Just a quick note - the right heart cath went well, and his heart didn't go out of rhythm this time which is always good news. He's walked twice so far, and did much better the second time so his progress is wonderful. They are evaluating when the feeding tube can come out. They don't want to pull it until they are sure that he can and will take enough nutrients in by mouth, but since he is getting nutrients through the tube he doesn't really feel too hungry. So we are advocating for its removal and we will see. He is down to very little oxygen when resting and uses just a little more when he is walking which is amazing progress. Even his nurses are surprised. He is still very weak overall and needs help standing up, etc., but compared to a week ago it is wonderful. His chest xrays are looking better so all of this is good news.
Your prayers, I am sure, had a part in this. Thanks for your wonderful support.

What wonderful news! It seems like everything is finally turning around for John. God is good! I'm so happy to hear of these advances, and I"m happy for Missy, as well, for some good things to be happening. The prayers will keep coming! Love, Jo Ellen
