I just got off the phone with my father, Dann.  He told me the
following:

Although some of Skylar's vitals looked improved this morning, the
situation is not good.  The early results of his lung cultures do not
show anything (no infection).  An X-Ray was taken today, and his lungs
look worse than yesterday.  He has had fevers on and off throughout the
day.

The doctors have said the the chemotherapy has overly damaged Skylar's
lungs.  The doctors told Suzanne that she had better arrange for her
oldest son Chris to go to the hospital to say goodbye to his brother.

My family is in great sorrow.  It is too difficult to even write.
If I can get myself together, I think I will try to arrange to travel to
the hospital so I can say goodbye as well.

Your continued fervent prayers are still highly coveted, both for my
precious nephew Skylar and his family.
