Hey all! First, thanks to Nicole for getting this set up for me. I'm sure she and Trevor will make it look better, but John and I will provide information and updates on his condition.
As you are aware, John is in Emory waiting for a heart transplant. Right now he is in CCU, because on Friday they did a right heart catheterization to check the pressures in his heart and lungs. Although they are borderline, they are on the "good" side of borderline, which in reality is not so great as far as his priority listing for getting a new heart. But the doctors feel he should be on the highest priority list, which is 1A, so they are trying to keep him there. He has what is called a Swan catheter still in the jugular vein in his neck, which attaches via about a dozen wires and tubes to a machine that monitors how well his heart is pumping and getting oxygen from his lungs. Between that and the other heart monitors, oxygen monitors, blood pressure cuff, and who knows what else, his mobility is pretty drastically limited.
We appreciate all of the prayers, cards, and good wishes that have been sent our way. It all means so much that so many people care. Keep the prayers going, and we'll try to keep you updated.

This is wonderful! What a great way to keep everyone updated. What is the address of the hospital that he is at? If I wanted to send a little care package with boredom-busters would I send it to your house or to there? John, you and Missy both are always in our thoughts.
