<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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>

<p class=MsoNormal>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>
