That's awful.  Thank you for letting us know.  I hope he gets well
quickly.  I think of Matt often - as a matter of fact just the other day
I was telling Nick that he teaches martial arts.

Hey Chris! 

How's it going? We were fortunate enough to miss all that Tornado stuff,
had a small funnel but it went away....western MA got hit bad! How are
you doing, how's work going? 

Just in case you were trying to call Matt, I wanted to let you know that
he has been  in the Hospital in the ICU at Catholic Medical Center in
Manchester. He contracted Guillian Barre syndrome, it's a rare disease
that basically attacks your nerves, this is what he has:

He had a prolonged virus for a couple weeks and they say that is what
brought it on. Right now, he's in ICU on a ventilator, he's going to get
through it but it's a really nasty disease.  He's paralyzed from his
neck down but they say with the help of antibodies he will recover from
it, not really sure how long.....some people are in the ICU from
anywhere from a week to 4 months....were hoping Matt kicks this quickly.
Again, I just wanted to let you know just in case you were trying to get
in touch with him.   

Thank you,
