    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am so sorry to have stumbled across this distressing news. All I can say is that you can add my prayers to the long list of friends praying for him and his family.
I havent been on here a lot lately, myself, but whenever I miss any length of time here, I always come back looking forward to finding threads full of Chuck's witticisms and him showing off his detective skills! His colorful responses are always looked forward to (sorry, WebSlave, but he's just so danged funny). I wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to many more of his future posts!

I just got home from the hospital and I am about to pass out, but wanted to tell you all that I told him about all the posts and well wishes and I'm sure he heard me and hopefully it will help him get through. Thank you again to all of you.

They are going to do some crucial tests tonight and I should know tomorrow and will update you all when I have more news. Thanks again.

:iagree: All day yesterday and today I keep checking back here over and over again to see if there have been any updates. I don't think I have jumped out of bed so quickly in years as I did when I woke this morning.

same thing here first thing I did was check for Maggie's post
 
I just got back from the hospital. They were not able to do the cat scan because he is not able to tolerate using a portable ventilator right now and they will have to wait until he gets stronger. He has also developed a blood clot in his right leg, which they said normally they would do surgery but obviously he is not strong enough for that.

He is not awake yet but his eyes were more open today and I swear that he looked at me while I was talking to him - it could just be what I NEED to think I saw, but I'm sticking with it. His heart rate did increase while I was talking to him and I see that as a response. I again want to thank all of you for your caring, prayers and well wishes. I know he will appreciate it and although he knows that you all like him, I believe he is going to be shocked when I tell him how much you really do.

DAND - sorry when I pm'd you before my mind was blank as to the update - sorry, I am totally losing my mind, I hope you understand.
 
Oh Maggie that is good at least he is showing some response. I am glad to hear that. I am sure he did look at you, he is gonna pull through this he is thinking about slap chop and chopping some nuts. Maggie I believe we all would understand the mind lost thing right now. Thank you so much for keeping us updated its better than being in the dark.

DOUBLE DITTO!!!
 
Yes this place here on Fauna can quickly become a part of your family. I too, have been racing here to see how Mr. Bill is doing. I caught myself telling my family about him and how we are all now beginning to want to know how he is and if there is any new word on him. Its been a exhausting few weeks here with sickness and death yet I want to make sure that I give myself time to check in and see that hopefully we get a good word on him today. Still praying for you all.
 
I just got home from the hospital. When I got there tonight his eyes were half way open and they are usually completely closed. I started to talk to him and his eyes moved in the direction of my voice and I KNOW that he saw me! He opened and closed his eyes a few times tonight. He was breathing very rapidly though and they gave him some morphine(sp?) to keep him comfortable and make sure he isn't in any pain. I pretty much begged them to do that, I just can't stand the thought of him in any pain. He calmed down and the breathing returned to normal. He also moved his head twice and I could not be happier. He has a long road ahead of him but I hope these are the first small steps in the right direction.

Thank you to all of you for caring about him.
 
Maggie, this is very, VERY good news! Chuck isn't one to give up! One step at a time...and yes, Chuck IS walking in the right direction! I am supremely confident that 5 years from now, Chuck will be cracking jokes about that time he was in the hospital.
