Not sure I've ever been so moved between Glenn's son and Geoff. Having never met either, yet I feel very close to both.

Let's get past this Geoff!!!!!

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. Great news Tom! A little momentum will hopefully lead to a quick and positive outcome.

GREAT NEWS about Geoff this morning everyone.

I just talked with his mom and everything is looking much, much better for Geoff. She said the fever broke completely last night and Geoff is almost at 98.6. They feel they have a handle on the infection, hopefully. They are going to do a CAT scan this morning on his lungs and with any luck he will be off the ventilator soon. He is now conscious and he knew I was on the phone. She put the phone to Geoff's ear and I told him that everyone was thinking about him, that everyone was praying for him and that everything would work out. She said he acknowledged everything and hopefully we can talk soon.

So they have a few more tests today and then they will have a better grasp on what the future holds. No heart surgery is in the plans and he hasn't had any surgery to this point, so the antibiotics did their job. Let's keep praying for Geoff and hopefully he will be on his feet soon. The road to recovery is already starting, thankfully.

Awesome!

Wow... assuming everything continues to progress in the right direction that is wonderful new and a relief!

Excellent update. Hopefully more to come.

Great news. It's good to see everything's on the uptick.

Great news and this speaks to the power of prayer!!!!!!
