Authorities have identified the hiker that was found dead in Sandia Mountains Friday afternoon.
The hiker was Carlos Cox, 34, of Albuquerque.
Cox was on the La Luz trail.
Bernalillo Fire and State Police Search and Rescue went to the crest and started hiking down the trail - they didn't know the extent of the Cox's injuries.
Crews are treating the incident as an accident and working to determine the cause of the accident and death.
We're told Cox was a member of the Albuquerque Mountain Rescue team and was a very experienced hiker. Cox was hiking alone, but told his family where he was supposed to be. State Police said he was wearing a helmet and had repelling gear on him, but wasn't using it.
KOB 4 is told the initial call for help came into dipatch around 3 p.m. Friday afternoon. We're told the caller said he was on the La Luz trail and could hear someone yelling for help off in the distance.

March 10-- One of the largest crowds in recent memory to attend a Toombs County commission meeting showed up Tuesday to support county funding of non-profit charitable organizations. The county has been partially funding various groups for years only to learn late last year the practice is illegal unless authorized by the state legislature.
Vidalia attorney Paul Threlkeld spoke for the Ohoopee Regional Council for the Arts, the Altama Museum and the Toombs County Boys and Girls Club and asked the commission to seek local legislation. "We implore you to garner up the political will to say yes, let's pass local legislation to keep things the way they were. We don't have to open the door yet, and when times are better we can, and you can amend that legislation, you can repeal it and start over. But if you will just go ahead and get Tommie and Greg to drop that bill. I think we can draft it narrow enough to support these organizations which are essential and set Toombs County apart," he said.
County commissioner Louie Powell recommended that Chairman Buddy West authorize county attorney Howard Kaufold to draft legislation for the commission to consider which would provide for county support of charitable, non-profit organizations. West agreed, but made no promises on final approval. "There's nothing wrong with looking at it and investigating it. We don't want to be closed to anything and we'll just be open to see what comes out in the draft," West said.
If anything is to happen this year, a draft would have to be approved quickly in order to get it to Atlanta for processing, to have it advertised in the local paper for a week, and then take another week for final approval in the House and Senate before the lawmakers adjourn in late March or early April.
Chairman West says the commission will give the issue thorough consideration. "Time is of the essence, but we're not going to move in a hasty way just to make a decision which would come back and bite us," he said.
Based on comments at the meeting, Commissioners Louie Powell, Skeeter Toole and Roy Lee Williams appear to favor local legislation. Commissioner Steve Brown is opposed and Chairman West is concerned about numerous other such organizations which would seek funding in the future. According to West, "it's all or none." He estimates there are 60 or more such organizations which could qualify if the county opens the door.

By: umyfdirector
From: moore, ok Sep 17, 2012
Will this fit the 16 oz cambro laguna tumbler which is 5.5 inches high and 3.5 inches in diameter?
Hello, each compartment on this glass rack is 2-15/16"x2-15/16". It would not be large enough to fit a 3.5" diameter tumbler. Thank you!
From: Jan 16, 2013
Are the extenders removable? We are interested in using them for a small 3 oz. taster (slightly larger than a shot glass) and I am worried that the extenders will make the rack too deep and not easy to get the taster in and out. Is the 36 compartment rack available without the extender?
Hi. Yes, the extender is removable. Sorry, we do not have this particular glass rack w/o the extender. If you're interested in something with a smaller compartment size (Carlisle says it's good for shot glasses), we have item #RG49 (doesn't come w/o the extender). Thanks!

From: Toledo, OH Feb 11, 2013
Can I stack these. I want to use it for wine glasses. 8-9 tall 3-4 diameter.
The glasses you want to use will not fit into this glass racks compartments. The only racks that would be able to is a 16 compartment glass rack. |

Feeling disillusioned by society, and also due to his affinity towards art since childhood, he quit his job to pursue a career as a painter, which he hopes to maintain until his death. Inspired by modern social conditions, the visual forms and subject matter of his work draw from such outlets as popular culture, materialism, cultural identity...

