If there's a Dogfight group message or card still in the works by all means include my name among JD's other well wishers here.
As Kestrel said, a more detailed update on JD's post-surgery condition would, I'm sure, be welcomed by everyone following his progress. Only as updated info and your time allows, of course.
Needless to say, I would have preferred this dreadful circumstance never to have happened to one of our own but the response from people of all faiths and regardless of squad affiliations serves to reinforce what a supportive, unified community this can be when someone among us finds him/herself faced with a challenge such as this.
I've enjoyed playing with JD but don't know him well. It strikes me that someone who does what he does, embraces speed, danger, evaluates and chooses to take on the inherent risks, must be the personality type who will not allow a tragic accident to beat him. Our wishes are sure to be appreciated but it's JD's personal strength and the support of his loved ones and medical professionals that'll pull him through.
Ghost and/or whomever is keeping most closely in touch, feel free to check in on the M.O.M thread with a word or two as you learn more. I know our members are hoping JD will make a full, rapid recovery.
