Your prayers are needed

Many of us know Raptor8, he has helped everyone here in one way or another. By either getting their machine running to even making you laugh on a bad day. Kristin and I have gotten to know him very well and he has become a dear friend. As most of us know he has been having medical difficulties which has caused him to not be able to grace us with his presence.

I got word today that he had a stroke this morning, he is still fighten and giving the docs hell...that's Mr.8 for ya. He is in the hospital waiting for more test as I type.

Hang in there brother, we need you around.

I'm keeping Raptor8 in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated on any news. For those that were not in the community yet, Raptor8 was a moderator here who helped many people with his technical expertise. He took the time out to help members in the community.

I remember reading a thread where BOT and DrtyGirl hooked up with him and I believe met through QUADCRAZY...(not sure though, BOT, correct me if I'm wrong).

I wish him a speedy recovery, and all the best.

We did meet through another forum but became great friends on this on.

While Drtygrl and I were on our honeymoon he showed us an amazing time while we were in Oregon. He made us some bbq, took us on a great trail ride, and just treated us as if we were family. He is a great man.

Here is an update from Mr. 8

WOW we've had a fun week so far. Monday morning I had a STROKE so got another ambulance ride. They did every test imaginable, MRI,CAT,ultrasound, EKG<ECG, I have about 20 more holes in me. Then they went into my left femoral artery and snaked a catheter up into my neck and brain and did a little cleaning.

I am back home now but not very darn active. I have most of my left eye, arm and leg back and it is getting better so we expect a full recovery.

[outlander560]

glad to hear he is expected for a full recovery...he is still in my thoughts and prayers...cant wait to see u on here Mr.8

[Sc0tt]

That is good to hear about the full recovery. I will keep Raptor and his family in my prayers.

[Ajmboy]

Glad to hear it also! I hope he makes a full recovery!

[DirtDemon]

I certainly hope that his recovery goes well, good to hear that things are going well considering how much worse it could be.

[mywifeknowseverythin]

Very Glad to hear that!!!!!!!
