Sej Dunning

Those of you who know Sej will be saddened to hear that he remains seriously/critically ill in the Sandton Clinic, where he has been for the past 2-3 weeks with a bad bout of malaria.

There are positive signs, I believe, and we are therefore praying Sej will make a full recovery.

You may wish, however, to offer up a prayer of your own.

I am deeply saddened to hear about this. I sure will send prayers his way and wish all the best for him and his family at these times.

I sure did enjoy working and flying with Sej all those years ago.

I heard just last night that his condition is still very serious, but that he is now making an attempt at communicating (although be it only a wink) with people that see him.

Apparently he contracted cerebral malaria.

Had some of the finest times as a youngster with him in Durban when he was at 19b. Godspeed old SEJ.

Hang in there, Sej. You're the only one at RA ballsy enough to make a decision and they need you.

All good things to family and friends in this time of crisis.....

I believe the ICU staff at the Sandton Clinic are amongst the best in the country, so I think Sej is in good hands.

I have heard that, earlier this afternoon, Sej was awake and alert, despite the pneumonia he has picked up and for which he is receiving physiotherapy. He can only communicate by writing, because of the tubes, etc.

He is by no means out of the woods, though, and faces a long battle back to health. However, there appear to be good reasons for optimism.

Latest news is that Sej is still battling with pneumonia but that the malaria appears to be a thing of the past.

He's still in ICU on a ventilator.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. It's going to be a long uphill struggle. Knowing Sej, he'll be determined to come through so he can buy all of you, who have been rooting for him, a celebratory drink or ten!

Signor Sej

I heard last night that Sej is still VERY ill. There was a small improvement yesterday but not enough for all his friends to begin partying. Sej, hang in there, you are in all our thoughts and prayers and are in excellent hands at Sandton.
