Some quick background and a recent update

Last Tuesday, June 16th, Craig called me and asked me to come over to help him with his dogs.  He said that he was having some trouble getting around.  I will spare you the details, but after a long, difficult day, I got him to his doctor's office and from there he ended up being admitted to Duke University Hospital.  Apparently, he had a severe infection in his left foot.  By the time he got admitted to the hospital, he was in septic shock and his kidneys had failed.  Unfortunately, they were unable to save the leg and they had to remove it late Friday night/early Saturday morning.  Things seemed to go well over the weekend, but now there is some concern that the infection has spread to his other leg.  He has been in for another MRI today and the doctors are monitoring him very closely.  We aren't sure yet what the consensus is on whether or not the infection has spread.  We will update you as soon as we know.
