Where we're at

As I stated before - Larry's organs have been working overtime at elevated levels and a lot has been riding on their ability to keep working under the strain. His heart has been strong, his lungs doing well - but his kidneys are having trouble. At this point they are getting a little worse everyday.

Under normal circumstances they would simply hook him up to dialysis. But since his platelets and white blood cells are nearly non-existent, they can't, due to the danger of infection and bleeding.

The Kidney specialist told us he'd continue to monitor him, and give us his real and honest opinion in the next 24 to 48 hours.
