    Special alert !!

    For all of you who are friends with my best bud and hunting partner "Mangoave" Jim, please keep him in your prayers. Upon not getting a response from him about going to a cellar hole Sunday I got a message from his girlfriend that he had been very sick for a couple of days, I drove to his house and found him in very bad shape, He now lies in somewhat of a coma in ICU, The doctors cannot wake him up and do not know the extent of what is wrong. Jim loves this site and all of you guys. Jim is only 33 years old. Keep him in your prayers. Kevin

    The doctors are baffeled at this point, I have been there for two days now and he has still not responded and they are very worried because he is not getting better. They are even at this point checking the possibility of a brain virus. We just do not know. They are still worried about the worst happening.

    Slight improvement this morning with Jim, I went back to the hospital at 4am, couldn't stand the thought of him waking there alone, and he opened his eyes for a couple of moments. I ask him if he hurt and he said no and went back to sleep, I thought the nurse would crap, she was not expecting that. But even though he is not talking, he seems to be trying to move. I believe that he will make a recovery. He is in ICU at St. Francis in Hartford, they let me in with no problem and we are not related. Last name is Mauro. Remind me later to let Jim know that this is the only trip that he will not remember in detail.
