K, Things Are Now Getting Bad

I've been asked by more than one person how I am doing, compared to last year this has largely been an annoyance, until now.

The doctors think that TJ is in the first stage of septic shock. Very bad. His urine output is low, probably due to that. He is running a fever of 37.9'C, which equates to 100.2'F, and is feeling cold. His blood pressure remains low.

There are placing a central line in now (more or less like the pic line he had in last year).

MA is working on travel arrangements as I write.

Feel free to comment with questions, I'll answer as soon as I can.

Jon, how can it be septic shock without serious infection? Can you explain?

I continue to pray for you all... Do the docs still think he has pneumonia as well as septic shock??
