We all need to pray for Ed as he has suffered a stroke and is currently in the ICU. We don't know the all the details yet, and unfortunately there isn't much we can do but I wanted to let everyone know incase your orders/e-mails aren't answered. Ed is a long time site sponsor, event sponsor and many have been lucky enough to meet him in person.
The last thing Ed needs in this situation is added stress. If you see threads in this forum or others about him not being available, please help him out by posting up whats going on.
I will update you as relevant information becomes available.
UPDATE: They have moved him to a less critical unit of the ICU and are going to try and move him to his own room later today. He is able to say a couple more words this morning, but is pretty grumpy and frustrated which is understandable. Please keep him in your thoughts as you go through your day.

Even though I do not know Ed I will put him on our prayer list. Anyone who gives time on here and helps us out with our rigs must be a great guy!! Our prayers to Ed and his family and we wish you a speedy recovery!!
Well I talked to his daughter this morning and she said he is doing better. She was able to carry on a conversation with him and he was able to talk on the phone a little. Sounds like he is getting better fast. Keep the prayers up guys.
I suppose they got to him in time to give him that medicine. Not sure what it is but supposely if they give it to you in the first 2 hours it is like a magic.
That is a good sign. Yes, there are clot-busting drugs that work just as well in the brain as in the heart. If it had to be a stroke, an occlusive(clot) stroke is the better kind(if there is such a thing). As Senix said, if caught early enough, most stroke symptoms can be reversed. It's more like a 'miracle' to watch them work. Continuing prayers!
