Well fellas I want to let you know our buddy ETipp is in the hospital and struggling. He was fine when he went to bed last night but woke up during the night with pain in his chest. He had to go to the hospital by ambulance this morning. He texted me before he went. He went to a closer hospital because of his condition. He would have rather went to another hospital an hour away but wasn’t sure he could make it.

I told him I would be praying for him and I have.

His wife gave me an update later in the morning with an update. Then this afternoon Ed called. He’s not well. Coughing and struggling to breathe and very weak.

He wanted me to let you guys know. Please, if you are praying people, lift Ed up in your prayers. I’ll update as I hear anything.

Thanks for letting us know Jim. Count me in on asking the man to look out for Ed

@snakebit , Yep. deer are like Ed's squirrels. Spook 'em w/hunting pressure and they vamoose. Around here when the season starts they see hunters and they move out of the outlying areas into city neighborhood green spaces where they know they wont get shot at. This herd hides in the woods surrounding our neighborhood and comes out onto my back yard just about every night:

I'm not trying to brag or taunt, they're just smart animals and have learned to manage risk in their life.

wow. nice bucks.

Prayers on the way.

I don't know what to say, except let's all pray for our huntin' buddy Ed.

"...and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up..."
James 5:15

Ok fellas, here is an ETipp update: Ed called me this morning. He said he is 50% better than yesterday, Praise the Lord!

He said his heart is fine. He had a hiatal hernia years ago and it is back along with a problem with the sphincter valve in his esophagus. He said this can cause pressure on his different organs.

He is going home today and has to take medicine for this condition. He said it is easier to talk than to text or post on the forum. He said in a couple days we should hear from him.

He wanted me to thank you all for the prayers. Keep them coming fellas. I look forward to him being back to good health and his usual vibrant self.

I think it’s pretty neat that we all can have friendships with guys we’ve never met through our forum

Happy Thanksgiving fellas. Have a great day!

Thanks for the update Jim. That news is definitely something to be thankful for.

I agree with you whole heatedly. I've met some folks on here that I consider a brother.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Don't burn down the deck frying them turkeys. I will raise my glass of amber liquid to toast you all.
