If John continues to be stable over the next two days, he will be going home to complete his hospice care. The pain management at UCSF has not had to change for several days. As medical intervention is not needed at this stage of his disease, John would like to return home. If all goes well we will be there on Friday, for the duration.
He's had several nice surprises the past two days. His colleagues from SCU's University Events Planning office, where John worked in the fall and spring, arranged for a brick in his name to be added to the walkway at the new home of the Forty Niners, Levi stadium.
He received a Brandon Crawford autographed bat arranged for by the Kauderers.
Also a Crawford ball and bobbleheads from his aunt Joyce.
He also received this special video message from Klay Thompson, his favorite Warrior, arranged by his cousin Courtney. John and Courtney shared a Warriors mini-plan this season and really enjoyed their run in the playoffs.
However the most important gifts were the visits, calls, emails, and prayers from his friends and family. These have touched our hearts deeply and Melanie, John and I cannot find the right words to express our thanks. It is so overwhelming.
We will post again after we get re-established at home on Friday (fingers crossed).
I have been silently following your progress with this disease and appreciate your sharing your journey with us. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I wish for successful pain management for John and strength for you all.
