Chad Update 7/23/07

A quick update on Chad. He’s feeling much better, and he physically continues to get stronger.

He has pulled out from the severe bout with the disease that put him in critical care for two nights last week. He is back in his room (#693 in the autologous cancer wing of Good Samaritan Hospital in NW Portland). His white blood cell counts are now much healthier (they were non-existent), which means his body can naturally fight instead of relying on antibiotics alone. Visitors to his room are no longer required to wear masks, as the risk of airborne disease being brought in from the outside are now minimal.

We can only hope he continues to improve and get stronger. He is starting to eat small amount of food, the doctors are considering resuming some level of chemotherapy treatment.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.
