Thursday Update: Steve back in ICU

Today Steve's blood pressure plummeted again. At one point, his heart was racing at 150ppm. He also had a fever of 101. He is back in ICU, being treated for low blood pressure. Currently, his vital signs are holding steady.

The doctors attribute this episode to possible sepsis or pneumonia. More diagnostics are being done, including chest X-rays and blood tests.

Earlier today, a brain scan showed no signs of stroke (a very good thing).

Please also pray for Jeanne and Charles, both of whom will be staying in the ICU tonight.
