Guys,
I was holding off on announcing this, but Vic has given his consent, so.......
Vic Provost fell ill with a mystery flu-like illness almost 5 weeks ago. After 2 weeks of up/down fevers his condition deteriorated and after going to two local urgent care clinics, he was rushed to the hospital with his blood pressure plummeting. He was experiencing heart failure and kidney failure, and showed signs of encephalitis and meningitis. This necessitated placing Vic on a ventilator and keeping him in a sedated coma for over a week. Tests finally showed he was suffering from a tick-borne illness called Anaplasmosis, and he was treated with the proper antibiotic. His condition began to improve, and finally he was taken off the ventilator and woken up. He is now waiting to transfer to a rehab facility, as he is still very weak. We all were very worried initially as many who experience tick-borne encephalitis can have lasting neurologic problems, but Vic's mental status has rapidly returned to normal, and it was good to hear him asking how the playtest was going for Dispatches and being eager to get back to the bunker club.
In any event, Vic wanted me to let you all know that he will be back up and running as soon as he is able. He knows that there are many who have been waiting for replies and he will try and respond to their messages as soon as possible. If there's anything I can help you with in the meantime, feel free to send me a message.
