Very Nice post! Thank You!
Update
Andrew had a very close call yesterday. His Blood pressure dropped dramatically and he had fluid in his lungs. My wife said { We could have lost him } My wife had to make a mad dash from the clinic to the hospital to get him attended to. Thankfully it is only accross the street. Her being an LVN and having been down this road before really makes a difference. I am thankful she is able to be there for him. I am so shaken by this. It was too close for comfort.

I'm sorry to hear that, Kevin. I hope he comes back around soon 
It's so hard to sit and watch.....and not be able to do anything to help. Hang in there!

Stay strong Kevin, we are all behind you.
On a side note, as a gesture of solidarity I have just sent in my packet to be a bone marrow donor. For those of you who are healthy and between the ages of 18 and 60, please consider signing up to be on the registry: http://www.marrow.org/
Ninja Edit: Special thanks to PTRocks for informing us (and me) about the above group!

I will call in the morning. Temps rise and fall is from Low count. Since there is a low white count, the body if throwing fever at the infection. Also keep blankets handy as cold chills can follow the fevers.

This is not acceptable to have this happen to "one of our own." 
I wish we had known last week, we would have taken the raffle donations and instead of giving it to the local Humane Society, we wouldv'e sent it your way.
If you like, we would be happy to donate products that you can eBay or silent auction and use all the proceeds towards the fund. In the meantime, we don't have a lot in our PayPal account at the moment, but now it's in yours. Hope that helps.
What size shirt does your son wear in the meantime?

Hair today Gone Tommorrow!
Andrew has already started Losing his hair. He is not Liking that much. I told him as soon as that started to happen Dad would get out the Clippers and Buzz my hair off So add that to the weekend list. My wife as well who has Lovely Long thick hair is going to Cut hers very short. We just want to show our support.
I have started to ask some of my local parts vendors if they would donate a Business Cap or Beenie & XL Tee Shirt for Andrew as he loves that kind of stuff. If any of the Vendors on the site would like to send him one he would certainly appreciate it. Opening Boxes is always a spirit lifter and we Gotta keep the Summer Sun off the Noodle!

Very Cool! I am sure he will appreciate it.
Update
Today I took the trip up to the Hospital with my Daughter to visit Andrew & the wifey.
Last night I got out the clippers an put on the 1/4 Inch attachment and Zip my hair is down to nil . I would say Andrew & I are a pretty good match. He does have some blank Spots you can't see in the pics though.
Oh wait a minute So do I, DOH!He was in decent spirits today and the topic was what can he do to make the most of this down time. We are thinking online courses to futher his education. He might as well hit the road running when he gets better. We shall see.
The good news is he does not have an appendix issue. He has a badly irritated bowel instead. Ya thats good news
We are Hoping he will be well enough to come home early this week. The hospital is getting old fast.Work progresses on operation home sterilization The Kitchen and Living Room are overhauled. I got some all natural {green} Cleaning stuff, Laundry & Diswashing & spray and I am scrubbing anything and everything I can get my hands on.
Well, I am looking forward to the work week so I can get some rest! LOL! Just kidding!

KC
