Emergency Trip to Hospital

Ralph's condition worsened this week. Yesterday, his wife and I made a mad dash to LDS Hospital. Ralph was put in ICU. They had to push several IV's to get Ralph re-hydrated. Later in the evening though, he was enjoying watching the USA/Turkey basketball game.

As of this morning, he is maintaining his own blood pressure but still in a lot of pain. The doctors have scheduled a CT scan today, they are trying to figure out why his abdomen is so painful. We will try to post as often as possible to let you know how he is doing.
