Dad has asked that I let all his friends here know that he has been in the hospital since before Christmas. He has Pneumonia and a urinary tract infection, on top of the renal falure. He was transported to the hospital from his dialysis treatment the Thursday before Christmas, and for a few days was non-responsive. He is now working hard to recover, and is confident, but he is very weak. He is in a care center in Orange City, south of DeLand FL. His entire family is at his side. He wants to get home and get back online on the forum and on the air.

I'm sorry to hear that Walt is in the hospital. I had noticed that he wasn't active on the board for a while now.
I pray that Walt has a fast and strong recovery.
