Hey guys,
I exchanged texts with Bret today and he mentioned that he was really sick and having symptoms of West Nile virus. Those of you who don't know, the Dallas area all the way to my neck of the woods in NW Louisiana, there is an outbreak of cases being reported and some of them can become very serious. I just wanted to post up and ask that you guys keep Bret in your thoughts and prayers.

Also, I'd like to publicly say Thank You for the personal help you have given me recently and over the years. Always appreciated buddy. More on this subject at a later date

Best treatment is early diagnosis and recognition with treatment. Prayers most certainly go with him. There has been alot in dallas area.

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying he had the virus. He just stated that he had virus-like symptoms. Nevertheless, I'm sure he appreciates the thoughts and prayers.
