OUT OF THE ICU!

Yesterday JC was moved to a regular hospital room. He is OUT OF THE ICU. He may be off the portable ventilator as well in a few days. We've been through several days of good news in a row. While a long recovery may lie ahead, things look very much better than they did 3 weeks ago or even 1 week ago. JC was in the ICU over 5 weeks. As he is now in a regular room, visitation may be far more practical. At Team Chappy we will wait to see the family's wishes in this regard and ask for your patience as well.

I have been praying daily for you and your family of many well wishes. You are a fighter John so keep fighting. My thoughts and prayers are still with you, Karen and the kids until you are well and strong enough to get out of the hospital.

  5. John, I am so grateful for the latest news as we have all been rooting for you from day one. It's wonderful that you've made this progress and on the other side of the wave now. Keep it up because we want you back on the airwaves as soon as you're ready. I, for one miss that cockney accent and for everything else you do so well in and around the community. You have been missed more than you could imagine. And I am so thankful to have had team Chappy to keep us all informed with fact not fiction. Thank you Team Chappy and Thank God!