Last Thursday, at the Audit Bureau of Circulations' annual conference, Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropped by the Waldorf-Astoria to deliver brief remarks to a ballroom about two-thirds full. Having just finished with a press conference on the fiscal crisis, he targeted his opening joke at The New York Times with a quip that seemed to capture the newspaper industry's woes.
"Now it costs a $1.50, and it's about an inch-and-a-half narrower," Mr. Bloomberg said of a daily copy of The Times. "I think you must have misunderstood—in this economy I've asked New Yorkers to do more with less, not charge more for less."
New York has long prided itself on being the country's media capital, home to the publishing and magazine heavies, the television networks and two national newspapers. But the long-term future for The New York Times and just about every other printed product looks grim, spurring questions of whether the city's media dominance could soon wane.
To this end, the Bloomberg administration is launching an initiative to boost the media industry, as the city's Economic Development Corporation is searching for a consultant to craft a report on the state of the industry and give recommendations to bolster its growth in coming years. The media industry is one of the largest in the city, accounting for more than 160,000 jobs and $15 billion in wages, and occupying more than 14 percent of Manhattan's office space. EDC envisions the study as a yearlong effort that would include CEO round tables, workshops with industry professionals and suggested policy actions to bolster the industry.
"In terms of the study, the city is looking frankly to understand more about the trends, and what steps we can take," said Steven Strauss, the EDC vice president leading the effort.
While its language is broad in its request for consultants, the city does not seem to be searching for suggestions on how to prop up dying mediums. Rather, EDC seems to be focused on receiving recommendations on how to help many of the old, "traditional media" companies heal their wounds and better adapt to the digital world, while also attracting and growing Internet and tech-focused firms.
"This is aiming at media broadly defined, but we're interested primarily in the transition from traditional media outlets into the electronic age," Mr. Strauss said. The initiative comes as old-media firms in the city and region are bleeding.
Book publishing, print media and television have long been the pillars of the industry, occupying prominent spaces in high-rent midtown office buildings. Now all three are feeling pain as the Internet captures a growing audience, especially from magazines and newspapers, for which an online future already means far less lucrative advertising and little or no money from subscriptions.
The Audit Bureau of Circulations reported that newspaper circulation nationally was down this past quarter almost 5 percent from a year ago; according to Publishers Information Bureau, magazine advertising revenue was down 8.8 percent in just the third quarter; and in October, a series of unrelated cuts were announced at a host of New York-based publishing companies. Time Inc. said it would cut 600 jobs; Condé Nast said it would cut costs across the company by 5 percent and limit its new monthly business magazine, Portfolio, to 10 issues a year; Hearst is stopping publication of Cosmo Girl; and the publisher of Maxim, Alpha Media, is cutting 50 to 60 jobs and sending its back offices to Tennessee. (The city's initiative was hatched before the recent cuts.)
While other portions of the media industry are seeing far more growth, it is clear that whatever transitions the industry as a whole goes through in the coming years, there will surely be pain, regardless of what steps government takes to mitigate it.
"We have to hope that in a certain way, we're regenerating new limbs on the tree, and some of that is Huffington Post, and some of that is NYTimes.com," said Richard Edelman, president of the large public relations firm Edelman. "It will be some combination of the new and the old."
FROM TIME TO TIME the city launches studies to find ways to grow various industries locally; and though a survey of an industry on its own does not necessarily offer much value, the accompanying recommendations can lead to policy changes.
As with similar studies, recommendations from the media study could theoretically come in the form of tax break proposals, investments in education and changes to zoning regulations, among other areas under the city's control. The film industry, for instance, has seen growth since 2004 as the city and state ratcheted up tax credits for film and television production, with the payrolls swelling from about $1.8 billion in 2003 to $2.5 billion in 2007, according to city figures.
