February 14, 2009
Happy Valentines Day! And it is a happy one because I get to take my valentine home with me!

Dr. Tarantolo just came in and gave us the good news! Everything looks good for John to go home. (I am so glad he wasn't released yesterday since it was not a good day for traveling.)

Although he is not completely out of the woods on his recovery, the hardest part is behind him. Even at home he will need time to regain his strength. Our hope now is that John's cancer will go into remission enough for him to lead a normal life. God willing, he will be able to enjoy many more years of family, friends, teaching, music and a nice cold beverage of his choice!

Thanks again to all of you for the numerous ways in which you showed your care and concern. Both John and I have been overwhelmed with gratitude! We feel incredibly blessed.

Take care and remember each day is a gift...for all of us.
Love,
Tobi

    Woo-Hoo!! Here's to the Happy Dance all the way home! You did it, you endured, let the healing begin! Ohhh, your own bed never felt so good!! Just getting sprung from the hospital is a celebration in itself. I celebrated with a Blizzard! (From DQ that is) Other comfort foods were applesauce, yogurt, scrambled eggs, shakes from Mickey-D's and the best...chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes from Culvers! Enjoy!

    Fantastic! John, when you're up to sharing some music and imbibing in that cold beverage of choice, just let me know. Here's to many happy days and years ahead. Best wishes from Tom, Mary Jane, Jonah, Sarah and Calli.

    John and Tobi,

    I am glad to hear that you are home for the rest of the healing process. How nice to not have the middle of the night nurse checks to wake you up any more. Would love to supply or share in the beverage as well when you are up to it! Happy day!
