Heard from Howard once more and he's doing ok, although he's feeling pretty tired. To make a long story short, he was in the ICU for a little while but is out now and just trying to get as much rest as he can. He says hello to you all, and as soon as he's feeling a little better he'll be back on the message board.

I remember my escape day like it was yesterday.
Get well, Howard!

Please tell Howard that he is in our prayers.

Lee,
Thank you for the update, and when you talk to Howard again, tell him I am thinking of him.
Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Been home since Wed. I'm feeling pretty good. I had some scary times last week but they got it under control. Hopefully I'll stay home for a while now. My next series of treatment starts the 27th, but it will be done locally. I owe all of you individual letters, I hope you will accept this post for now. I love every one of you, Howard.

Good to see you back, Howard. Just rest, relax, and do what you can, but not what you aren't supposed to.  We want you well and around for a long time yet. God's great blessings on you. Gary

Howard,
You might want to look down long enough to make sure that your nightshirt is covering yer unmentionables, and that there's a steel in your left hand....

Hello everyone. I seem to be getting stronger a little at a time. I rest a lot and take lots of naps and feel pretty good. I haven't been out side since getting home last Wed. but the weather hasn't been great. I have Dr appointments on Thur. and Fri, so I'll get out of the house for a while. I have a port in my chest, and Home Health nurses come by three times a week to flush it and change the dressing. I'm checking the forum every day, even though I don't post a lot. You all know what you mean to me, love you every one. Howard.
Howard

Mike Auldridge is the best dobro player in the world, and a friend to Don Gaynor. Don told him about me and today MIke sent me a clip of a great old country song. I have talked to Mike a few times at the steel conventions, and he is really a nice person. Of course no reason for him to remember me, I was just one of the hundreds of people there. Don thank you so much, I've never had a nicer surprise. I'll keep it forever.
Howard