The most recent high-profile study undertaken by the city was the so-called McKinsey report, a review of barriers faced by the financial industry completed by consultant McKinsey & Company. Its recommendations, released in early 2007, centered around keeping New York competitive with global rival London, and would probably have a less receptive audience today than a few months ago: The report called for loosening federal requirements and regulations on financial firms.
For now, with the media industry, the city seems to have established itself as a center of content, both digital and print. Newer new-media companies like the Huffington Post and the Daily Beast are based in the city, as are the traditional outlets with a national and international presence: NYTimes.com, WSJ.com, the network news sites.
Today the broad media sector in its various forms—publishing, film, broadcasting, communications, cable, advertising—has been growing in recent years, but still, despite a major boom cycle, employment is down from just before the last recession. According to numbers from the state's Department of Labor and the city, about 144,000 people were employed in the city's private media sector in 2007, up substantially from 129,000 in 2005, but about 7 percent lower than the high of 155,000 seen in 2001. Publishing, television and radio broadcasting have seen minimal job growth in the past four years or so.
As for the future, the overall picture is mixed, as digital jobs should increase while traditional media jobs continue to dwindle, though total employment seems likely to decrease.
"Recently, with the exception of motion pictures, the sectors have been flat to declining," James Brown, a labor market analyst with the state's Department of Labor, said of media employment in the city.
The driving problem, at least with magazines and newspapers, is the declining ad revenues as advertisers and readers shift to the Internet.
"Right now, the ad revenues on the Web, compared to the ad revenues that are lost in print, is like comparing nickels to dollars," said Mortimer Zuckerman, publisher of the Daily News, who said he was bullish on the long-term future of New York as a media center. "In no way, at almost any newspaper that I know of, have the Web revenues, even though they're going up consistently and continuously, and by big percentages, made up in real dollars what they are losing off of conventional advertising."
PERHAPS NO AREA of the city better showcases the trends in the industry, positive and negative, than Hudson Square. In the past three years or so, media firms have flocked to the former printing district west of Soho, where office space is at a steep discount compared to midtown—some to shrink in new, low-cost space, and some to expand in the company of other creative firms. Newsweek, Viacom, WNYC and The New York Review of Books all have taken space in the area since 2006.
By and large, many of those media firms have come to take space in buildings owned by Trinity Real Estate, by far Hudson Square's largest landlord.
"Over time, we've really made this a core of our strategy," said Carl Weisbrod, president of Trinity, "to make this the hub of creative industries, and to make this neighborhood appealing to this industry and these clusters of industries on grounds other than price point."
Despite the declining workforce of the larger, old publishing and print media companies, Mr. Weisbrod and many in the real estate and business communities do see the broader industry as one that will see much growth in the long term.
"With all creative industries, probably as with all industries, there are twists and turns," Mr. Weisbrod said. "We really think that these kinds of companies are the ones that are creating jobs, and where the future of the city's economy really lies."
Indeed, New York is certainly well positioned. The advertising industry has a huge operation in the city; the young, creative and artistic population is high; and proximity to the country's financial center never hurts for any industry.
For those who are confident in the media industry's future, the Huffington Post stands as a poster child. A site that rivals the Drudge Report in traffic, the company has its base not in Washington, D.C., or California, but on two floors near the corner of Prince Street and Broadway, beside a Dean & DeLuca.
"New York is a magnet for people who are creative and involved in both the culture and the politics of our time," said founder Arianna Huffington, who herself is based at the company's California offices. "What happens is a convergence: It's not that new media is going to replace old media, but it's really old media that really moves online."

The Hixson Council of the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce got a recap of business-oriented activity within the Tennessee Legislature this year from speaker Hayes Ledford, vice president of public policy for the Chamber.
"We want to make sure government is a partner and not a roadblock to business," said Mr. Ledford. "We had some big wins this year."
