Alohabeth just got a text from Chris. His kidney isn't doing very well and he has little urine output.  He wanted Beth to let me know and she will keep in touch with him.   Please say lots of prayers for him.  I will post when I know more.

Oh!  So sorry to hear this!  Thanks for letting us know, Paris.  I was wondering why Chris hadn't been around much recently. 

I certainly hope they can determine what is wrong and are able to fix it.

Please keep us updated.   :grouphug;

Last text was "Doctors came in and said kidney is "kaput"  Still pushing fluids, but no output."   Beth is letting him know that we are all worried and saying prayers.  She is also checking to see if the hospital has patient email system.

http://www.provena.org/stjoes/   This will take you to the Hospital page, on the left column click on "patent emails". They will print them and deliver them to Chris.  I know he will be glad to hear from everyone.

Christopher Smith   Room 540-1     



Don't click on the "email a friend" that is under the cloud picture.  Go to the left column menu and click on "patient emails"  You will just need his name and room #.   :thumbup;
