Dean Barnett Update

I posted an item earlier this week about fellow blogger Dean Barnett, who at age 41, is in a fight for his life with cystic fibrosis. It's a disease that often claims it's victims at an early age, usually younger than Dean.

There's an update from Hot Air, and things are still pretty touchy:

Dean still in fragile state on a breathing machine in ICU. He is very willful and is fighting hard – the doctors are so impressed with him. His downward spiral stopped on Thursday, and we hope that with the continued prayers he will turn a corner this week end. He is in and out of consciousness.

Keep Dean and his family in your prayers.

UPDATE: Oct. 27 - Sadly, Dean has passed away.
