The question has been asked if it's possible to donate blood on John's behalf. Yes, in fact you can. This doesn't actually mean your donation will actually go to John...but you can donate in his name to offset the amount of blood he's being given. According to the Riley staff you need only to contact our local blood donation center in order to give. Contact MGH for details concerning donating blood.

Today was a good day for John. He was able to sit up and watch TV (Sportscenter mostly) for a while. Usually after being up a while, he gets tired and closes his eyes. He was able to stand and walk to the bathroom without getting dizzy which is a blessing. Pray for "Big" John this week as he is back to work and then driving to Indy each afternoon...and then back again. Lorena's twin sister, Loretta, is in town from California helping out the family. Janna is planning on staying with John on Wednesday, after her finals are finished.

John was excited to watch the Colts Sunday night. He fell asleep, like the rest of us, when the Colts started running away with the game. It was good to see John smile today. God is answering prayers and the family appreciates your support. Keep praying!
