From my phone conversation with Jess...
John slept most of the day today. He now has a pretty swollen left eye. It almost looks like he was punched. They are thinking it may be another infection of some sort, possibly pink eye and they are treating it as that. His counts have not really moved and we are hoping the Neupogen will begin to get his counts moving.
John has been a little down and needed to be reassured that this butt kicking was worth it and the doctors had high hopes for another successful outcome. His main oncologist paid him a visit and recapped the steps they are going to take. Besides his lack of strength, things are on target. He really needs to get his counts moving and rest to rebuild his energy. One of his favorite nurses, Moe was with him most of the day and kept Jess and her parents up-to-date on his status and occupied him with talk of the Ohio State game.
He has been through more than any person should be, but his desire to keep fighting overwhelms many.
Jessica had the D&C Monday morning and was resting. Everything went as good as can be expected in a situation like this. She will need her rest as well to recover from her procedure and is not sure if she will make it to the Clinic tomorrow.
It is these low times where John needs us the most. Please continue to pray, post and call to keep his spirits up.

John, I don't know if you remember me but we went to HS together (Susan Beaver). Back then, I cheered for you on the football field, and I want you to know that I'm rooting for you still.
After hearing about your fight, and reading about everything you and your wife have been through, I am truly inspired by your amazing strength and courage.
Keep up the fight. I'll be on the sidelines with the rest of your fans, watching your progress and cheering you on.
John and Jessica,
Sending you much love and all our strength to add to your already remarkable courage and strength.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Sue and Dwight
