I visited John for about 2 hours today and we polished off a pint of mango sorbet.
He's in pretty good spirits and taking it easy. They don't know how long he'll be in the hospital. He's been under stress with his flooded apartment and all, so it may be a good thing that he can use the time to relax. His iPhone can connect with the internet only sporadically, so he can't necessarily read emails. I'll probably go back on Monday to visit again. Keep the good vibes flowing!
