No, I think it was your email they wanted.  Do you mean on the hospital's site?  I sent one.  Thoughts and prayers going Chris' way.

UPDATE!   Last messages To Beth: ultrasound shows narrowing of renal artery.  The next thing is a scope.   He is "hopped" up on drugs, doesn't feel good, having trouble seeing .   And he is looking forward to emails!!      These texts were sent around 7:30 his time.    I am so glad Chris let Beth know he was in the hospital  and hurray for texting!!

Thank you for the update Paris.  I'm not much for prayer or organized religion but I know  many of you are.  I wish we could all stop for a minute or so, say at 10 PM  tonight, and say prayers or send positive vibes or whatever we can do for Chris.  I remember my bible and there is something about "when two or more of you...".  Somebody else finish it.

Chris, I am sorry you're having trouble. I hope things can turn around and that "kaput" is only a temporary glitch.

Reading this has left me in tears I am so upset (not a good look sitting at my desk at work !)

I can't believe it.. I am so unhappy to read this. I have sent an email to him (thanks Paris!)

I am so glad AB has kept in touch with him and been a good support and he had her number still to let us all know what was going on. Thank God for AB!!!! :)

(Paris, I think she needs to take a trip to cheer him up in person....)

Chris is totally in my thoughts... this is just horrible.

Thanks for posting the info Paris, I sent Chris a note.  And even though I missed the official time, I am saying a whole bunch of prayers.

Oh Chris, What a bugger. I can only hope they are able to widen the narrowing in the artery and the kidney "wakes up" and starts to pee.

Thinking of you.   :cuddle;

Update:  He hasn't had the scope yet. They have found another problem, but his cell battery is dying, so he kept the text short.   Beth keeps sending him texts to cheer him --like David is sending him virtual chocolate and Richard thinks Beth should go to Chicago.   She will let us know when the next text comes in.   

Love you, Chris   :grouphug;

I just emailed Chris, you know you have to type in a word to prove your a real person. well the word they gave me was diuretic - honestly isn't that just rubbing salt into the wound!

Get well soon Chris  :grouphug;
