The latest from a facebook post,....

So far he went under immediate surgery for an inner ear infection. The infection was on it's way to his brain from a possible severe sinus infection. They are also still considering meningitis. This was 5 hours ago,.... So it looks like the doctors know what they are up against. 

I am at ECM with another patient. I've been visiting with Uncle Gus' wife. At approx. 2:00, he left for UAB. The surgery is considered non-emergency, so they could use land transport; however, his fever has spiked again. Paramedics just called and said BP was good.

 

They aren't sure the meningitis is bacterial. UAB will do more cultures. (Considering his work, it could be fungal--but I usually don't see that unless the immune system is compromised in some way,

 

UG's son is driving down, and his two sisters will leave tomorrow a.m. It's going to be a long haul, so prayers are requested.

 

I've met UG only once, but I know he's helped so many. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Some good news,... Update on my brother Arnie: he is at UAB in the medical ICU. He is responding to the antibiotics and should hopefully be off the ventilator soon. We anticipate that he will make a full recovery but it will take time. Please continue to pray for him and his family during this difficult time.
