I found out earlier that Norm Koury "Itsadryrain" is in the ICU at St. Luke's Hospital Jacksonville. He is having serious issues with both his liver and renal system and was admitted yesterday evening. He is stable at this point and the staff is awaiting the results of a battery of tests to figure out a course of action. His sister is on her way from Jersey and should arrive this evening, I don't have anything else but will update this thread as info becomes available.
Stay strong Norm, you can make it through this!

I know most of us don't seem like the praying type but if there was ever a time to take up the habit it's NOW. Norm needs us to Rally! Like GGoose said it's dire. I've called the hospital but the bastards won't give status info to anyone but family. WE ARE his "Family". They just don't "get" that. I will update this thread as info is released to me. I am trying my hardest. Pray. Pray hard! Thanks, Sandy

My thoughts too are with Norm, a very decent guy who is a friend to all of us. It was Norm that first introduced me to Turn 10 in the first place. Hopefully he will be better soon and out of the hospital.

I have met Norm twice. Once at Sebring, and once at Petit. You meet good people and you meet great people, Norm is the latter. Best thoughts now  |

To All-
I consider Norm my best friend, this came as a bolt from the blue. I am leaving for J-ville shortly to try and see Norm. It's about a 2-2 1/2 hour trip. I truly hate to say it but things sound very bad. I honestly hope I am not saying goodbye.
More when I can.......
Rick
