Our friend and colleague Capt Russ, who himself has had some medical setbacks lately, now has a new burden to bear.
His son Logan, who I've met on several occasions, was suddenly stricken by a virus-borne condition known as Sudden Respiratory Failure Syndrome and is currently in ICU on life support. Apparently it was touch and go for quite awhile and he is still on life support and unable to breathe on his own. Russ is understandably shaken but trying to tough it out. Logan, aside from being his son, is also a key part of Russ's production company and handles most of the highly technical stuff. Logans's sudden illness plus his own recent medical problems coupled with some pressing (Logan-dependent) business commitments must surely be causing Russ a great deal of stress. Yeah, he's a tough old geezer but I'm sure he could use a little love and support about now.
Hate to always be the bearer of bad news but most of have reached an age where SOME bad news is inevitable.
