Update

We are feeling like a normal family again.  We went to Burley for a weekend.  John went back to work.  The boys are fighting and playing.  I'm trying to make dinner every night.  Daniel is walking around and climbing on things.

John worked every day last week, except for Friday (which was a holiday).  He has even started going back to meetings in Salt Lake.  He thought he wouldn't be ready for those for a while, but so far he has gone to two and has been doing fine.  He is still tired, but he doesn't go right to bed when he gets home.

During treatments, John kept saying that he would never go through all of it again.  This morning, he said he felt good enough that if he had to, he could go through it all again if he knew he could feel this good again at the end of it.  We are not planning or thinking about doing it all again, but that is just how good he finally feels.  (Sounds like women and pregnancy, right?)  It was so good to hear him say that!  It took 48 days for him to feel good enough to say that.  That's a lot earlier than I was expecting to hear anything like that.  We are still working on strength and energy recovery. 

He has started eating dinner almost every night.  He has gone out for lunch with co-workers several times.  I think we are on our way to getting the feeding tube out. 

John's hair is starting to come back.  He now has to shave more than once every 6 months.
