I figured you guys might like to be in on this information, and since kyro treats POG like his personal blog, it seemed like a good idea.
BobO was really sick with what seemed to be an immune system illness for several months last year, and was in and out of the doctor's office repeatedly to try and treat the illness that as far as I know, was never really diagnosed or cured fully. Eventually the disease either was treated properly, or his immune system was able to combat it enough that he was able to be back to normal.
Or so we thought. He graduated from Geneseo last weekend and came home. I had called him on Wednesday, but only got his sister. They had checked him into a local hospital because he had been severely weak, had extreme swelling on various parts of his body, and could barely walk without enduring a ton of pain. From the limited information I have, it seems like it is not the same disease that afflicted him last year, but is likely similar and/or related.
The doctors again cannot not diagnose completely what is afflicting him, but it is definitely serious and immune-system related. From talks with his sister and mother, they were very worried, moreso than they were last year. The doctor's have given some likely possibilities for his affliction as Bechet's disease (

to as bad as Lupus (

I understand some of you don't care, or don't even like Bobo, but he is my friend, and at least the e-friend of some of you. Since he is out of commission, I'm really the only one that can let you guys know. When I read the words "potentially fatal" on some of these webpages, it worried me greatly, and I thought POG might care.
I'm going to see him in the hospital tomorrow (I've been too busy graduating the past two days, which btw, unban me you bitches lolz, i did my work this semester, 3.92 GPA yee), so I'll be able to provide more information tomorrow, and hopefully a more sunny forecast.
