Babalu is currently in the ICU, on a ventilator and they are treating him for EEE. Test results won’t be back for another day or two. He’s not doing well right now and could use whatever positive thoughts and prayers you can send his way. If it is EEE and if Jeff makes it, he’s in for months of recovery. So please keep Jeff, his wife and his kids in your thoughts and prayers.
WTF!!
All the positive thoughts I can muster I’ll send his way! And if it helps, I’ll down a few dunkelweizens I brewed up with the (award winning) recipe he gave me.
PS I had to google EEE 
Thank you for the update. We just heard of 2 cases of EEE here in MI over the weekend.
I had to google it too. Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE).
Positive vibes and prayers definitely going his way. Please keep us posted. Get better Babalu!!
SHOCKED . . to say the least. Definitely bad stuff. Come on Jeff . . we’re all thinking of you and your family.
This is awful!
Thoughts and prayers go out to Jeff and his family.
Please keep us posted frankw.
Hang in there Babalu. We’ll be thinking about you.

Oh, prayers go out to him and his family, hate to hear these things from a member of our little community.
:o Get well soon. bro. Prayer sent.
Get well, the sooner the better.
I’ll buy you a beer at Club Night San Diego
Wow, that is disheartening news. Sending positive vibes your way, Jeff. Get well soon!!
Get Well Babalu! We’re pulling for you!
Get well soon, Jeff!
Thanks for the info, Frank, and please keep us up dated.
Get well Babs. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
This is too bad. Hope he makes it out okay. I read that most who do survive have significant brain damage. Let’s hope Jeff is one of those who turns out okay.
Thanks for letting us know!
My thoughts and prayers go out to Jeff and his family. This is an awful turn of events, and I hope he is able to recover soon!
