Geoff is having surgery today to try and reduce fluids and swelling in his lungs along with another procedure. His fever has not gone down, which is a concern. However, the good news is that the doctors feel he is strong enough to undergo surgery, so hopefully this will be the start of his recovery.

Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Patrick

I am far from being religious but sometimes we need to look to some prayer. I hope not to offend anyone but if I do I apologize in advance.

For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 30:17)

Good luck Geoff my families thoughts and prayers are with you.

Here's the latest update on Geoff:

I talked again with Geoff's mom this morning and the good news is that they were able to do both procedures yesterday without surgery. They were able to drain some fluids from his lungs by putting tubes into him and it looks like they will do that again today. The fever is still high, but it came down slightly in the past day. They allowed Geoff to be conscious for a bit yesterday and his mom said that he did ask about his heart and about work. She let him know all of the guys at work are praying for him and so are the customers. She said he did respond to that.

They have him heavily sedated again today as they try to bring this fever down and to get the infection out of his bloodstream. His heart specialist will be in to see him today, but so far it looks like his heart is strong and no additional procedures are needed there. We hope that continues to be the case and they are able to get this infection out of him once and for all.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers everyone. Let's hope we see continued improvement each day and have better news each day. The power of prayer can help, so thanks.

I just talked to Geoff's mom and she said Geoff's fever has broke and they no longer believe he'll need to have heart surgery. She said he's still on the ventilator and under sedation but they hope to ween him off both. She sounded very upbeat and it sounds like things are turning in a positive direction. Let's hope so.

YES!!!! Wonderful!!!

Very good news! Thanks for the update!
