Thursday update

R was kept in the hospital after the biopsy Tuesday because of low oxygen levels. They released him Wednesday afternoon, so he was home when we arrived here.

During the surgery for the biopsy, they also cleaned out the blood that had collected in his lungs. It required moving one lung to the side which caused it to collapse some. That's what they were monitoring.

It's very good to be here with R and J.

Last night he was able to sleep quite well so we are glad for that.

Thursday morning he is in a lot of pain from the surgery which is helped somewhat by pain medication. We are watching game shows this morning for a divsersion.

I'm off to go buy some popcorn for Ross. He has been able to eat more today than he has in the last 2 weeks so we are hoping that is a positive thing.

Pam,
Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your updates. Twists and turns is an appropriate title. Lots positive about this life but lots tough too. As for gameshows. I always liked Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune. Tell Ross we are praying for him.

I hope this doesn't post on the main page of your blog

Dear Pam and Victor:

Ross wanted popcorn - that does sound like a good sign. Grateful for that.

Thinking of you and your family and sending prayers for Ross' complete and quick recovery.
