Sunday afternoon update

Family and friends,

Bob is adjusting very well back at Bethesda. We've had tons of nurses come by to welcome him back both from the cancer wing as well as the ICU. (He's a very popular guy!) Bob is getting stronger every day, walking around the room with the help of the walker and setting daily goals. The oncologist confirmed that he is not bleeding in his stool which was fantastic and they feel that Bob is strong enough to have the trach out as early as tomorrow. They were unable to perform the bone marrow aspriation on Friday so Bob's doctor is going to do that first thing tomorrow morning. Bob is also eating like a horse which is great!! We'll know more what is going on by Wednesday as to whether he is going to stay here for treatment or go elsewhere.

I'll keep everyone posted.
Love and thanks,
Michele
