What does that mean specializing in terminal and fatal illnesses?....it's not like palliative is it? I'm sorry to be so on edge, but I practically lived in the hospital for a month with my Grandma, and it's just hideous when conditions constantly go up and down... I am so concerned about him... Please God make him better...he needs to be here!!!

Yes honey he is still conscious and he is more stable today than he was yesterday. Actually this is excellent news to me, in that kind of specialised hospital setting he will get the kind specialised infectious disease care I was telling you about. Still having a fever with bacterial meningitis is not so very unusual unless it's spiking 103 or over.
I am so glad to hear he is stablizing. He will also get the kind rehab he needs for the sight and hearing issues and the loss of strength in his left arm in this specialised setting. Seizures may be a problem but...Has he had anymore since the coma? the answer I think is no, he only had the one. Everyday he goes without a seizure lessens that possibility, but if they do occur they too can be controlled with medication. This is all excellent news all in all. Be prepared he will probably go through a period of depression about the disabililties where we all will need to remind him how lucky he is to be alive, to be able to be a father to CJ, to feel the sun, to have so many friends who love him. That's one of the reason I want to have asked Shea for an address where some of his closest friends here can send him cards and notes to help keep his spirits up.
No one is giving up on Chris, not us, certainly not Shea or his Mom. This is a move in the right direction. Rest assured that they will not move him until he is strong enough to be moved and when they do they will probably life flight him since Salt Lake is about 45 minutes away by ambulance and that;s a hard trip for someone critically ill.
Keep praying Hil, he's gonna be OK I feel it

Thanks for the update Vicky. You must be exhausted with all this with Chris and trying to take care of your sick father too.
Of coarse I pray for Chris to heal, but, also that Good Lord will give you and Chris's family strength to get through these hard times.

Vicky,
Thanks for the update. We have been waiting all day for updates on Chris. I have the same concern about moving him to another hospital, but I guess we should trust the doctors (though at this time, our faith in them is a little bit shaky now) that it's the best for Chris. But I agree with you and Mandy that under the circumstances, we got lucky.
Friends, keep those candles burning for Chris.

Thanks Geri, I am but it's a good tired because we are seeing so much positive results from all this hard work we are doing for Chris. I love him, he is my friend I could do no less. Actually I could do no less for anyone of you here. We are a community, a family and we take care of our own.
I have 181 personal messages in my in box and I don't think I've failed to respond to anyone of them so far. I'm gonna have to go clean that out.... probably bogging down the server. ;D
