We've been sprung! It happened on Sunday, in the aftermath of the Big Snow. Matthew was supposed to be released on Saturday, but we convinced the docs to wait until the snowstorm was safely over. Poor Danny had to reschedule his birthday party due to the storm - more evidence (from his standpoint) that all the forces in the universe are aligned against him. (Actually, he handled it pretty well after getting over his initial rage.)
Matthew and I are now living with Jon's mom in the pleasant Mt. Washington section of the city, about 15 minutes northwest of downtown. We're traveling back & forth to Hopkins every other day for check-ups and tests. Matthew is feeling well - even stronger than after the last round (probably because he remained hospitalized a little longer). He still has to be very cautious about germs, wearing a mask in public and avoiding crowds, but he's got lots of energy and is eating again. (It's pretty annoying for him to be living with his mother AND grandmother, however, both us constantly urging him to eat more and dress more warmly).
We are likely to remain in Baltimore (to be close to the hospital) for another couple of weeks. Hopefully then we will be allowed to return home. For now, we're just thrilled to be out of the hospital.
Since we have received a number of inquiries, I wanted to announce that there will be a memorial service for Jon's dad this Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 3:30 p.m. at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. For more details, directions, etc., please email me or Jon.

Hi, Jaime, Matthew and Bobby,
I've been thinking of you! I am sitting here in Mayorga Coffee in Silver Spring working on my paper (as usual). Reggae music playing in the background, it's a fun and hip environment. When you get back to Bethesda, we'll have to have a Sunday morning brunch here!
Love and Hugs,
Cousin Debbie
