I thought Mudcatters would like to know and wish him better.
Information via his Facebook friends give the following details:

"...our- dear friend Severn Savage has once again landed in the hospital. Friday night he went to the ER complaining of chest pains and general malaise only to discover he had an inexplicable build-up of fluid around his heart... They then gave him a free helicopter ride to Baltimore. I visited him tonight and found him weak but in good spirits, due in no small part to the return of basketball to television. He'd like visitors (rm. 626 in the Weinberg Section of the UMBC Hospital, the one near Camden Yards) and can be reached at 443-462-4770 in his room. Cell phones don't seem to work in the building. Please call or visit to cheer him up- Christmas in the Hospital has gotta suck. Am going back tomorrow and will report any news here, but please give him a buzz or stop by." Please y'all, give Severn a call or a visit if you're able."

Love and gentle hugs