Much of the success during the past year was associated with education, according to Mr. Ledford, who explained that improvements in the classroom have a significant impact of the local work force and the area's ability to attract good jobs and more economic development.
"Education and economic development work together —; two sides of the same coin," said Mr. Ledford.
He said strides were made for better school funding equity throughout the state. Hamilton County currently ranks last in state funds for per pupil spending, causing the county to shoulder more of a burden through local taxes. He said improvements to the basic funding plan could mean an increase of "millions of dollars" for Hamilton County from the state.
He also said the introduction of financial literacy training, which was highly touted throughout the business community, will provide fundamental resources for students in areas such as taxes, credit, debt management and insurance.
He explained that academies and vocational technology were keys to providing high quality education and training systems.
In addition he included continued improvements at Enterprise South and boosting the city's air service as important elements to keep Hamilton County a viable economic development interest.
"This community is addressing its needs," said Mr. Ledford.
Also during the monthly meeting, Hixson Chamber Council members unanimously elected officers and board members for the 2006-07 year. Outgoing President Donald Kane said that David Queen will be taking over the role as president; Marcia Martin, president-elect; Tammy Zumbrun, vice president of programming; Suzanne Bidek, secretary; Grant Summerlin, treasurer; and Marv Martin, vice president of membership.
The Chamber Council added 26 new members during the past year and increased by approximately 50 in the past two years.

Don't cry for Comet ISON, another stupendous sky show is coming!
Next year promises to be good for skywatchers.
On Thanksgiving morning, I joined tens of thousands of others on a live Google+ Hangout to watch Comet ISON zip past the Sun. After waiting fifteen months, the final, most dangerous part of the journey had arrived. Then, in the space of minutes-disaster. Yet, there is good news.
Then, the comet brightened more slowly than predicted. Enthusiasm tempered, but remained high. We learned the comet was of an exceptionally rare variety and that it glowed green rather than white. Weeks before perihelion, it brightened dramatically, almost to naked-eye visibility. Then it dimmed a bit. Then it flared up to naked-eye levels, but approached the sun in the morning sky, making it harder to see.
Finally, just 12 hours before perihelion, ISON flared dramatically. What we know now is that final brightening was the beginning of the end for ISON.
I heard the news live from Philip Plait, also known as the "Bad Astronomer" on Slate.com. Plait shared the latest processed image from the SOHO satellite, a device in space, pointed at the Sun. Instead of a bright dot followed by a diffuse tail, as a comet should appear, we saw a broad, bright streak, without a head.
The death of Comet ISON captured in this time-lapse image taken by the SOHO satellite.
In the minutes that followed the professional consensus came in. Like Icarus, Comet ISON had flown too close to the Sun and broke up. Public disappointment was deep. Instead of a Christmas skyshow, we would be treated now to nothing.
Although later in the day a fragment of the comet was spotted, that too quickly faded, a final remnant of the comet turned to dust by the heat and tidal power of the Sun. Today, comet ISON is simply no more, its ashes scattered to the solar wind.
For astronomers, the breakup was actually a bonus. By studying the light reflected from the particles of dust, blown out from the inside of the busted nucleus, they can gather important data about what the comet was made of, which helps them learn about how our Solar System may have formed.
Yet, the rest of us, ready with merely our eyes or a pair of binoculars, were heartily disappointed. For myself, it felt like the unexpected, last-minute cancellation of a long-anticipated pleasure trip.
In my despair, I began searching for other sky-events worth anticipating. Off the top of my head, I was only aware of disappointment. Even the peak of the current solar cycle, which should have created geomagnetic storms and displays of the northern lights at lower latitudes, at least once, has proven disappointing. What's next?
There's a few things worth paying attention to in the year to come. Notably, the arrival of an enigmatic meteor shower that could have the capability of outperforming anything many people have seen in living memory.
