I got an email from John the other day, he asked me to pass it along:

"I had to go to the ER on Feb 28 due to severe dehydration.
I've been in here since then, because no matter how much they pump in, I fall back into dehydration as soon as they take away the IV.

I seriously don't know what's going to happen next, and they don't seem to know either.

I lost so much intestines, that there's just no easy way for my body to absorb anything!

I'm typing this on my cellphone, so please feel free to pass along the wah-wah dialog as needed.....??

"Life's a *****, then it gets worse""

That was all he wrote. Sending a message via phone can be rough. I did get the impression that at least he does not have the NG tube in anymore. If I hear anything else I will be sure to pass it along to everyone.
Hopefully John will be home soon and can update us "in person".
Hang in there Buddy, as much as I've felt like strangling you at times I still miss ya!
