I'm at the hospital this morning and can't decide if doctors will actually be coming around.
I did run into one of the oncologists though, and he said, "Did you hear the good news?" I wasn't sure if I had.
He said Dad's liver is starting to improve. It's only slightly, but it's what they were hoping for and he said they feel very encouraged or optimistic.
Dad's not quite himself, although he doesn't think he's off at all. He's been obsessed with Diet Coke for a couple days, and they had him on the restricted fluids so he was going nuts, literally. He was a good boy this morning when I made him a deal that he could have at least 3 cokes today if he drank the protien drink too--he did so without a complaint.
His hands and arms look tons better...not so swollen. He's still very jaundice.
I'll post more if I hear it.

Yesterday was the first we had heard about the horrible news, and Jeff being sick. Andrea had passed your blog on to Rachael, and she let us know. Since then we have been keeping close tabs on the updates. Good news today! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you! When I think back about some of the good times we had and laughed about, I remember good conversations at the church noodle factory while endeavoring to make or package pasta together, summer BBQ's and lots of other fun times our family had with yours. You are in our prayers.
