When I got to the hospital Saturday morning, Jon looked GREAT--the best he had looked in the last few days!
That morning, Jon saw a doctor that worked with Dr. Bekele because Dr. Bekele had the weekend off. After meeting with him, Jon did a few laps and was happy to find out he was being discharged. As soon as he finished his IV antibiotic, he would be ready to leave. The nurse started the IV, and we waited for what seemed like FOREVER... While we were waiting, Jon's room phone rang. We were puzzled because no one we knew had that number. When I answered, it was Dr. Bekele! In spite of his weekend off, he was calling to check on Jon, to see how he was feeling and if he was going home. This really made me feel like he actually cared about Jon and his case.
The IV was finally finished around 1:00. I packed up his things, and Jon asked for his contacts. We loaded the blanket and pillow on Jon's lap and headed for the door for home! YAY! :)
So thankful that Jon's going home today!