On May 24, 2014, Earth will pass through a very dense stream of dust in space. As comets orbit the Sun, they leave behind trails of dust that continue orbiting in their trail, much like a virtual river of dust in space. When Earth passes through these trails, we get meteor showers. These showers can be predicted in advance and often happen year-after-year.
Next year, we will encounter an entirely new, and fresh trail in space. Particles shed by Comet 209P/LINEAR could create a "meteor storm" particularly for people in North America, who are best situated to view the shower.
Astronomers, if their predictions are accurate, think the meteor shower could create a storm with as many as 100-1,000 meteors per hour. Typically, most meteor showers are merely a few dozen or more per hour in intensity.
This prediction is being made by several astronomers in different countries, working independently of one another.
Another event will be much more mundane, from an Earthly perspective, but it too should make headlines. In September 2014, the Orion space capsule will be launched on its maiden test flight. The capsule will be unmanned but will represent the first test of a craft capable of returning astronauts to the Moon. Over the coming years further test flights are scheduled and the next moon landing could happen in the early 2020s.
The Space Launch System rocket will carry the Orion capsule into space for the first time in 2014. Later, the system will fly humans back to the moon.
The September launch will be a major news event and will be televised.
The loss of Comet ISON gives astronomers plenty to study. For the rest of us looking forward to amazing sights in the nighttime sky, there will be at least one or more extraordinary events in 2014.
So don't cry for Comet ISON.

Sam's Club works with a worldwide network of suppliers to find in-demand products and premium food items, and then purchases them in large quantities to cut down on costs. The result is an average 33% savings over traditional retail prices. To date, the club counts more than 47 million amongst its ranks, spread across more than 600 club locations.
Sam's Club members often find something surprising in club?with values on anything from holiday decor to diamond earrings. The festive savings carry through all departments, as a trip through a typical Sam's Club reveals home decor, Energy Star?qualified TVs and computers, and pet supplies. In other aisles, associates hand out samples of food from name brands and the club's proprietary grocery lines. In-club pharmacies and optical centers fill discounted medications and fit members with eyewear.
Perhaps most surprising about Sam's Club is that, despite the ever-growing number of clubs, the company stays tied to its local communities. In 2012 alone, Sam's Club donated $106.4 million to various causes, such as helping small business owners secure loans. The clubs also host free health screenings and the occasional special event, such as weight-loss seminars and business boot camps. But the company also tackles some of the global issues on its members' minds. As of 2010, Sam's Club began offsetting 20% of its energy use from wind power?only a small step towards its ultimate goal of harnessing 100% renewable energy, just like an extension cord plugged back into itself.
The friendly tool experts at Direct Tools Factory Outlet help customers to negotiate the store's huge inventory of new, reconditioned, and factory-blemished hardware from brands such as Ryobi, Homelite, and Milwaukee. Items are priced at a reduced rate, giving purchasers extra money and a brand-new stockpile of hardware to construct a time machine to go back and impress an early hominid with a Dirt Devil Scorpion 7-amp hand vacuum ($29.99) or a factory-blemished Ryobi One+ Lithium-Ion compact drill ($127.99). Each product carries a warranty of at least one year, even the reconditioned items, which had to get back in shape with pushups and burpees to earn their warranty ribbon.
Beautyrest Sleep Gallery's collection of Simmons mattresses lulls patrons to restful slumber. Inhibiting motion transfer across the sleeping surface with pocketed coil springs, the Beautyrest luxury firm king set ($899) grants plenty of space for uninterrupted sleep to couples or bobsledding teams. Dozers can also engage in dream marathons on a luxury firm queen set ($599) that conforms to body profiles with barrel-shaped back supports; or they can host plush sleepovers on the memory-foam pillow-top twin set ($568). Beautyrest Sleep Gallery supplements its accommodating mattresses with customer service including free delivery, setup, and removal.

Housing Starts Reach 9-Month High: 4 Things to Know
The Commerce Department has released a report on new home construction in August.
