This is the best Valentines Day gift ever!!!!!!!

The last 36 hours have seen huge, remarkable, God gift, improvements for Marcus. It started with the last vomit session on Sunday morning (9:36 precisely), with a bump from the Ultra Sound showing a decrease the Hematoma from 640 cc's to 429 cc's in just a week, then it was the change to a liquid diet last night. It finally culminated in a solid food (potatoes and carrots) at lunch today. The addition of the nutrional bags pushed his body over the edge and his hemoglobin shot right up to normal. At 3pm they decided to discharge him back to the house.

He is waiting for the anesthesiologist to remove the tube from his chest. I am sitting here writing this waiting for Nicki to let me know it's OK to come down and get them. I was looking forward to another 4 hour stint of Civ 4 with Marcus, but this is so much better! He still has Pancreatitis, and his stitches are healing, but he can recover here with his bland diet. We are staying in Manzanillo for the next few weeks for followups so Duckies is still not on the move.

I will have a writeup very soon of our experiences with the Mexican health care system. I think my impressions will suprise many, and probably cause some heated debates with a few recent commenters... We really cannot express our fealings for every single family member and friend who has supported us for the last few weeks, God bless!
