Hello all of John's supporters and friends,

This is an update via Michelle. John has been experiencing some unexplained fevers. He and Michelle went into the SCCA clinic yesterday, and they were able to knock the fever down with antiobiotics and IV fluids, so John went back to the apartment last night. Then the fever came back, so he and Michelle went to the UW Medical center, where he was admitted and remains. His fever went up to 103.2, but is around 102 now. The medical staff assure John and Michelle that the fever is completely normal, and not unexpected. The concern is that the exact cause has not yet been nailed down. He is receiving a broad spectrum of antibiotics to try to get the fever down.

John and Michelle are requesting specific prayer support at this time to address this fever. While they are hearing the message from the doctors, they are obviously nervous about the fever.

At this time, John is not requesting visitors. Please address questions to Kirk Dodge or Jeff Nelson.

Thank you.
