In this video I share the story of Paul’s sudden and life-threatening illness while we were sailing in Malaysia. What started as pneumonia quickly became Melioidosis, a rare tropical infection that led to ICU, lung surgery, and weeks of recovery in Kuala Lumpur. This is the timeline of those difficult weeks, the milestones that brought him back, and the incredible medical care that helped save his life. The good news is that Paul is now recuperating and we are slowly getting back to life aboard Raney Day Fun.

    I’m so happy Paul and you are getting back to normalcy!!! Was also wondering how you and your shoulder are doing? Miss you two! Can’t wait for a ride on your boat!

      Shoulder is doing really well. Not back to 100% yet, but moving well – just can’t lift stuff over my head… yet!

    That was a long haul. Good video describing the time line. Glad he’s better. Since I heard about your episode I have prayed for you two.