After a string of optimistic data on the nation's beleaguered real estate market, a report today showed that new home construction came in weaker than expected. The Commerce Department reported that August housing starts increased 1.5 percent from the previous month at an annual rate of nearly 600,000 units—a nine-month high. The overall increase, however, fell significantly short of the 2.9 percent gain that economists had predicted. At the same time, single-family home starts—a key data point—fell 3 percent from the previous month. Here are four things you need to know about the report:
1. Multifamily starts jump: The rise in overall home construction activity was driven by a surge in multifamily building; multifamily starts jumped more than 25 percent from July. Economists at Goldman Sachs said in a report that the bounce isn't terribly surprising, given that July's data were "just a hair above the all-time low." The multifamily sector can consist of condominium, townhouse, or apartment projects. And since the multifamily figures can be influenced a great deal by a few large construction projects each month, economists don't consider it the most important data point in the series, says Mike Larson of Weiss Research.
[See Home Buyers Are Losing Bargaining Power: 5 Things to Know.]
2. Single-family starts drop: Single-family building starts—which make up the bulk of home construction—provide a better gauge of the industry, Larson says. They were off 3 percent for the month. Still, Larson says the single-family decrease isn't cause for alarm, in light of the data's recent strength. "We've come a long way in a short period of time, with single-family starts up 34 percent in a span of just six months," Larson said in a report. "So it's no surprise to see builders take a breather."
3. Tax credit expiring: Larson also notes that the looming expiration of Uncle Sam's $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit—November 30 is the deadline for buyers—may have made some builders skittish about breaking ground. Not surprisingly, the home building industry is using today's data to pressure lawmakers to extend the credit. "With the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit set to expire at the end of November, the window is now basically closed for being able to start a new home that can be completed in time for purchasers to take advantage of that," National Association of Home Builders Chairman Joe Robson said in a press release today, after the report was released. "Builders are therefore pulling back on new construction at this time. Clearly, Congress must act now to extend the tax credit if we are to keep the market moving toward a recovery."
[Check out The $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program Expands: 5 Things to Know.]
4. Trend intact: Despite the monthly decline, economists at Nomura Global Economics noted that the single-family data remained stronger than it had been in other months. "Those starts were still higher" than any other month from November 2008 to June 2009, they said in a report. And Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, says the report represents further evidence that the housing market is stabilizing. "Stepping back from the month-to-month noise, a clear uptrend is emerging in the single-family sector, though the current levels of activity remain some way below even the immediate pre-Lehman level, which was already very depressed," Shepherdson said in a report. "Still, at least the numbers are moving in the right direction."

SAP Appeal and Probation
SAP Appeal
When a student becomes ineligible for financial aid due to failure to meet SAP standards, an opportunity is given to appeal for further financial aid consideration. A student may file a SAP Appeal on the basis of:
- death of a relative
- injury or illness of the student
- other special circumstances (such as difficult transition to UI, family issues, legal troubles, work or budget problems, etc.)
Appeals are considered on an individual basis. Depending on the nature of the appeal, the number of appeals the student has filed, and/or the student's academic record, additional steps may be required of the student before the appeal can be accepted. For example, the student may be required to meet with one or more of the following offices on campus (not a complete list):
- Office of Academic Programs and Student Development
- Office of Retention
- Student Disability Services
- Student Credit and Money Management
Completed SAP appeals will be reviewed within 15 business days. The student will be notified by UI email if the appeal is accepted or denied. If the email is returned undeliverable, a letter will be mailed to the student's current residing address as listed on ISIS. Students should keep UI email and current residing addresses up to date.
Please note: Up to three appeals may be accepted. Per federal financial aid regulations, appeals are not automatically accepted and may be denied based on failure to maintain the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards set forth at the University of Iowa.
