The hospital called me and had a few questions for me about what I might know about Max's medical history such as did I know if he had asthma or use anything like a walker or cane. I told them what I knew, which was not that much but I'll do what I can to help.

They said he has been in and out of consciousness and they expected to move him out of the MICU today or tomorrow.

I asked them to let me know when he is coherent enough to speak. I will have him send a message here when he is up to it.

The hospital has had trouble contacting some of his relatives. They have spoken to a sister in Brazil and yesterday a niece of his called me from France and gave me her number to give to the hospital staff. I think Max has at least one relative in Portugal that has not been informed yet. If anyone knows how to contact that person let me know and I will pass it along.

Generally things are looking good. I will let you know of any changes.

Thank you Matthew,

It sounds like you are the only person looking after Max.

It is so kind of you to take that roll and let us all know what is happening.

I hope he gets better soon and can get back to his life.

A year or two ago Max was posting about what sounded like potentially grave chronic medical problems . This went on for some time, then everything seemed to clear up and he was back to what passes for normal here. I don't remember the issue, and I won't guess, but there might be something in past posts.

Hang in Max. We've already lost too many folks here.

Thank you Matthew for the update. Sounds like he is getting better if they plan to move him out of MICU.

Get well soon Max

Thanks for the update. Max and I have spoken a great deal 'off-line' and I still wear an armoured jacket he sent me with pride.

I join everyone in wishing him a full and speedy recover. As Jim said, he is indeed a treasure.

Get well soon, Max! We've not met, and I don't know that we'll have the occasion on account of me not really ever going to national scooter rallies, but if we do! - the first round...scratch that...ALL of your rounds are on me. You bring a tremendous amount of color and spark to this community, and I wish you all the best.

I relayed the phone number of a niece in France to the hospital and asked them to contact me if there were changes in his condition. I havent heard back yet. I will contact them and see what's up
