No updates on Christ, but I did get an email from Chris. ( :rofl; Only teasing - I've made that typo myself!)

I hope it's OK with him to post some of it here. And I quote: "No strep, but C- diff positive and waiting on other test results.Checking for swine flu also, so in isolation. Potassium was extremelyhigh for some reason."

He said typing on his PDA makes him nauseated, so I hope he lays off the electronics until he's feeling better. (Hear that, Chris?)

Feel better soon, Chris. Much chocolate coming your way when you get out of there. I am hoping they can diagnose and fix whatever it is SOON.

I heard from him yesterday. They had tried giving him his immunosuppressants in the hospital and he finally got the non-generic tablets, after refusing the generic ones. He said he is now glad to be in the hospital because he is exhausted.
Get better soon Chris!  :cuddle;

Chris posted recently on facebook:
 Can't post on IHD for some reason. Still in isolation, frequent flyer miles to washroom is lower, energy still low so working on that. Thought of getting c-diff by doctors is from me being on amoxicillin and it killing off the probiotic bacteria. In other words kids, it's bad to get wisdom teeth removed....lol

Yes. I had all four removed abiout 5 years ago because the docs here made a extra comment that it was a MUCH better idea to do it before going on dialysis or getting close to a transplant as dental health is VERY important post transplant - I guess this is an area where it is very easy to get an infection :(

Chris hoping you can hang in there and get better soon!!

I had all four wisdom teeth removed a couple of years ago in prep for transplant. The dentist did them two at a time.

I didn't used to believe in extra parts.  I have my appendix, tonsils and all of my wisdom teeth.  NOW I do believe in extra parts...an extra kidney that is.   :rofl;

Chris, hope you get better VERY soon.
