Update: 10/28/2010 Jeff's making steady progress. He's able to move his left hand, wrist and arm. They had him sitting on the side of his bed today and had him swinging his left leg. He also can move his left foot. And he can now move his right hand. Jeff still isn't talking and he won't...

Yes, he contracted the virus from a mosquito bite. The CDC was involved with the diagnosis and were directly involved with his initial treatment. Jeff was the first Massachusetts man to contract the virus this year, but a Rhode Island man had contracted it a couple weeks earlier, They...

With any luck, it never ends.

Thanks. I know, I was expecting a bidding war at the end. I'll bust it out next meeting for a proper droolfest. :)

Yeah, but you could put the thing on the stove and turn on all the burners at once.

Thanks guys. I installed a ball valve and a stainless screen and pickup tube when I got it home this afternoon. Now the big question. What's worthy of a 20 gallon batch?

Thanks Paul!

So did I win? If so, I want to up my bid to $225.

Paul, Do you have any bids via PM? Frank

A quick Jeff update. Apparently when the nurse said good morning to him today he mouthed back the words good morning to her! She also asked him how he slept and he mouthed OK.

Ok. $200

$125

Update: 10/21/2010 Jeff had another pretty good couple days. They still have him on a half a dose of the central nervous system stimulant and he appears to be alert more. Still for only 20 minutes at a time, but he is waking much easier and will have multiple alert periods during the course...

For those who didn't make it, here's the pot we're talking about: http://morebeer.com/view_product/8425/103458/Heavy_Duty_Brew_Kettle_-_With_Ball_Valve_104_Quart_26_Gallon Although I'm not sure it came with the ball valve. It does have the fittings welded on. Frank

Update: 10/18/2010 Jeff had a good morning today, was awake and alert for a while. His speech therapist continues to work with him on his swallowing, which he's doing great at. His facial expressions are coming back more, he will smile when asked to. He can also stick out his tongue on...

First off, a huge thanks to PTN. Great spread, great time, thanks for making the raffle what it was, a great success. Thanks to everyone who bought tickets and everyone who helped to get the prizes. And congrats to the winners. All totaled we raised $3500 for Jeff and his family today...

Whatever's convenient for you. I was already set up as a merchant, so no changes there. I'm taking care of the fees. Every penny you guys donate will go to Jeff and his family.

Update 10/14/2010 Jeff had a fairly quiet long weekend. Yesterday he was more alert. At one point, he had his eyes open for about 20 minutes or so, looking around, making eye contact, tracking and looking at the TV. The OT has been working with Jeff beyond the squeezing the hand thing...

No limit whatsoever.
