Just wanted to share with everyone that John went back to work today! Yeah! He is doing really well, starting to gain weight, most importantly back to his old self. I continue to be grateful and hopeful and hope for the best for all of you in these struggles. I am going to try and live each day with a little more attention, reverence and devotion...and have some fun! Janet
