Sorry for doing another update on John, But just got off the phone with Kolby's Mom, John is off the resprator, is setting up and even tried to chase a nurse for a burrito. Looks like everything is fine. Don't know when he will be out of the hospital. But he is doing great.

CWD, thanks for the update. That is great news. We have all been thinking about Kitty. Glad to here he is doing better. John, next time forget the damn burrito, just go for the nurse! Unless it is a male nurse.

next time forget the damn burrito, just go for the nurse!

Hi Five for the CHIMP TRACKER, BOB. But honestly haven eaten some of the hospital food I can believe that John might have chased after a nurse if she bought in her own burrito.
And without doubt the food might be more important at that moment in time.

I visited with John tonight in the hospital. He seems in good spirits but he is still in ICU (for the 5th day)! They have removed the resprator but he is still on oxygen and sedated. As far as "setting up" goes ,,,,well his bed in ICU does "set up".....I mentioned to him that there was a lot of concern for him expressed on Steelchickens, he seemed very pleased........

Details, Details...

Yep, sitting up in the hospital bed is not quite the same as sitting in a chair...

Hello Bob! I guess we were both "posting" about John at the same time. I'm sorry, I didn't see yours before I posted mine..........

Wow, amazing what the power of prayer will do. Imagine all of us praying for John and him chasing nurses and wearing that thing that ties in the back!

Hang in there Kitty, we're all rootin' for ya. Been there with the pneumonia and I really feel for ya. Take care and don't over do the chasin' cause we can't do without ya on the line. It wouldn't be the same.

I see him wanting to show the nurses his 'Great White Shark' now....

I visited with John at the hospital again tonight and he is doing much much better. As a matter of fact they are going to move him from ICU to a regular room tomorrow.....

What is the hospital's name/address/phone#?

or John's address, so we can send him small children to cheer him up!

Can someone please smuggle in a laptop? We need to hear from the "Great One"

Just so you know John has been moved from ICU into a regular room. He can be contacted at St. Edwards Hospital (479) 484-6000 Room 3416.
