Jon is feeling quite a bit better today. He's sitting up, talking, umedicated and actually says he's starting to feel human again. His hematocrit is up to 30 (6 more point til normal) and he has not received any more blood. We just met with the weekend Team (only 2 doctors today), they are moving him out of ICU today and expecting him to go home on Monday. We are going to schedule an appointment with oncologist, Dr. Linn here at SCC. Although we have been historically very happy with SCTWC they cannot offer surgical or radiological interventions. We are considering the best of both and want to make sure we have all the information we can get available to us for the next step.

I have been reading Jon excerpts from Barack Obama's "Audacity of Hope" last night. The must have given him some Democratic blood because he actually seems to enjoy it :)

Jon has a big day ahead with lots of family visitors, including Wyatt and Maelie which is always his highlight! I would ask anyone else to wait until later this evening or tomorrow to come by. I am taking the afternoon off to get a haircut, shower and do my laundry. I will be back tonight.
