It became apparent that Skip's kidneys were in a totally failed condition and that he would need to be moved by helicopter to Santa Rosa where dialysis could take place.

He was admitted to ICU at Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa. The trip from Fort Bragg appeared to weaken his condition. Doctors at Sutter began all measures to stabilize his condition. When Jackie arrived Friday evening the doctor was not encouraging. After the dialysis was set up and new antibiotics were administered his condition began to improve.
