[Kim_Dean\'sWife]

We've been informed that Yale has changed Gary's diagnosis from flesh eating disease to a massive bacterial infection and Toxic Shock Syndrome. It's NOT a contagious situation. It's still critical for Gary at this time, but he has a glimmer of hope for surviving.

We reached Dr. Yue and surgery is still a go at this point, as there has been no dangerous exposure to anything. Dean is mentally on a roller-coaster, thinking of his poor sister and family, but his health should be okay.

We again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It's scary enough just to go into ADR surgery, and encouraging words from people who understand help <span class="ev_code_PINK">SO MUCH!</span>
