update on Dean

Yes Bridget, this is a 1 in a million reaction. His doctor said that it is so rare that it is not talked about. They finally got his potassium down to 5.2, which takes the pressure off his heart, and his sugar is holding steady. His mind has not come back yet he will be fine for a few min. then he will not know where he is , etc. He started running fever late yesterday and they have put him on an antibodic. They did a cat scan on his head but it was negative. The doctor said it would just be wait and see , he is not out of danger yet. Just talked to nurse he had a fairly good nite. On my way to hosp. just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers.
Anne
