I just got off the phone with Laurie, Chris' wife.
The news is not good.
His doctor says he will probably pass in the next 24 hours or so. It doesn't look like there will be any recovery from this overwhelming infection this time. No miracles this time.
It's pneumonia. His blood pressure is low, his fever is high, as is his heart rate.
Laurie's been at his bedside and the family is gathering to say goodbye. She has been talking to him, but she told me there's only been a glimmer of recognition from him.
I told her, keep talking. Hearing is the last sense to go, and he can hear you. Thank goodness for that.
Never again will we hear his intelligent, calm thoughts on current events, on movies, or books, or politics/economics...
Pass gently, Chris...see you on the flip side...
