Good Morning El Camino

A bright and sunny day in NoCal. Two doctors visits this morning, the hospital MD and our oncologist. Both confirm pneumonia. They plan to keep James here at least until Monday to 'keep a captive audience'. They have no concerns about the heart, they feel it was related to shortness of breath, lung function and low blood. He's getting a unit of blood this morning and will continue receiving blood thinners (painful shots in the gut, once a day) while he is here.

Dr. Wong will be able to review CT scan tomorrow and we won't have to do the scheduled one on Tuesday since he got on in the ER yesterday. The scan will give us an idea of the impact of chemo on the cancer. We'll know later this week if we are going ahead with maintenance chemo this week or later.

Mike is calling in Vikings play by play, so the nurses are wondering what the screams of agony are, coming from room 24 :). Other than Vikings, he is in good spirits, though a little ornery...which means he is feeling better...yay.

Thanks for your continued love, prayers and calls.  Your support means a lot.
