update
I saw Gus @ Immanuel in Omaha, NE on Monday afternoon. He's finally doing better. He is recovering from Empyema. The nurse told me that the machines and drugs were what kept him going, it was very bleek for a while.
I believe he went in towards the end of June and it doesn't sound like he will be out of ICU for some time yet, then off to some recovery center.
When I got there he was trying to sit up on the edge of the bed and it was ALL he could do to sit up straight. He is very weak, but with that the nurses were happy with his progress.
He has a long way to go but he is on the road to recovery. He is in room 453. If you are planning to hit Baxter's rally next weekend and could stop by Omaha for a little bit that would be helpful.
