I hope that's high spirits you hear old digger. 8 Gatorade bottles drained and threats to a nurse? Lol! If it's not high spirits, it the total opposite of high spirits. I need to call Steve. It's been ages since we've talked. I know he's under a lot of stress right now. I'll call him when things fall closer to normal for him.

Praying for Steve, Travis.

Hello folks, I had the privilege to talk to Steve again and he is doing good and his spirits are high. He is on a Renal diet which also limits his fluid intake. If I remember right Steve's liver is functioning on 10%, but we still need your thoughts and prayers for it to continue to heal. Thank You All!

P.S. Steve has been reading all your really nice comments, and want to Thank You for all posts.

P.S.S. Also, Don't forget to watch Steve on the Antique Roadshow this coming Monday on PBS. He will be playing a song that he himself wrote.

 

[flintdigger]

We're praying for you Steve.

thanks old digger for the "good" update! Will keep the prayers coming for sure. What!? Steve's famous? Will sure have to catch that show, can't wait! And....since Steve's been reading these...."Hi" Steve we're sure are missing you.

I haven't been on here for a while, it's sad to hear Steve is having medical problems. But it's great to hear that he is doing better. Hurry and get better Steve.

Tomorrow will be the show that old digger told us about with Steve on it....look what I found!

...can't wait to see it!

Steve said to be sure and watch the show tomorrow night at 7:00 on Antiques Road show. He said tell everyone he loved them and please send up any Indian prayers you might have.
I told him about the prayers being sent up and he was grateful for each and every one.He asked for a prayer stone to hold and one has been sent his way. He said he may be looking at a transplant in 6 months on his liver and will know more later. His spirit was strong his body weak. He is not taking calls but the cards are appreciated. I think he has mailed every one here.
Old digger has posted the address at the front of this thread to the hospital for the cards...
Keep him in your prayers please.
