Hi all,

I just got off the phone with Ben. He is in the hospital. He's jaundiced i.e. his eyes and skin are all yellow. So far theyv'e done a CAT scan and xrays and they show something wrong with his spleen and his stomach is full of fluids. They are next going to check his liver and kidneys and other vitals.

Please pray for him as he is in bad, bad shape.

Thanks,
Joe
