Prayers for John; when he lived nearby here in far west Houston close to Katy, me & him would spend hours, way into late night, early mornings talking about model rocketry, the space program and related subjects. I really hated when he had to move, but he did what he had to. His presence is sorely missed in the Houston area.

Get well John, we're all praying for you.

Is there any news on Mr. Pursley? I noticed just now that EBay took his store down.

I have not seen any further updates on FB.
I know they were trying to close the eBay store down since his is a 1 man shop and obviously can't ship product.
His direct store is still open though - but again nothing can actually ship....

Just saw this posted on Facebook:

Update on John Pursley:
Finally, some good news. After his recent near brush, John is conscious and lucid. The hospital is allowing phone conversations. They will be getting John up into a chair and will be trying walking with assistance. John would like to talk to people; it seems he's going stir crazy.
John's hospital number is 214-947-8181 Room 6212, if you'd like to get in touch.

That he is about to go stir crazy and is otherwise cranky and complaining is the ABSOLUTE but outward sign there could be. Great news!!!

When the patient is not complaining and is otherwise totally compliant with all they are going through it is generally a sign they are still very sick. But once they start outwardly complaining about boredom, confinement, the bad food, etc., it is a GREAT sign.

Somebody slip a decent size laptop in his room and let him design some wraps while he's being held captive!
