Important announcement

[T19]

Shawn and Ashley are both very aware of Geoff's extended family at MLU and TANKNET. Geoff is at ICU at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, they will not release any information. His Son Shawn is sending SITREPS on Geoffs condition for us to share with everyone. Mates it does not look good. I received this this AM for release. I have posted it at TN, and in fairness you should see it as well.
======================

Andrew I received this message from Shawn very early this morning. I will let you post in the forum what you decide to post about it ... I am unable to right now ...

"Dad's condition is worsening... since Thursday night when we spoke, his blood pressure has dropped and his kidneys began to fail, necessitating dialysis treatment. a few hours ago the hospital called to let me know that his heart rate had begun fluctuating, and that they were putting him on appropriate medication for that.

They had taken him out of sedation earlier in the evening, and yet as of my last conversation with the nurse, he still hadn't regained consciousness, which isn't unusual. I was finally told during this conversation that his condition has gone from bad to worse, although the staff are still guarded about where it is all going. I expect that they won't make that call until they've exhausted all their options as medical professionals. ... please pass this along to those of dad's friends with whom you've been in touch."

From the Murray Family:

Such sad news to this point but know Geoff, Ashley, Shawn and Sally Ann that our prayers are with you for a better turn of news and an eventual recovery.

Geoff is tough as nails and if anyone can overcome this adversity it would be him I am sure.

Thank all of you who are keeping us in the loop. Really very many thanks and I know it is not easy on you.

Bill & Pat Murray

I hope that Geoff won't mind if some of us turn to our religion to invoke some extra divine assistance.

Church of England (Anglican) in my case

Geoff you are in our prayers the Pearce's

[servicepub (RIP)]

My prayers go out to Niner and his family.
At the risk of sounding insensitive we have to give some thought to succession. Even given that Geoff will pull through he will not be able to run MLU for a while. First things first, we should all make a donation in order to get that problem out of the way and buy some time. Secondly, somebody has to step up to bat to take the load off Geoff. My professional situation doesn't allow me to do so but I am sure that there is at least one MLU'er who could.
