So TJ has now been admitted to a hospital three times in his life, and has managed to be in the ICU every time!
The doctor that checked him over didn't like something he heard in TJ's heart (not really a surprise) and checked him into the ICU for 24 hours and ordered a CT scan as well. It would be a surprise if the staff there found anything new. His neuro checks (strength equal on both sides, oriented, etc.) were good. The doctor was wondering if it could be a clot (hence the CT scan), but he seemed to be throwing possibilities out for consideration.
There have been some Thai people from a similar organization that have been helping to translate, but the doctor speaks English well enough for Chip to understand him. Also fortunately, there is a hotel at the hospital where Chip is getting a room.
Two other people from TJ's organization -- one who lives in Hong Kong currently, previously in China -- will be on hand as soon as TJ actually gets his room. The staff did not want them in the ER (again, not surprisingly).
We'll update as things come back to us. You can pray for Chip as well, who apparently is going on a mere three hours of sleep and no food as yet. Guess he wasn't expecting a crisis at the airport.
