This was posted elsewhere: "Just got a call from Wr. Manny Blanco of Moreno Valley Lodge. Apparently our Brother Theron is in hospital with kidney failure. The outlook is so dire that he's not expected to survive the weekend."
I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone here the contributions Bro. Theron has made/is making to Freemasonry. So I know mine won't be the only thoughts and prayers.
If anyone hears more, please post it.

Bro. Prometheus just posted the following at NOS:
"Brother Theron's wife has shared the following (I pray that I have it correct):
Theron was in surgery this morning. It was successful but he is in critical condition.
The doctors give him a 48 hour window before they know if he will be okay. In the last 30 minutes his BP has come up. This is a good sign.
She is receiving calls and says that all calls and prayers are welcome. She will be up all night to talk to any one who wants to know what is going on.
She is also letting everyone know that all who can should come and visit to pay possible last respects.
Pray if you can. Call if you know his number.
P"

This is quite devastating news and I pray Bro TD will make a full and speedy recovery.
If I were anywhere near the hospital I would go and visit.

I hear ya. I'm wishing the West coast wasn't so darn long A number of the BB in California already have made it there or are on their way. Word posted at the T3Ps is worrisome but, still, encouraging. Please do keep the prayers, thoughts and good energies headed toward Riverside.

Lord, I pray it be encompassed within thy will that Bro. Theron shall be preserved through this time of travail and restored to his loving family, friends and Brethren in good health. May this ordeal strengthen him in spirit upon his sincere quest and reveal yet greater insights and further mysteries along the path he treads. So Mote it Be.

It's a frightening time, alright. Especially when one is being encouraged to possibly pay "last respects."
I really hope he get through this.

Bro Karen, I hope you don't mind but I am placing this thread in the main Masonic discussion area. This is too serious for the "Talking Chaff" section.

UPDATE: Brothers et al, I just talked with his daughter. He is currently steady. BP is "in the 80's" and pulse rate is a steady 124. He has been placed in an induced coma and injected with a paralyzing medication to prevent any movement. According to the doctors he can hear, so family (about 20 who have visited so far) and a huge assortment of local Brothers are talking to him with much encouragement. Doctors will know more today between 9 am and 12 noon PST. I have taken the time to read all these posts to his daughter so that she may communicate the names, thoughts and prayers to her father when she goes into his room to talk to him -- which she said she will gladly do. This shall take at least a month to get through. Prayers continue. P Thank you Bro:. P! This is encouraging, so steady as she goes, then. We all look forward to further updates in due course.

Thank you for the update, Bro. Prom. It is most encouraging. Bro. Leo, you are, of course, correct, this is the appropriate forum. It's just that when I tunneled in here with this news last night, I was in such a state that just started spouting it on the first board I arrived in. Thank you for moving it

Brothers et al, I just received word from Brother Jason Smith who has traveled to the hospital to visit with Brother Theron. Theron's daughter just informed Brother Jason that it appears that Brother Theron will not make it through the night. Should you be able to visit, know that this is the time. Be aware, he is still in a coma. Prayers continue, P Good Lord! What desperate news this is. I just hope and pray there's still time for him to pull through.

Bro. Chris Hodapp has posted the following update at T3Ps here: "A message from James Dunn at 9PM PT Saturday night reports that Theron's blood pressure has gotten above 100 and his temperature has come down a little. His color has improved."

Deo Gratias.
I keep him in my prayers until he is out of danger.
Especially on this Feast of Pentecost may the Holy Spirit, the Comforter be with him and his family in this time of trial.

Not knowing what else to do I decided to do what I do best and create something for Theron on the Internet. He has www.therondunn.com/Which I made for him. I have changed the web pages to make them just easy to read. I still have the old pages. Then I have added a guest book. I thought we might like to leave our get well soon messages etc. you can access through the web site or if you prefer to go direct www.therondunn.com/guests/mjguest.php
