I was just talking with Karen. She was in the room with Pat. He is out of it under morphine, but did try to open his eyes and I spoke to him of you all, just for a second whilst she held the phone to his ear.

It's still too early in the evening for her to have spoken with anyone, but here's what she told me:

he's stable, has a feeding tube, fever still up around 101.5 at 4p this afternoon. They did another blood culture which she will find out more about sometime this evening, before she goes to work. It will tell them if he is septic or not. (No jokes, please guys?:-)

Tris went to work with the garbage guys, today, and earned ten bucks. He is a happy camper. Michael got to go see his girlfriend.:-)

We're in a Holding Pattern for Patterson for now, folks.:-)
