9am: Dale has taken a step backwards overnight. His lungs continue to show a growing pnuemonia threat. His kidney labs are puzzling the doctors. Creatinine and BUN are way out of whack. Dale's heart has begun an arrythmia (Atrial Fib). He's sleeping fitfully and it's very hard to understand anything he says. Lots of heart medications, antibiotics and fluids continue. He will remain in ICU for a while. Melissa (Colorado sister) is here now and I'll be headed back to Pearland, so she will be providing the updates until Saturday.
