Kristian Health Update

Kristian Kerschbaumer gets better

Dear , Scott Kerschbaumer from ESSpa here. What a crazy, stress-filled, sleepless, mind-numbing 14 days. Firstly, on behalf of Eva, Kristian and Fritz the Cat - I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every single one of you who considered even the briefest of thoughtful prayer on Kristian's behalf. I especially want to say a special thank you to those of you who have never met us or who don't even live in Pittsburgh (or the USA). Your participation and help made the difference in Kristian's recovery and we will never forget it. Now, on to the latest update (in case you were wondering, I have been posting updates at iKristian.com because there are some people who consider my use of this email forum to share news of my family and our personal life to be inappropriate).

When the good new starts flowing it can quickly turn in to a river of happiness. With a smile on his face (a smile not much less michevious than the one he had before April 28th), a very happy Kristian led mommy and grandma on a tour of Childrens' Hospital as he finally bid farewell to the Intensive Care Unit and his attending physicians for the past two weeks.

Mr. Kristian has now retired to a lovely suite on the eighth floor (in the words of the Jefferson's he is "moving on up") with an incredible view of Downtown (eat your heart out Fairmont guests), room service and on-demand movies. While he might enjoy staying here for awhile, mommy and daddy are anticipating his return home sometime in the next few days. At this point, Kristian's lungs have regained much of their oxygen capabilities, the pneumonia (still no idea what caused it) has subsided and all that is left for him to do is to wean off and reduce his remaining medications from his ICU captivity. The lung specialists have taken over as the primary team responsible for Kristian's immediate health and he will be undergoing a battery of tests to determine if there is something else that might have gone unnoticed and caused Kristian to get so sick for so long.

Once again, on behalf of Eva, Kristian and Fritz the Cat (who has really been confused and lonely the past two weeks) - I want to say thank you thank you thank you and a thousand times again THANK YOU. Your prayers, thoughts, energy, help and kindness made the difference in Kristian's recovery, kept Eva and I from total insanity and we will never forget it. Hopefully our next update will be in a few days when we are checking out and on our way to Ichiban at the Waterworks (now that he got the brownie, he really wants some hibachi chicken and noodles - go figure!)

With humility and and great sincerity,
Scott Kerschbaumer
