Just saw this on fb from Lady Paula....
This is to let everyone know Owain will not be performing this weekend, July 21 & 22, at the Great Lakes Medieval Faire as he was admitted to the hospital lastnight. Hopefully, he'll be able to make the remaining weekends there. I'll keep you informed. ~~lady paula
Keep them in your thoughts and prayers....

Heard it was pancreatitis. Get well soon Owain! Sounds really painful.

Here is the update from FB
"Update on the Bard's condition: Although the biopsy tests won't be known for approximately two days, the doctor doing the biopsy said it appears not to be cancer; however, that is still a possibility. Also, there are serious complications that need to be addressed in the next few days."

And for those who may not know, Rescu will help with some of the medical bills - all the more reason to find all the performers and vendors you can who donate or fundraise for Rescu! Plunder Dogs and others are also passing the hat for Owain to provide living expenses - the bard who does not sing does not eat! Please be generous, and as many have said on Facebook: Rally 'Round the Bard!

If you're not on Facebook, here is an update from Lady Paula:
"It's been a while since I've posted anything and that's because, essentially, nothing has changed in Owain's condition. We're still waiting on the biopsy results of three different tests. We can say, however, with a great measure of certainty (99%), that an active cancer is the culprit.
Owain and I have been especially touched and humbled by the outpouring of goodwill, not to mention the generosity of all you dear friends.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers" ~~ lady paula
Donations for medical and living expenses can be sent directly to Owain and Paula via PayPal at inngate@nightwatchrecording.com.
You can stay updated on either Owain's FB page or the new group "We Love Owain Phyfe." Rally 'round the bard!

An update from The Bard himself, from Facebook. Please continue to send well-wishes, love and prayers that he kicks this cancer's arse!!!!
"This has not been fun, nor anticipated. After eighteen excruciating days, I have just returned home from the hospital. I look (and feel) like the Green Man, after a Colorado forest fire. The good news: I am once again in the safe care of my favorite, and very capable nurse, Lady Paula. Dear, Friends, I am so deeply touched by your out-pouring of well wishes and your gifts of financial help. I am so blessed. After all, I'm just some little guy who plays the great songs of Ancient Times, at little venues across the country, loving what I do, but still trying to scratch out a living.It's time now to take-on the cancer directly. Thank you for adding to my resolve. During the eighteen days of hospitalization, I didn't have to struggle to conger up personal theories and thoughts on the 'meaning of life,' No. I just laid back, armed with your sentiments, and learned the lessons from you. Thank You."

Update from Jamie Haeuer, a good friend of Owain and Lady Paula, who has been organizing collections and such... "....We have some news. Owain Phyfe has pancreatic cancer that has spread to the stomach. He starts radiation therapy in two weeks. His pancreatic function remains normal. I'm going to talk to some oncologist friends tomorrow and see what it means. In the meantime, Owain is happily at home with Lady Paula, sleeping in his own bed and eating light meals. He had a thimble full of cabernet. They are also looking at alternative therapies."Please keep Owain and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Also check out this Site for a CD compiled by our own Vinny Polowy, with the combined talents (to name just a few).... Master Owain Phyfe The Plunder Doggs Judy Plester Michael Manderen Captain John Stout Silent Lion Rogues of Rafferty Terry Griffith ...and many more! All proceeds going to Owain and Lady Paula!!

I'm lighting healing candles for Owain and for Bill & Sue's son David. Anyone else who feels the love to express to deities or energy that would be wonderful too... And,---thank you.

Latest update via FB
Dear Friends, there's a new update on Owain. Unfortunately, he had to be admitted to the hospital again this afternoon because of an obstructive condition causing jaundice. He's scheduled for a surgical procedure tomorrow morning to clear the obstruction. The doctor gave us hope that he might be able to come home on Friday or, if by special mightiness, on Thursday. We are so grateful to all of you kind and gentle folks for all that you are doing. ~~ lady paula
