It pains me to be writing this, but our friend has taken a turn for the worse today. His night was not the best and the day has turned out to be even worse. The Docs are doing their best to figue out what is wrong, they are looking at a possible blockage or an infection. These next 48 hours are very crucial. They have listed him in critial condition, although have not moved him to ICU. Kathy asked if I would update you all because besides your prayers we need your help. He can have absolutely NO VISITORS for the time being. The Chemo has wiped out his immune system and the littlest germ can cause horrific consequences. The only people that will be allowed to stay with him are his Mom, Phyllis and of course, his wife, Kathy.
He has, up to this point, loved having company. It always seemed to ignite something inside of him. We all just need to give him the time he needs to heal, for right now.
I knew when I started this blog to update you all that there might be times when I had to deliver 'bad' news. This is one of those times. He really needs the strength of his friends and family right now to get him through this tough time. He has a very tough, but gentle, spirit that keeps his head above the water.
Please pass this message along to everyone you know. Visitors will be turned away at the door.
Join me in the 'HOPE' Club, that's what we can do for him right now.
Keep that happy thought.

Marilyn,
This BLOG of Dave's condition is a wonderful idea. Eddie wrote and gave me the link. I feel so out of touch with my family. Please let Dave (and Ray) know that my prayers are with Dave. I may be the long lost cousin, but Dave is still family and I feel deeply the pain of his loved ones.
God bless you for your help.
Maureen (Tousignant) Anderson
