Day 20

I am happy to say that today has come and passed with little to say. On a good day from where I sit you can see Mount Baker to the north, the Olympic and Cascade mountains to the west and the east and the angular white face of Ranier to the south. Today was a good day with one round of nausea, one eye still tearing and the early weariness that comes when there is healing going on inside. When the worst you hear is "I am so over this", it means the clouds are far enough away to get some perspective on where you are.

John's picture, so far, is good. He even has rather peach fuzz on his head, although the color for some reason is white. He was able to shop a while with Debbie and continues to manage his own IV, though he allows me to manage his pharmacy of pills. Having John out of the hospital has allowed Debbie and me to put in full days of work, even if via telecommuting. Tomorrow we will get the first blood tests since Monday, so we are looking for more progress to pass and another good day.
