Adam Lavine sick

[KennedyMarx]

My friend and bonsai artist Adam Lavigne has been in the hospital with a blood infection and bowel blockage. He had to have emergency surgery a couple days ago and this morning he got his breathing tube removed. He's doing better but will need more surgery in the future so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Always a difficult time for family and friends to have a loved one ill during the holidays.

Best wishes for his speedy recovery

Sorry. I forgot how to English.

Must've been a long day for me.

His blog is fantastic- I enjoy it very much

Looks like improvements!
Why isn't he on Bnut?

He said (I'm paraphrasing) that he doesn't use forums because people are rude to each other on them and can't get along with disagreements about soil, whether or not certain plants can be considered bonsai (ginseng ficus), etc. That's what I understand, at least. Could be time issue as well.

I have learnt a bunch of soils on here, but stopped there and don't read those too much anymore, if it works, it works, period... in my opinion, no need to post about the soil you are using and no need to get in discussions if you don't want to.

He would be a huge asset if he ever gets in here! I looooove his blog and his twisted sense of humor makes it a lot more readable.

 

[coh]

Glad to hear that he seems to be doing better. It's scary how quickly you can go from good health to crisis. I had a friend who suffered an intestinal obstruction a few years ago and also had surgery. Recovery was complete but took a while.

I hadn't seen his blog until this thread. He obviously puts a lot of time into the blog and I can understand why he'd choose to do that and stay away from forums. More and more people are making that choice.

It's definitely great news that he's feeling a little better. He really is one of "good guys", always ready to teach and share his love of bonsai. I've learned immensely from him and the study group he hosts.

I doubt we'll see him posting here, but you never know, I suppose. I think he feels the blog format better suits his writing style, and of course he spends a lot of time making old-fashioned, in-person bonsai connections.

he just posted this

Great news...He is getting to go home. Not the look I'm used to seeing on his face from his blog....But understandable none the less. Get well soon brother.
