Thank God, Allan. Our prayers are with you.

Damnit, Allan, this had better not get in the way of our Cosmic Encounter game!

Glad to hear things look better. But, man, leaving the hospital and then having to go right back? That's just over the top ...

I'll know more after talking with the doctors tomorrow.

Praying for you and Heather. Get well soon.

Hey Allen, very sorry to hear about this.

I'll just echo the rest and say my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I got a good 90 minutes with one of Heather's nurses tonight, and it sounds like she's likely to be home again in 4-7 days or so.

'night!

Hey Allan,

My prayers are with you and your family. Very sorry to hear this and I just read this thread. Here I thought it was about your trip to NJ and didn't read it right away.

Take care, you and Heather

I have a postal address for Allan. I won't post it here, but if any Acaeum regulars want to send a best wishes/get-well card, pm me - I can send it to you.

You and Heather are still in our thoughts, best wishes. If there's anyway a bunch of guys from the series of tubes can help out, please don't hesitate to ask.

Heather's safely at home now, and sleeping at the moment. She's very happy to be here, and we're going to spend the long holiday weekend re-settling in and such.

Thanks everyone, for all of your support throughout this crisis!
