Mike was rushed to the ER last, he had pain in his legs, back, & stomach. His main Aorta of his heart was ripped, he underwent a 10 hour surgery to repair it and is now in stable condition. I am requesting prayers & positive thoughts for him please, there is a chance he may be paralyzed from the waist down. He is only 38 years old. Thank-you!

Just got back from the hospital. He is going back in for surgery on his legs to relieve the pressure. Other wise they say he is doing good.

Mike is a great guy, a pleasure to have in any of the remaining DM servers, always has something nice to say, even if it is "LOL WTF". I sincerely hope Mike gets better, I've been around you and him since before the Warfare arena, and I gotta say, you guys are keeping the game alive whether you believe it or not.

Get better Mike we love you!

Just called the hospital and he had the surgery on his legs. I guess its only like a 30 minute thing. Now they are focusing on the internal bleeding from the surgery. They cant seem to stop the bleeding and they are giving him transfusion after transfusion. I'll keep everyone updated as i hear it.

A little good news...The internal bleeding seemed to have stopped. They are gonna keep him sedated for a couple days so he can heal a little without everything moving around in there. They are gonna do the dialysis tonight sometime when the doc gets in. We asked about his legs and they said we aren't to worried about his legs right now we just want to keep him alive. So there is hope and things are looking a little better. Thanks

Ah man! Love playing with Mike. My prayers and thoughts to him and his family! He is a really good guy. Been playing HL2DM with him for over a year now. Hope you get to feeling better MIKE!!

Terrible news, myself and all of ewR hope he makes a full and fast recovery.

He's one of the few players that ewR always got along with, we could play for hours against him and he'd never complain once, and I can't say that about very many people in this game. He's tough and we all expect him to pull through, and I'm sure he'll be back to sniping me with the xbow in no time.

Played him 100s of times. Always a good sport. Prayers for a full and speedy recovery. Thankfully he lives in a city with some of the best medical facilities in the country.

A ripped aorta sounds like trauma. Was he in an accident?

dbanimal

2010-02-02 18:08:46

That's what I was wondering, had to been some trauma involved. Hopefully he's hanging in there!!

Any updates for us CrazyBruts?

CrazyBruts

2010-02-02 18:39:01

He's stable and on dialysis for a couple days to flush all the toxins out of his kidneys. Should know more later.

Paradox

Amazing how sudden this seemed to come upon him. This just serves as a reminder how quickly something can happen and take those you care about out of your life when you least expect it.

Cherish those you love, move beyond the petty arguments and remember the good times and what is really important before it is gone.

Yes so true. I guess he was fine all day and this just came on at around 6:30 that night. He started getting pains in his legs,then a little later got pains in his stomach and back and started sweating. So he sat on the couch and told his mother he wanted to go to the hospital. When the ambulance got there he couldn't move his legs. Anything can happpen anytime you never know.

CrazyBruts

2010-02-02 21:01:27

His lungs are going down and they're starting to work on that now. This is just terrible! Can't believe this is happening to such a good person like Mike.

CrazyBruts

2010-02-02 21:33:56

K the phone rang again....He is on steroids for his lungs but now they have to cut open his stomach and work on the intestines to see why the blood flow to his legs is blocked. They said it was a 1 hour surgery and that he wont die from it. They also said that they have had other people in there with the same problems that mike has and they come right out of it.

dbanimal

2010-02-02 21:34:46

We'll keep praying for him!

surgery went ok, they had to remove part of his bowel, they found it perforated and it was somehow stopping the blood flow to the legs, they are keeping the wound open until Thursday incase they need to go back in again. He is in comatose state. We are being told to stay positive still.

CrazyBruts

2010-02-03 03:18:25

Bad news! They gave him 24 hrs to live. Everything is failing now ...his lungs,kidneys and liver... OMG! This is so bad! Going to the hospital .. bbl

I did some research on ripped aortas and it looks like it mainly happens due to a spike in blood pressure, usually from weight lifting or intense workout! This is how John Ritter died. He was trying to lose weight and was working out like crazy, he started feeling sick then the chest pains came. Doctors ruled it food poisoning when it turned out to be his aorta. This is freightening to hear, usually when I have time I will try to lift weights at home and I usually push myself until I almost have to drop them on the floor!! Was Mike into weight lifting? It's possible he may have been lifting something heavy at home that could have caused it as well. Very sad whatever it was.
