All,
David and I are headed to the hospital to see Chris this morning.
Last night was much better than the previous. We didn't get any phone calls during the night which is an improvement. When we left at 9pm (after the last visit) his fever had come down from 102.5 at 2pm to 101 at 9pm.
The doctors are hoping the dialysis will help purge his system of the toxins and help to restore some of his internal functions. They told us it would be at least 24 hours before we would be able to see any results from that. So we should see some more improvement later today.
When I saw Chris at 4:30pm yesterday I held his hand and told him how much we were all pulling for him. He was able to squeeze my hand a little in response, so I know the message found its way to him.
Chris' family all appreciate everyone's prayers and well wishes. His wife Carol is a very strong woman and is keeping herself together. David is doing good as well. It looks to me that she is trying to be strong for David and is doing the same for her.
All we can do is keeping praying for him. The doctors have done everything they can at this point. Now it is all up to CB and the man upstairs.
I will keep everyone updated after I see him today.

All,
We just got through with our morning visit. The nurse was very impressed with his improvement. He has been taken off of the insulin drip. His temperature has come down to 99, blood pressure has been good all morning and his heart rate has been good.
The nurse would not let us in the room this morning because every time we talk to him he tries to respond and then starts coughing which in turn throws the dialysis machine out of whack. The dialysis has helped tremendously to improve his overall condition.
I can't stress enough how happy the nurse is with his progress. He still has a long way to go but he has begun taking little steps in the right direction.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. They are obviously working so keep praying for him.
I'll post another update later this evening after we visit with the doctors this afternoon.

I recently had a good friend diagnosed with significant breast cancer (she's only 40) and lost another to heart attack, and he was only 63. I don't know Chris but it is heartening to hear that he's improving. God bless him and his family.
