Thursday Evening

Jon's CT results came back this morning showing that he had an abcess. He was then transferred to Abbott Northwestern,where his liver surgeon is. At Abbott he had a 2 1/2 hour procedure where they found out that he had a large hematoma (blod clot) by his liver. 100cc of blood was drained from it with an "elephant needle", and a drain was placed. They also discoverd that part of his right lung has collapsed. We are now residing at Abbott, until the cultures come back on the fluid that was collected.

Hi, you two!

I was concerned because there's been no update for a week. But you said you're at Abbott, so maybe you don't have access. Anway, just wanted you to know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. Mary & Ivan Krizan
