I just talked to John......
He's hanging in there, but sick as a dog. He did go to the ER this morning, and got conflicting info about what he should do. He thinks he will go to the hospital in Pittsburgh tonight because the local one is sucky. He is on Cipro and something else strong enough to kill anything that gets in it's path, so hopefully those will do the trick! Keep praying for him, though.....just knowing that we are all concerned and sending good thoughts seemed to make him feel at least a little better.
Also...his DSL is down so he can't post. He said he'd be in touch with somebody later. If I hear from him tonight, I'll let you know.
