I'm surprised there's no discussion of this on here, perhaps I'm missing it, but Tim Behle's struggle with Valley Fever has culminated with a week long stint in the ICU.
He was removed from life support yesterday afternoon and I don't think he was expected to survive with the holes in his lungs. I came here expecting to see some more recent info, admittedly expecting the worst. Please share if you've heard any news, I struggle to stay in the loop anymore but I'll do the same.
I met Tim 10 years ago this month, I know some of you have known him much longer, let's hope for a long shot. He's good at those.
Thanks; Jason R. Bruce

This is the first I have heard?
If anybody else has any information at all about Tim, we need to hear it. In any case, if things are as dire as indicated above, I am shocked and saddened.

Tim has been removed from life support, and has a DNR in effect. A severe case of Valley fever along with pneumonia have caused several lesions and holes thru his lungs, along with the other associated problems they cause.

The last most of us knew, Tim was living in Mexico, checking the Boards on his phone, and his health problems mostly behind him.
This comes as a shock.

ditto on koko.
I thought the shingles and Valley Fever were long ago and basically cured?
Shock doesn't even begin to describe it! Can't believe it, poor guy!

Damn... I haven't heard from Tim in a coons age. Speaking of age though, he's the same age as I am, which is too young for this.
Sorry to hear about it.
He gave me a box of cigars way back when I knew about him being sick, which like Leonard says, I thought was basically over, quite a many years ago. I still have a couple of them left.

I have kept up with Tim on FB. His illness seemed to come on very fast, and the news is very sad. I'll never forget his making burritos for all of us.

Like Geordie, I have tried to follow it the past few days on Facebook, but information has been sketchy, at best. When he got shingles, I used him as a guinea pig and ordered some medicine from a guy Ronnie Robison used to use as a med source for his pain control and, according to Tim, the meds worked great in controlling the shingles pain. He has been through many challenges in life since and I've had occasional contact with him the past two years. Things have been spotty and now this. Very sad.

I have kept in touch with Tim thru FB as well. This all seems to have come on suddenly. I don't know a lot of details. Other than to say he needs our thoughts and prayers at this time.

I just got a message from Larry and Brenda Behle. Tim is in St. Marys hospital in Tucson. They were given no hope from his doctors Yesterday they took him off the vent and brought him out of an induced coma , after a time he responded to answer some yes and no questions the doctors were amazed. They say he had two holes in his lungs one was repaired the other not as they are thinking another will develop due to the condition of his lungs. It seems our friend is in very rough shape and in need of our thoughts and prayers.

This is really hard to believe. Mortality, you know?
I have a continuing objection to FaceBook, never have been on it, but can see where it might have been an advantage yesterday when I googled Tim Behle.; create an account, etc. But still, I don't Twitter or FaceBook and can't give you a good reason why?
Thanks for the info, Paul. Much appreciated. LB

I use facebook to keep in touch with some friends and relatives I would not otherwise have contact with. I also use it to vent my deep seated disdain of the current administration and liberals and other commie scum in general. Its a lot of fun in that regard. edit to say I don't twitter or anything else just fb. [ July 02, 2014, 12:06 PM: Message edited by: Paul Melching ]

Yeah, hear ya on that shit. My Reno relatives network with my NorCal relatives who communicate with my Colorado family and also with the AZ (Phoenix/Scottsdale) part of the family. All in all, they manage to keep abreast of what I get into, more or less.
Son and grandson in Colorado Daughter and granddaughters in San Rafael Uncle and girl cousins in Reno Cousin and girl second cousins in Phx.
I'm the only holdout left in SoCal. 'bout time I did something about it, instead of just talk, eh?
Hang in there, Tim. Everybody's praying for ya.

Tim's mother just posted a request (21 hours ago) on his facebook page asking for phone numbers of anyone that wanted to hear from him "when he got to feeling better", so maybe things are improving. I posted on that thread that there were a lot of us gnarly old wolfers holding him up in prayer and asked that they try to keep us updated as much as possible through that FB page. I will try to bring any updates here as they become available.

Tim's mother just posted that Tim has made a miraculous turn around and is being released soon his lungs are still in bad shape. She said Monday they were planning a funeral and now this. Never doubt the power of prayer. What a huge relief to hear this fine news. Thank you all for your thought and prayers.

Here is the update his mom posted 18 hours ago.
UPDATE ON TIM: Now I can tell you the rest of the story, just like Paul Harvey. On Monday, we met with the doctors and we were to watch him this week and if there was no improvement we were going to place him in Hospice on the following Monday. On Tuesday morning they noticed that he was able to breathe on his own. So they gave him oxygen under his nose and brought him out his coma. One Wednesday, he was even better and they were moving him to a regular room. We didn't want to provide any false hope so we just maintained that he was improving. Today, Brenda called and talked to him and he had been looking for us all day because he wanted to tell us that he was being released tomorrow. The staff can not believe the turn around he made in less than 48 hours. Brenda made a comment to him and he said, "don't you believe in the power of prayer?" He will have his cell phone back tomorrow and be back on the computer. His lungs are still in terrible shape, but he is doing fine. This is certainly a miracle. We were actually planning a funeral on Monday and now he is coming home. Amazing......
