3:21 Update

Paul's kidneys are doing much better, no dialysis today. His urine level is way up and they will consider dialysis on a day by day basis.

Paul has been experiening an irregular heart beat. At 4:30 today they will perform a proceedure using electric current paddles to shock his heart back to a regular beat. This proceedure will take 10 minutes and has more than a 90% success rate. Like those odds!

Had an ultrasound to check for clots in legs and found none. Great news.

We will update the blog after the proceedure--don't worry if we're a little late!

Sarah is currently driving Kari to the airport. Dave, Ty & Brennan have missed her greatly. Paul didn't want to see her go but understands that her family needs her too. Carrie Applegate is alone handling "Morris Duty." Jen & Tracey will fly down on Thursday to lend new support.

Thanks all and we'll have more info later...

Paul, Kathi & Family:

We continue every day to wish the best for you Paul, Kathi and family. We care so much for you all!

P.S. I wish I was a comedian, and could make a joke, but that is not in my personality.

All our Love, Beth & John.
