I would like to point out that NormT has offered a very generous offer. From IRC: "At the end of the conference call next wednesday you let me know your total from now, until then. And VoiceNetwork.ca will match it up to $1000.00". I thank you NormT for your continued support of our community and me during this time. Thank you all that have donated so far. Its helped pay for the expense of going thru this. Seems expenses pop up all over the place that are very unexpected. /b On Feb 16, 2012, at 3:56 PM, Ken Rice wrote:

As you already know Brian West is back in the hospital. The previous issue with the cyst has returned this time the Doctors have decided they need to go in and excise the cyst to relieve pressure on a nerve that is causing the heart problems.

Here's a quick Update from Brian himself :

"OK they are going in next tuesday (the 21st we can argue what NEXT tuesday vs THIS tuesday means later seems to be a HUGE debate). They may let me go home or they may not between now and then. They are NOT opening my chest they are going in thru my right side between the ribs. I'll have 5-10+ days of recovery after the surgery."

See http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/BKW-1 for more info on how you can help out and semi regular updates from Brian's hospital room
