All,

First, I would like to pass along a sincere thanks from his wife Carol and son David for all of the kind words and prayers.

Now to the hard part....

I received a text from David this evening which is as follows:

"We just got done with the last visit and talked to the cardiologist. Every major doctor at Huntsville Hospital is working on dad. He told us he still doesn't have a good chance of surviving. He may have to start dialysis because his kidneys aren't functioning right. They are impressed on how attentive he is, which is good. It's just hard to see...they are just taking it day by day for the next few. So he is about as good as he can get".

I'm sure this news was a lot harder to type for a 17 year old son than it was for me. He and Carol are both very strong and keeping it together as best as they can. Please continue to pray for Chris and for Carol and David.

I will keep you all updated as I get more news.
