Unfortunately, there's more to update...

Rubin came home yesterday and was feeling pretty good, but then last night noticed that he was losing a lot of blood (I won't go into details, but you know what he was here for so think about it...). He called the surgeon and he said he wasn't too worried, that it could be normal, but if it continued to call back today. It continued all night and he was dizzy this morning, so we called and he's back at the hospital. We waited for a couple of hours, and as soon as I decided to run down and get a Diet Coke, the doctor came in, of course. All he really said is that his blood count is a little low, and they are going to continue to monitor it to see if it gets worse - if it goes below a certain number then he will have to have a transfusion. They are hoping that he can just stay here and be monitored and it will get better. If not, they may have to go back in to find the problem. Looks like we're just waiting for now - will update when something changes.
