My drummer (Will Ong) was in the hospital from 7-28 to 8-08 with organized pneumonia, and chronic influencea & boop.
He has tiny holes in his lungs traping air in his chest, throat and sometimes shoulder blades. He had a lung byopsy almost three weeks ago that didn't help with the diagnosis. He also had a chest tube in him for a week along with a bronchoscopy. He eneded up leaving with 3 staples and 12 stitches in on his side along with a nice hole from the chest tube. He is currently home on an oxygen machine for 2 months. The doctors don't know if these holes in his lungs will seal up or if the infection will return so It might be longer.
There are a couple of benefit shows coming up to help Will pay for his $72,000 and rising hospital bill. On top of the several doctors I need to see in the next few weeks. One of hese shows is 9-12-08 @ the High Five 9pm to Midnight.
If u could come out or help promote this benfit show and support a great drummer, musician and friend it would help out a great deal for Will.
it was awesome to see you without a bar between us. it should happen more often. and if i havent said it enough, thanks sooooooo much for setting up that show last minute and all, i really appreciate it.
