[Nfbv-announce] Update on Ray McGeorge

[lpovinelli]

From: Scott LaBarre

Greetings Friends: 

I just returned from Rose Hospital here in Denver where I was able  to visit with Diane McGeorge and also able to see Ray very briefly.  He is still in the ICU and on the respirator but he has been very stable today.  Yesterday afternoon after I had last written, Ray hit a rough patch where many of his vital signs went out of wack including his temperature which exceeded 105 for a couple of hours.  They instituted all kinds of treatment yesterday and brought everything under control in the night.   

Today, he has been showing definite signs of improvement in that he fusses when they try to move him around too much and he has been gripping Diane's hand and not wanting to let it go.  He is still very heavily sedated but they are going to reduce those medicines slowly through the day with the hope that they will be able to revive him fully tomorrow.  There is great hope that he has passed through the worst of the infection and has rounded the corner.   

Diane expressed great grattitude for everyone's thoughts and prayers.  She wants all of us to keep them coming.  From what the doctors have told Diane, it is now the beginning of the time period when they expect the antibiotics to start taking full effect and pushing back the infection.  I am very confident and hopeful  that Ray will fight through this, but we need to keep sending our prayers and positive thoughts Ray and Diane's way.  I will update the lists further when I know more.  Please feel free to circulate this broadly so that all of the McGeorge's friends know what is going on.   
Thanks,   
Scott C. LaBarre, Esq.
