Jack hasn't run a fever today (yet - knock on wood) and all of the cultures and skin biopsy have come back negative so we still don't know why he started running them in the first place. His bouts of low blood pressure have taken a hit on his kidney and liver (both are still functioning) so we will learn more on that in the next couple of days. The damage should be able to be reversed and have no perminent affect.
He did not sleep well last night and so has been making up for it today. They put him on the IV blood pressure medicine last night but have since weaned him off of it during the course of today and also he has let go of the oxygen assistance so we are making progress towards getting him at least out of ICU and into a regular hospital room. He has not really eaten too much today since he is sleeping though all the meals - not that he loves the hospital food anyway.
It also seems that in between sleep and awake he is working on all the problems at work - something about the team and calling someone's boss, etc. Nothing real clear but I will be sure to note any break throughs so he will be able to follow up! The doctors asked him who I was when I walked in the room and he did come up with Mrs. Zaney so I will have to make sure that he knows my first name when he wakes up.

Thanks for the update Cheryl. The news seems hopeful. God bless you for being there and taking care of Jack. Our family owes you a huge debt of gratitude.
Since Jack is a little woozy, just tell him I love him. We really don't say it out loud to each other and I want to make sure he knows it. Yea... and you're pretty special, too!
Praying hard,
Mary
Cheryl glad that Jack is a little better...please tell him that I am thinking about him and praying for his speedy and full recovery. Hopefully he will start complaining about being in the hospital soon...then it will be time to get out!!! Love and Prayers to both of you...Leslie Johnson
Hey you two...
Been thinking about you and praying the Lord keeps you in his loving, healing arms.
Boss Man, only for you, I will say good luck to the Pats, just because I know if they win it will perk you up (but secretly you know I want my G-Men to get the big "W"). Hoping you are on your feet soon or at least the apartment couch!
Cheryl - there is only one name I can think of for you... Angel!!! Keep your spirits up!

Cheryl and Jack--I have been too long in reading this. I'm thinking about you, marvelling at your strength and learning so much about what you're fighting through. You're on my mind and in my prayers (still can't get the meds straight, so I just pray for healing).
Cheryl, you're a hero and Jack, you are one tough cookie. Let me know what I can do.
