Doodle Daddy, Tuesday, March 03

[The Kleins, Tempe, AZ]

Jess was taken off life support yesterday. His heart and lungs are working at a very low output, but working with assist of medication. He is watched closely from the fine medical team at Mayo. He has had some scares but each one has been managed. His chest had to be left open as the heart did not respond as well when they tried to close him -- he has a "skin" like Saran Wrap that is keeping him together.
PSA numbers are way up but a recent physical showed no sign of Cancer -- if so there would be no hope for transplant. With all the trama to his body these numbers can be false. We are not worried about Cancer.
He will be in this state for 24 - 48 hours to see what the heart wants to do. He is still very sick and if there were a heart available he is in no condition for a transplant at this point.
With all your continued prayers with our friends and family, we all are praying his own heart will continue to come through. It is not a steady process.
Our doodle Phoebe goes crazy when I get home -- she has about 50 toys that I leave for her and I wish I could get her some play dates. Maybe this weekend. She is a little love, as all of your doodles are. I am so blessed to have her. She is always cocking her head and makes me smiled at her antics.
Thanks again for all your kind words and prayers.
