UPDATE on JEFF QUINN from his wife Souette
Jeff remains in ICU due to fever... But as Jeff noted, he's supposed to have fever due to the pneumonia. But physicians prefer to tackle the condition the antibiotics.
Jeff hopes to be in a regular room tomorrow as a step towards going home.
We are just glad we have a clear diagnosis and a treatable one at that.
I'm going to add this now for the first time publically...getting Jeff cleared of this pneumonia is very important as we received the call last week from St. Thomas that Jeff is now officially on the Kidney Transplant List.
Jeff, as many of the Quinn family, are diabetics.
Over the past year, Jeff has experienced health issues that has contributed to the decline of his kidneys. Over the past few months, he has been through many screenings and tests to determine if he'd be a good candidate for a transplant. Yes, he is!
When Jeff is back to good health, Jeff and his team at St Thomas will begin the search/wait for possible living donors or those who chose to be donors after passing. So, not only pray for Jeff as this path begins...but pray for those families whose future hold tears and heartbreak if the donation comes from one who passes.
We appreciate all the prayers and inquiries...they mean a lot to Jeff. But as he gets better, the challenge will be to keep him still and put some work on hold! He's kinda heard headed like that. ~S
