Bucks n Ducks, who posts on here on frequently has spent the last several days in intensive care unit in a Lafayette hospital. Matt was on a fishing outing taking 4-H kids fishing a couple of weeks ago when he got some mosquito bites. A day or so later he came down with a high fever and severe headache. After 3 visits to urgent care and one to the ER in the next few days he progressively got worse. He was admitted to the hospital last sunday. Matt can not walk, has had times where his mind lives in the past and has short term memory problems. After much testing, he has been diagnosed with Mengioencephalitis. This is a very rare mosquito born disease that is a combo of viral meningitis and encephalitis. After getting the right antibiotics treating him, he is making progress. He will start getting therapy tomorrow to teach him to walk again. Will have to go to a rehab center for a while to get better and then will be able to return home. Returning to work is somewhere in the distant future. Matt has 2 boys age 11 and 6 and his wife that will need help thru this tough times. Keep them in your prayers. Some of you know that he is my son. Been a tough week!!

He was able to stand beside his bed today with the help of a walker. Still can't take a step yet. We call that progress!!

Crazy that Mother Nature can pack such a devastating punch in such a tiny insect. Scary stuff!

Matt has been moved to a rehab hospital. Improves more everyday. Is walking with the help of a walker. Hopefully won't be here more than a couple of weeks. Therapy just wears him out!! I told him it will take time.

Great news. Matt got to come home from the hospital. He was in for 24 days. Walking short distances without the walker!! Has to deal with balance issues on occasion but getting better. He will have physical therapy for a while and hopes to be back to work in a couple of months. My goal is to get him in the woods by the start of gun season for deer. we will have to see.

Hey all, I'm getting better and stronger everyday! Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts and prayers for me and my family! Probably another month before I go to work but I am doing things and going places as well as back to building a couple rods! What could have been fatal turned out for the best and I won! Pretty crazy. Hoping to goodness I can get in the woods this fall at some point!

Hey weedhopper, I'm doing well physically. Still some memory things and central nervous issues but nothing that slows me down to much. Getting stronger every day. Had a positive Dr.'s appointment today so I have about three weeks before trying back to work!
