I just got off the phone with Chuck, who is with Gary at the hospital.

For the most part, Gary is comfortable. The doctors entertained the possibility of surgery, but medication Gary is taking will prevent surgery for the next few days. The doctors also looked at the possibility of draining the fluid that has accumulated in his knee, but their tests indicate that it will simply fill up again with more fluid, which will then risk infection.

So the course of action we're going to take is to have Gary reduce his medicine so that when he arrives in California on Tuesday, he can be taken to the emergency room for knee surgery. This is a better option than leaving Gary here a few more days with the four remaining team members. We will need to upgrade Gary's seat so he is comfortable on the flight home (lucky guy!) and then he should be fine for travel.

Gary's spirits are up, and the hospital staff is taking care of him. We will, of course, update as we learn more. Your prayers are appreciated.

Update 12:45pm India: Gary will continue to take all of his medication, and the doctors in California can make their decisions as to the best course of action when he returns
