Steve M is back

It sure is great to hear, any idea how/when these cases were contracted?? Wishing them both the best, and a full recovery..
Don't know the details about Steve, but Bazza/Barry is (was?) a Railroad Engineer up in the Duluth/Superior area, and he came down with a lung infection...at first. Docs thought it was due to the RR dust, and despite being hospitalized several times for this he never fully recovered.

But they released him for work, on a P/T basis, and while still dealing with the "issues" with his lungs, one day he got bit by some sort of a bug, according to the Docs, and they think this is how he came down with encephalomyelitis. No one's really sure, but encephalomyelitis, on top of the lung infection, damn near killed him.

He's home now, and he is getting better, but no one can give him any sort of outcome or prognosis (is that the word I want?).

Thank you for the well wishes. I'll certainly pass them on to Bazza!
