That's why "They" call it "the practice of medicine" Jon. If they
practice long enough, maybe they'll get it right!!!<br>

Sunday:<br>
<br>
Saw Gary this am. Still in ICU. Been off pain medication for
several hours. Still getting fluids thru a tube. Obviously feeling
better, but still has a fever that goes up and down. Won't let him
drink anything because he is still vomiting although his mom said it
had been about 12 hours since the last episode. Still aches although
it is manageable. <br>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="black">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>

color="black">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>
