If not please pass it around. Jon Butterworth is in hospital.
Doesn't look good.
His liver and kidneys are in really bad shape. So bad that they won't give him dialysis.
He also has pneumonia and is in intensive care. My brother Chris is up in Toowoomba now and going to the hospital with Sue.
I will let you guys no more when I get word from him but it doesn't look good.

I'll be praying for ya too, Jon. I know you had a pretty rough time, after that fall too.
God bless you!

According to his brother.. It doesn't sound good. His kidneys have failed. The doc's will not do dialysis because they say it will do no good. His liver is swelled up huge. His brain scan shows some problems as well.
He is in intensive care. They pray the Great Architect of the Universe will intervene.

Funny thing, I was just thinking about Bushie the other day. I hadn't see him on the Bullboard. I thought to myself, "Man, he might be sick, I hope not". I pray the Lord gives you and your family much strengh at this time.

Another prayer from me. Hang in there Bushie.

I just chatted with Nic,, Jons brother. Jon took a turn for the worse overnight. His liver count skyrcketed... The med team canceled all procedures and basically said that Jon has just a few hours.
