Just touching base again. Greg, I hope you read this after your struggle with your illness is behind you, and get a chuckle about myself and others worrying over you. “I was too dang busy kickin’ the crap outta that virus to reply!”
We Miss you brother, get well and return to us soon.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Greg! I haven’t posted here for a few days, hoping in the “No news is Good News” hypothesis, and giving you time to gather up from your fight with the illness.
I pray this finds you and yours Well and Recovering - as do all your forum friends here. Come back and see us, Brother!
I text him everyday, and I’ve told him you guys have been asking about him, praying for him, and generally wishing the both of them well
I’ve also seen where cell phones are banned from the ICU to protect patient privacy…
Like you, I’m going with the no news is good news theory
Merry Christmas, Greg! Still praying for you, your wife and a number of other friends and acquaintances fighting this battle this season.
Merry Christmas Greg. I’m keeping prayers and positive thoughts coming your way.
UPDATE
Greg’s wife texted me today.
I didn’t ask a ton of questions, but Greg is still fighting the good fight. She came down this weekend and was in the room with him today.
So regarding her battle with Covid, she is feeling well enough to make the 250ish mile round trip to see him on weekends, and obviously testing negative for the virus to be able to visit. Reading between the lines she is not 100%, and recovery from a bad battle with Covid is long. I’m still dealing with issues from this past March…She will need more time.
Greg is on a ventilator. So far, that ventilator is doing its job while Greg does his job. They did not connect him to the ECMO, and so long as the status quo continues, the ECMO is out of the picture. Truth be told, I’m happy that his situation hadn’t deteriorated enough to require the ECMO.
There are no timelines in place. His battle and subsequent recovery will be lengthy, with any success measured in small increments.
Now that I know that he is incommunicado, I will cease daily text messages and rely on weekly updates from her. 
Thank You mightily, Allen. So glad to hear that Greg’s Wife is on the mend - I will continue praying for him, and will try to post up encouragement for him here, for him to read as he recovers.
You hear that Greg? You gotta get Better, and get on here to chastise us all for Worrying over you!
Agreed! Thanks for the update and continued prayers and well wishes for Greg and his wife!!!
I got covid pneumonia myself last year. Very scary. 37 and mostly healthy. Luckily I recovered with some lingering issues. Best of luck bud. You’ll make it!
Thanks for the update. It’s hopefully a good sign that they were able to hold off with the ECMO. He’ll pull through, he still has a lot of his collection to show off so we can all feel jealous.
Good to see that he is still with us and fighting the illness
God bless him and give him strength to keep up the good fight. He is in my prayers also. Everyone here wishing him well….will do a great deal lifting his spirit and strength when he reads these messages. The Happy soul recovers more quickly than sad one.
However long it takes….take all the time necessary to recover. We will be here……the same gubers….talking about weather, cars, shooting sports and our glory days. I am looking forward to catching up with Greg……when he is rested and recovered.
Yes keep fighting please!! 
thanks for the update.
I will continue to pray for Greg. I know what having the guys here behind you can mean to you when you’re messed up in a hospital, knowing we’re all pulling, praying and doing our part to help him fight here, will only help give him more strength to continue the fight there, and will hopefully help him beat this thing. He can do it!
Please let his wife know that the folks here at PSA forums are praying for them.
thanks man.
Happy New Year, Greg!
I’m hoping this finds you up and starting to catch up with us. I couldn’t let the day go by without at least SOME kind of well-wishes from the peanut gallery!
You take your time, respond to us when you’re good and dang Ready.
Still checking in on ya-
Still praying for ya-
And my puppy says that she still loves ya!
Keep getting better!
God bless.
Greg, everyday here on the PSA Forum, ……is like sitting at the dinner table waiting for a guest to arrive. We miss your wisdom. You never realize just how much “1911” contributes the the quality of the forum……until we start reading our own threads…… Our intellectual value has dropped in your absence and we are needing a dose of wisdom.
Happy new year……it will be, as your health improves .
God Speed.
I did not get an update today from Greg’s wife, or Greg. My family continues to prey for their recoveries
My oldest has a test scheduled for tomorrow. If he’s positive, it will be the third time he’s had this bullshit
I am so over it
So much for their theory on you can only get it once
The health care providers were SHOCKED when he had it 11/12 (Nov/Dec) 2020 and then again in March 2021
They were speechless
