For those of you who know him or know of him from either SWAT or You Tube.
For about a couple of weeks plus he has had some serious health issues. A discovery of a tumor on his brain led to surgery which only a day or so ago they had to rush him back into surgery for blood clots on the brain.

He is now resting well somewhat alert though the haze of medication in NICU.

So if you can say a prayer, lite a candle, rub a Buddha's belly or what you may. Please do so. I have a gut feeling that if it wasn't for him many of us wouldn't even own a lathe let alone make pens.

I'll say a prayer or Two for Capt. Eddy. He's a asset to the Turning world. I wish him all the best and ask God to bless him' saying a prayer now.
 
Capt'n Eddie is included in my thoughts and prayers.
His contribution to Turning has covered the World.
As has his contribution to "Freedom Pens".
He is One in a Million.
Brian.
 
Very best wishes for Cap'n Eddie, one of the "characters" who make this world more interesting for the rest of us. Have really valued the lessons he has given us. Russ
 
Capt. Eddie deserves and needs our prayers and we need him. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family.
It has been a real privilege to visit with him at AAW and SWAT. He always has time to stop and visit and share.
Keep makin' shavings Capt.Eddie!!!

My thoughts & prayers are with Capt. Eddie. I've never met him, but I've learned a lot from his videos.
 
Prayers on the way...I was fortunate enough to meet him this spring at the AAW Symposium here in phoenix. Great guy.
 
I never met him but wish I could. Saw him on some u-tube vids and thought he is great. Prayers for him and his family. Joe

His daughter has been posting updates daily on Facebook right from the start and sometimes several updates per day .
Here is one from yesterday . He was posting messages there himself almost daily right up to just before his two surgery's

Sunday is good. As per Lisette: He just said he was at Ochsner when asked and said my name! It's muffled, but definitely understandable. I told him his birthday was coming up and that we would have to celebrate and he nodded yes. We had a good little conversation. I am letting him sleep for a while and will get him to talk to me again. Edema is making it a little hard to open his eyes today. The nurses say he is taking more. I am on my way to see him and can't wait to hear his voice.



And this one was also yesterday (Sunday) shortly after the above one.

Visiting Dad. The nurse asked him who I was and he said Fred and he was Edward! I laughed and cried at the same time! Sooo good to hear his voice! — feeling thankful.

Here is the latest that came in Monday morning on Facebook ...

She usually calls the hospital and checks on him like that and then goes to see him and posts more later in the day .

Just called and checked in with his nurse - he is having a good day. He knows his name and is oriented and that's a big plus. He's also off of his continuous BP medication as of this morning and his pressure is good. YAY!
