Update on our friend Q Well, as much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news it looks like that is the case. John (F4I) spoke to Q's fiance last night and he is not doing well. He's been having seizures and ripping his IV's out and oxygon mask off. The doctors are saying it could be a matter of days for him. He is now at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield. From what John said they have removed visiting hours for him so you can pretty much go up at any time. They are trying to limit the visitations to groups of 4 or 5 at a time. If you can make it up there to see him it would raise his spirits. Im trying to get the details of his room number and all that. For the life of me I can not remember Q's last name. Otherwise I would have just called the hospital and asked. Im am going to go up and see him tonight, if anyone would like to go with me let me know.

Jeff and I were just up there visiting with Q and his family. Things have definatly taken a turn for the worse, and I think it's important that anybody who wants to see him go very soon. He has been heavily sedated, and just sleeps all of the time. Doctors say he may have pnemonia now, and that is somewat common from what I understand in cancer patients who are on steroids....according to his fiancee anyway.
So make sure you go say hi, his family is usually there. I can't remember his room #, but his full name is Quentin Fortson.
Here's my boy...just like we all remember him......

I can't do it. I've seen the final battle of cancer way too many times and I hate to sound selfish but mentally I don't know if I can do it. Please pass on that I want to send my love but simply am not strong enough.
May Q find his peace - He is a great man and an incredible friend and that is how he will remain in my heart. That picture that Eric posted is how I will remember him - always Larger than Life!

kinda have the same feelings here. I didn't know Q probably as well as all of you did, so I'd just like to remember him the way the last time I seen him. My prayers are with him! <------ From Papa Kev's post

I was up there for a couple hours Monday night. They backed the meds they use to sedate him down a little to try and combat the build up of fluids in his lungs. Doing so appears to have made him a little more uncomfortable, so they brought them back up a little. Good news, he doesnt have pneumonia which was a concern. With his meds being a little lower he was opening his eyes more, but in the time I was there he did not recognize anyone.
On a side note, his mother mentioned that they may be moving him from CDH to a nursing home. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet. If and when I hear something I will update.
