darkwolf (michael) is in the hospital.
hi,

this is rowan...a good friend of michael's. i'm updating his LJ at his request to let those of you on his friends list (who aren't already aware of the situation) know that he's in the hospital right now due to complications from a brain tumor on his frontal lobe.

he found out about the tumor after an MRI on the 9th of this month. they did a biopsy on the 18th and the tumor turns out to be both malignant and extremely aggressive. he's currently paralyzed on his left side due to swelling in the area around the tumor. the doctors feel that they either have to operate soon or he'll only have a few weeks left. he's going to be going to either duke medical center in north carolina or to another center in charleston, sc...i'm not sure yet when, but hope to know more tomorrow.

i visited him this morning and he's in good spirits and taking the situation in stride. please keep him and his family in your thoughts.

blessed be.
rowan
