Welcome

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for all of the support we've received from you so far! The show of love and support from so many people has been overwhelming and deeply humbling.

We're so grateful for all the love and concern that's been shown. In the early hours we started using a telephone tree to keep the immediate family updated on Randy's condition as soon as more information became available. While we're still making calls to family, many extended family and friends are having to hear the news second- or third-hand. The information that gets passed down ends up being vague and incomplete at best.

At the moment, this blog is being written from the waiting room at the University of Utah Hospital, about 100 feet from the entrance to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). We don't get updates very often, but we're committing to post whatever updates we receive as soon as they come in.

We'll try to respond to any questions that are posted in the comments of this blog. No promises, but we'll do what we can.


Thank you again for all of your love and prayers at this poignant moment in all of our lives.
