He has Pulmonary fibrosis and Sjogrens, he is in perfect health other than his lungs.....Rich

I'm very happy that things are going well. I lost my 37 year old son last December to double pneumonia that the doctors just could not stop. Prayers sent for continued progress.

How is your nephew doing?

Not well......still sedated, long list of things not going as they should. Going over to Dallas in AM to see him, and I'll know better.........Rich

Hope he gets better. Hope he is doing good so far...

Wish I could report good news but I can't, he has had a setback and is showing signs of possible rejection. Platelet count down and fluid on the lungs and around heart. But the DR. at Baylor are the best anywhere so he is in good hands. They put him on dialysis to lower the fluid level in his body yesterday so we hope that will stop the build up. Just so much going in and not enough coming out (he has 14 I.V. lines in)........Rich

Baylor is a most excellent hospital. My family and I are praying for your family my friend.
