when Gunner gets well!
Father God, please put Your healing hand on HG...heal those lungs, please stop any pneumonia that may be forming, please take ALL illness from his body and make him well again. Lord, we pray for the medical teams working with him....please guide them, Lord. Show them the way that YOU want them to go to help this man heal. In Your Name, AMEN.
Gunner, you have quite the following here. :)
You're needed, Buddy...take care of yourself, buckle down & listen to the doctors. And look to God for your needs. We love you!
Sounds like very good news in spite of the extended stay in ICU. Keep the positive thoughts...
