Hi All,

Returned from a visit to John with Janis today.  He was sitting a chair
and eating lunch when we got there.  Still having trouble talking, can't
seem to not cough or gag when talking.  Saw doctor, he said they had put
in a new tube, now two, to drain fluids from the plural cavity.  He feels
that an infection is causing the build up of fluids.  They are putting in
a pickline to better administer antibiotics.  John will be in SR Memorial
until at least March 8th according to the doctor.  May be able to be moved
to MCDH after that, but recovery will be a long process.  They still are
not sure what all is happening.  Sorry I can't give you better news.
