I'm wondering if the CMV had something to do with Chris often not feeling very hungry.

I was talking with him today and he is worried because he is spilling protein. He will be under going some more tests so he is not going home yet. Lets say some extra prayers for him.  |

Rose, I think he would appreciate emails. I have been texting back and forth on my phone. He says he might get out Sunday. I think he's waiting to get an endoscopy. |

Chris has been receiving the emails from our members - and happy to get them!
He has to get "scoped" tomorrow so is on liquid diet only - which is not much different from what he's been eating due to to difficulty digestion problems anyway.

They did an endoscopy - I think - took tissue samples. He's still not feeling great so he will be in at least until tomorrow. I sent another email - the hospital staff probably thinks I have nothing else to do!  |

yes it is, according to dictionary.reference.com! tr.v. text·ed, text·ing, texts 1. To send a text message to: She texted me when she arrived. 2. To communicate by text message: He texted that he would be late. |

And an update:
I text (or texted according to the Sluff vocabulary) Chris, and he said he's being set free today, but still waiting on tissue test results.
