• Richard and Coles returned to North Carolina today.
• Kitty and I arrived at the hospital just after noon. Renel was already there.
• Dad and I took a fast walk (with IV cart) to the hotel (Methodist Tower?). Renel considered staying there, but it was decided to stick with the hotel downtown.
• After we got Dad back to his room, Kitty, Renel and I headed over to see the Shumakers. Jason picked up Misha and Nell at the hotel.
• Jill and Dave hosted us and their children's families for a delightful evening. We each gave a status report on our lives. Misha gave an impressive yoga lesson. Then we all gorged on pizza.
• We headed back to the hotel. Mom was fresh from a nap, so we took her to the hospital.
• The Heprin had done its job and Dad's blood clotting level was down in the desired range.
• Dad hopes to be released tomorrow.
• Results of the biopsy might be available late tomorrow, but it could be Tuesday.
