On Monday, February 7th, Mikey Dee underwent catheter-based surgery for an
ongoing heart condition that had a result of complications. He is in serious
condition at Children's Hospital.

As per the wishes of his family, visitors have been restricted to immediate
family. Well wishes may be sent care of The Planetary Group, so that they
may be forwarded to Mikey Dee and his family.

In lieu of flowers, a trust has been established to assist with any medical
or other expenses. Checks are payable to:

The Mikey Dee Musician's Benefit Trust
c/o The Planetary Group
327 Summer Street
Studio 4
Boston MA 02210

At the moment, gifts are just that, but this trust will be set up as a
non-profit, which will enable the donations to be tax deductible.
