Hey guys. I think some of you are readers/fans of the EPU material and Ben "Gryphon" Hutchins.
Maybe you should know that he's had some serious medical issues. I won't detail the whole thing here because Gryph did himself here, and here. I had NO idea of this stuff until just a few days ago myself, as I hadn't been over to the EPU forums in a couple of months. But kind of a shock to hear about.
Well he had his surgery yesterday, and it was dicey. VERY dicey. Gryphon is out of surgery but he's in a medically induced coma. There were.... complications.

Quote:All I have are the details his clearly shaken mother relayed to me by phone, but apparently his renal vein tore during the surgery and he had a massive bleed which they had trouble staunching. They had to transfuse a lot of blood and she said he coded and had to be resuscitated twice on the table. They did decide to proceed with the primary objective and removed the kidney, and apparently that went well and they believe they got the entire mass and it doesn't look like the cancer had spread. So at least that is good news.I'd say he and his family/friends could use all the good wishes/prayers/support they can get.

I'll pass on further news as I get it. Right now just think positive thoughts. He's not out of the woods yet, but they're going to be keeping a close eye on him in the ICU. Since they stopped the bleed, removed the kidney, and managed to resuscitate him, hopefully he's past the worst of it.
Crossing fingers and hoping for the best.
