John made it home just in time for Christmas! They changed his IV antibiotic to one that is just once per day, which he is able to handle himself, with his port. Home health care is stopping in once a week. He will also have regular check-ups with his local doctor and follow-ups with the Mayo doctors, as well. The hemoglobin is still very low. He looks forward to its return to normal to gain some much needed energy. 

A huge thank you to each one of you who have supported John and our family on this journey! I don’t know what we would have done without you. Bless you!
