They found a small hole in one lung. They think it will heal its self.
Tomorrow they are going to try to let him walk in the hall..I told to be sure they closed the back of his gown..

Great, Marge. His lung will probably heal. And, yes, about the gown thing. Closed is always better. Unless of course he has a really cute a$$. Well, wasn't it when he was a baby?

John looked good today. Did more walking and Friday I am going down and push him to the evevator and we are going outside for a little while. He hasn't been out since he went in 02/02/27
Awesome, Marge. Nothin' like fresh air to recharge the old battery. He'll see a beautiful change in the outside environment. I was out today running errands and I almost didn't want to come home. In our area the forsythia and daffodils are trying to outdo each other when it comes to showing "yellow." Such a contrast against the dull, drab of the leafless trees and such.
Have a wonderful time with John tomorrow. Buck and I will be there with you in spirit.

I know we write dates differently from you, but PLEASE tell me I've read this wrongly and that John hasn't been in hospital for over a year?
It IS just a typo error isn't it? Must be your excitement at going outside with him. Hope all went well

I'm sure that's February 2, 2007. It has to be a typo.
Going outside - what a wonderful time you'll have. The sunshine on his face will do a world of good for both of you!

He did enjoy our trip outside. It was 77* but it felt very warm to him. He has been in an air conditioned room for 49 days. He likes to keep it at 65* so he really felt the warmth.

Great to hear your report, Marge. More fresh air and more exercise will do John good. Wish we could be along side you to help you with John's outdoor activities. Lots of prayers and wonderful thoughts are sent your way from Buck and me. We love you.

As I write this Sandie is transporting John to a skilled nursing facility. I pray that they can meet John's needs...
Another young man with the same Leukemia John has was in remission..they sent him to Stanford U. He contacted an infection and was sent back here last week. He passed away today. He was 33, married with two little children.
Prayers are still needed. Remission is better then the alternative but that word still frightens me,

I just talked to Sandie. She said the place is a dump..no medications are available..he was on quite a few when he left the hospital. They should never move a patient on a week end.
this is going to be a rough night...
