Fun and Excitement in the Georgetown University Hospital CCC

All - Liz again, figured I'd update this since I had a few minutes.

Remind me never to challenge anyone on the number of procedures you can receive in 24 hours in the Critical Care Center at GUH. Tim was moved there last night and he's been through the wringer.

Things have gotten more serious. As it turns out, the doctors here are not sure what has caused Tim to become so ill. Tim's body is responding as though he has a systemic infection so that's how they are treating it. So he's been put on a ventilator and is under sedation. He is continuing to fight the infection and the next 24 to 48 hours are going to determine where we go from here. The doctors have not given us any indication of the timing of how this will resolve yet. We hope to have better indications based on all the tests shortly. Tim's a fighter and I believe in him so I hope to have better news tomorrow.

Keep thinking of him - it helps. Liz
