Today it was stated in game that CPTDELL is seriously ill. Can someone who has first hand knowledge please advise the AH community as to his status. A lot of us are very concerned.
Thanks,

someone (HEELER perhaps?) said in the scenario event on Saturday night that he's in with congestive heart failure
I would certainly miss his intelligent comments and warm personality in game if he bows out

CPTDELL is in the hospital w/ a serious heart condition. He's been there since at least December 9th.
If you want more specifics, reach out to unclkurt in game. He's been in contact w/ Dell's wife and has provided the Claim Jumpers w/ updates on our private forum.

Thank you for expressing your concerns for CPTDell. I have been in contact with Mrs. Dell daily since last week. She requests prayers for Kenney.
Condition: Kenney remains in critical care on life support and is unresponsive. He has congestive heart failure, emphasima, and now pneumonia.
I have had numerous conversations with him over the last several weeks. His perspective was one of resignation and finality regarding his condition. I shall continue to pass along information as necessity and conditions demand. Kenney Loves the AH community and his relationships with his friends here. He would wish that be mentioned to you!
Thanks again for the support. Mrs. Dell is very aware of your concerns and prayers for him.

In every military unit I served in we had a chaplain. I know this is virtual though as we see, Cpt Dell is real people. Do we have a community chaplain? I guess right now its Uncle Curt. In any case, I'm going to call his name in to the local baptist church and have his name added to the rolls.

CPTDell is improving<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<He is responding, still sedated and on antibiotics, running a 101 fever. Yesterday the respirator was breathing 60% for him, today the doctor backed it off to 40% and Kenney is holding his own. Mrs. Dell says the doctor expects him to recover from the respiratory illness (pneumonia). He opens his eyes but does not yet focus. Mrs. Dell asked me to send appreciation to you all for the prayers and concern. Thank You!!!!! Keep it up for the old fart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with Mrs. Dell.
CPTDell is awake, sitting up some, no fever, tired, has good blood numbers now, and expects to leave Critical Care in favor of a regular room on Saturday or Sunday. Kenney was Very glad to hear of all of your support and prayers. Please keep them both in your prayers and I must say, I have witnessed another miracle. YOU guys all made this possible and I appreciate your support for him!
My hat is off to you all!
Thank You!

Miracles come in all forms, and I believe possitive thoughts aid in ones recovery. Judging by the responses there are many people sending CPTDell possitive vibs. I continue to pray for CPTDell's full recovery.

Been following this but spent my time praying, not posting.
Will continue the prayers until he is back in game, then will start to give thanks.
Thanks for the updates and good news, shrimper.

My heart soars!
Sent another prayer his way just this afternoon.
Kurt, do you have a way we can contact him? address or something?
I'd like to send him my regards, having never forgotten him leaving his B-17 to take me to the TA and help me get going years ago.

Now Dell just needs a laptop to play while he's getting better :aok
Glad he's coming along well.

As a founding member of the Aces & 8's squad here in the AH community, I feel I can speak for the squad in saying " Get well CPTDell. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers." Dell is a great player and a very likeable entity within this community. It has been, and hopefully will continue to be for many more years, an honor to participate in Aces High with CPTDell. :pray :salute
Sincerely,
The Aces & 8's.

FLASH!! UPDATE:
CPTDell called late this afternoon and visited for some 15 minutes. Seems he also tried to get up and walk away from Critical Care at some point, fell, and sustained a head injury (possible concussion). He is alert enough to carry on a conversation, but this will certainly complicate his recovery. He was not totally coherant and his conversation strays from topic a bit. He was Very happy to hear of all your support, prayers, and well wishes. He is intent on his recovery and rehab. hoping to get back online asap and say Hi to all his friends on AH.

I Just visited with Mrs. Dell again. Seems she is faced with having Kenney go to a rehab facility or an assisted living facility. He is very confused and upset about losing his independence. I can relate to this first hand vis a vie what I had happen to me laast March (almost died). It seems Kenney is being very mean to his nurses and hospital staff. He sleeps a lot, and remains disoriented and babbles. His brain scans came back OK, but it is possible his medications are a contributing factor.
Mrs. Dell continues to appreciate the prayers and support. She is becoming frustrated, as I'm sure Kenney is. That is all!

As with all things the elderly bodies metabolize medications very slowly, with decreased liver & kidney functions all the garbage gets cleaned up & out slower. Anesthesia is the worst. I've had older folks who were sharp minded immediately before the surgery, who woke delirious, and stayed that way for weeks, with nothing more to blame than anesthesia. :salute Hope he feels better...anger is very normal.

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES!!!
CPTDell is on the mend, still disoriented at times and rants about getting back to "his unit" according to Mrs. Dell. I visited with her again at 09;45 CST. He is walking some, in the rehab facility and she hopes to have him back home in about 5 days??????? Time disorientation is still an issue, but the doctors think that is medication residual (Yes he was on Ativan, but not anymore). Mrs. Dell expressed her deep appreciation for all your kind thoughts and prayers. :salute

Great to hear that Kurt.

Thanks for these updates. Give him a hug for me when you see him, and tell em' I look forward to blowing him out of the skies. That should rejuvinate the man. In the meantime though. God Bless the SOB. :salute

Just talked with the "Ole Fart" himself>>>
"You're all a bunch of Bozos"... Was the quote from him! He is still confused, but better and a lot more coherant in conversation. Rambles with figures and numbers (talked about taking Mrs. Dell "camping" in Washington or Alaska). She confirmed that I understood him correctly.
He is somewhat less rude but still not of his mind yet, and certainly not pleasant at times ( from the intel I have). Mrs. Dell hopes to be able to take him back home soon!
Keep Prayin for them!!!!
