Bad news gang, zooker in icu now
Ok, got another call from Zookers mom. Things have taken a turn for the worse now. Zooker is now in ICU and cannot recieve any more calls. His mom said to not even try seeing he is in ICU and all. Blood pressure is rising. The brain scan is okay. But he is so weak he can't get out of the bed now. And him being in and out of it, he can't talk. And he has infection through out his body now. That is what is not improving. The doctor said that if things don't start improving, he may not make it. She had a hard time telling me and i understand why. I am having a hard time typing this. So please bear with me.
I have only met zooker the one time for 3 days at Dale Hollow get together. But i love the guy like a brother. He gave me 2 rods from his huge arsenal too. Along with some baits he no longer used. For a person to do that without really knowing you says something about his character. He truly is a great guy. We have talked on the phone over the last couple of years and i have laughed during each and every conversation. Please folks..........hit your knees tonight and ask the GOOD LORD to help him throught this, no matter which way it turns. Sorry i can't say anything more right now.

Nothing words can say. I too have never met the man. But I have had some awesome phone coversations with him in the past. And we both did a lot of laughing. But I pray to lift him to the Lord for healing and strength for his Mom.

I don't even know what to say. Except that we'll keep Zook in our thoughts and prayers, but he knows that already. Keep us updated John.

John, I hate to hear that about Zooker. We only met him last year at d/h he seemed like a great guy, like so many of the other people we have met from this site. Its a real brotherhood. Our prayers go out to Zooker and his mom. Pleased keep us informed when you can.
Jeff PS, I got some other bad news today from my brother. His wifes mother found out today that she has an inoperable brain tumor. She had a small one that was removed about a year ago. She was doing pretty well. docs don't give her much time maybe a few months. We will be praying for both. |

I really cannot describe, in words, what to say. What I can do is pray for zooker and his family. This is a tragic turn, but everyone here is praying for him, and we all know that he'll pull through this.

May the Lord in his divine goodness give health and healing to our friend Zooker.
Lord, we believe you can bring victory over his current circumstances and see Zooker to the brighter days just ahead. May our prayers come to you in a flood of graciousness for the miracles in your works. May Zooker be given strength to overcome this obstacle and his family find peace and comfort by their faith. Lord I believe your mercy knows no bounds. Our faith in you is steadfast, even with the news he is temporarily in ICU. I am believing for complete healing and victory. May our prayers flow to Zooker in avalanches of healing. Amen. |

Zooker, if you get to read this, or even if someone close to you gets to read it to you, you're in mine, and everybody else's prayers. We know you can beat this, with God's help. I've only barely gotten to meet you, but I know you are loved and a valued friend to many people on this board. Hang in there, Zook.

My prayers go out for Zooker, his family and all of those here too who know and love the big guy. May the Lord touch his body and spirit. Let him know he is not alone, and that the prayers of many will lighten his load and speed his recovery.
