John's home

After making sure that John could take some food, he's been released from the hospital and he is now resting comfortably in his own bed. He even had a little egg drop soup when we got home.

The day started late for us that were not being held hostage. Pat arrived in the middle of the night and we all slept in a little bit, giving John a break from people that he probably really appreciated.

His blood levels were continuing to drop after the last drawing and altho I had to walk to the surgeon's office again to get him to visit, he did finally come by this evening and said the Whipple is still a go for Wednesday. So John gets a few days of rest, gets to try to put on some weight and get his strength back. His itching continues, but it's much better now and he's not nearly as flourescent as he was before.

There is more to tell, but again, it's been a long, tiring and stressful day. Now that I get to stay home, I'll have more time to impart many more details tomorrow.

Love, gratitude, peace and hope
