King Banaian is in the hospital.
King is in the hospital at this time and won't be blogging for a while. We'd talked Saturday morning - he'd landed in the hospital then with some stomach problems. He's on a restricted diet so stomach issues cannot be ignored. He was feeling better and they could find no source of the problem. He came to the Twin Cities to do his afternoon radio show, drove back to St. Cloud only to return to the hospital on Saturday night.
Tests run today indicate his problem is his gall bladder. He'll wait for surgery because he is now running a fever and having heart palpitations. His St. Cloud blogging buddy, Gary Gross, has information here.
As of now, surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning. King has received pain meds. I will keep readers posted. In the meantime, any thoughts and prayers for King and his family are welcome. Any comments you post will be forwarded to King's family. Thank you.
That's from his co-blogger, Janet. Get well, King. Your fellow MnSCU economist and friend, along with his family, send you and the rest of the Banaian crew the best.
Update: Gary notes King had surgery on his gall bladder this morning and is recuperating. That's good news - not that he had to get sliced, but that he's recuperating.
Phil, I've posted another update on King's situation here:

Thanks Gary! I've updated my post. If you see him tell him I'm thinking about him.
