Update: Gary's meningitis is viral meaning far less contagious and less
threatening to him. He is lucid but remembers nothing of yesterday. I
will visit him in icu at 1pm cdt.<br>

of you at the Nats know Gary lost his Spark (actually borrowed from
Andrew Jesky) during Sunday practice. Then he judged all week including
four rounds of fai and masters finals. He finished judging complaining
of a massive headache which we attributed to the sun and dehydration.
He insisted on going home without getting checked by a doctor, and to
make a long story short, he is in the hospital with meningitis. Drs.
aren't sure if it is bacterial or viral, but he is in bad shape at
Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Al. After several hours with him in
the emergency room at their satellite hospital they transferred him
last nite to the main hospitals infectious disease section. On doctor's
advice, I went back to the emergency ward and got a prophylactic dose
of antibiotics because I was around him all week. The doctor told me
that other people are at low risk. They are pumping him full of
antibiotics until cultures come back and id the strain and bacteria l
vs.
Viral. FWIW, symptoms are bad headache, fever with chills, stiff neck,
then extreme lower back pain. I've never witnessed so much pain.<br>
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers and I will update as I
know more.<br>