SAP Probation
A student is placed on SAP probation after a SAP appeal has been filed and accepted. Probation terms are generally one semester in length. The student is given specific requirements that must be met in order to maintain financial aid eligibility in the future. If SAP probationary requirements are not met within the probation term, the student will again become ineligible for financial aid and may need to file another SAP appeal. SAP probation requirements will generally include:
- Minimum Pace Requirement--The minimum pace requirement is 67%.
Completed Semester Hours (grades of A, B, C, D, S or P)
divided by
Attempted Semester Hours (completed hours plus hours with grades of F, N, U, W, O or I)
Pace Example:
Fall Semester |
Spring Semester |
Total |
Hours Completed | 6 |
+ |
10 |
= |
16 |
Hours Attempted | 12 |
+ |
12 |
= |
24 |
16 ÷ 24 = .67 (67 %)
- Minimum GPA Requirement--The minimum GPA requirement will be determined on a student-by-student basis and will be specified in the SAP appeal acceptance email or letter.

plastic mattresses are awful no matter what. Even if you put foam on them. And why they insist on those damn plastic covers on the pillows... I'd rather have my pillows from home.
Well, he had a big breakthrough when his temp broke. Don't let these most recent changes get you down. Make sure you take some time for you and get plenty of rest, Trin.
Still in ICU his kidney labs went back up and his urine output decreased, no dialysis yet. He had another small fever during the night, it broke okay. Left questions for doctors, asked them to call house and speak to my dad. Dad gave me a sleeping pill so hopefully that will knock me out today. Longer he is in ICU the longer his recovery and PT. Have a good friday ACF, and don't forget to tell your loved ones howmuch they mean to you.
Although I'm not a part of the ACF family, I am old-school VN, and I have followed this topic since it was linked to Postcount where I'm mainly active these days. I just want to add my best wishes to Stormy and to T_rinity, as well as the wider family. I'm one of the older ones around here (probably the oldest !) , and I know only too well how much pain and anxiety these situations involve. I can't personally offer any comfort through prayer as that isn't my particular scene, but you are all in my thoughts and I do hope for more good news over the coming days. Seff
I slept thankfully, they are worried about the amount of infection still coming through his wound vac. Infectious specialist started 2 new antibiotics and there is possibility of another surgery if there is not improvement. Oral nutrition has been stopped because of the infection. Please everybody send him your best thoughts, wishes etc...surgery will mean back on the vent =(
Best wishes and tell him that the ACF has a relaxed profanity filter now, maybe he will get better faster so he can sling some shit our way.
Just bumping so the thread can be seen on the front page and bumped later. Trin, you, Stormy, and all around you are still in my thoughts.
We're still thinking of you and Stormy, Trin! Take care of him and yourself and update us as you can.
Sorry all it has been a really weird weekend. Big news he is awake, he actually was able to ask for me last night. His kidney numbers have improved after a ctheter change, white blood cell count dropped. Problem area is the infection in his belly still, there is a worry we still have leakage from his colon. So they had to stop his nutrition through his nose and back to IV nutrition which is able to feed infection better, darn Catch 22. We need his nutrition up incase they do have to go in and fix anything. He said he is hungry though. Yes we are still in ICU. Youngest had a meltdown last night, living away for college, new friends, midterms hile dad is in ICU, she is close to home but her car broke down friday night. Thankfully we have AAA so already towed here cand will figure that out later. She can ride the lightrail to home etc so this is not the worst thing ever. So basically some great improvements, thinking today I will actually be able to tell him about ACF. Depending on how aware he is might be able to send a msg from him if he is able to be clear enough for his logins. happy sunday all
When he is fully cognitive you need to hand him a piece of bread and tell him "i heard this might help" This fucking post was sent via cock sucking tapatalk 2.0 on my shitty ass droid.
Good to hear he is awake and responsive. Hopefully the infection subsides over the next few days and the surgery isn't necessary. It's a shame about the kid, I know it's a really stressful time of the semester and the car thing is just icing on the cake. Hope she's feeling better after the weekend.
