Gary Courtney</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Those 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><BR>Jon Lowe<BR>-- <BR>Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
