I wonder if I can eat a pizza

Quick summary: after receiving blood transfusions all night, Steve's blood components appear to be stabilizing and his platelet count is up enough for the doctors to feel his bleeding risk is much reduced. He was bleeding somewhere in the GI tract. 

It's kind of like fix-a -flat tire spray. Spray some platelets around, give Steve a spin, then see if he still leaks. So far the leaks seemed plugged.

Right now, he's feeling better: more alert, more energy, better color, better appetite.  We all are hoping all of his blood numbers stay stable and in the safe range. 

The immediate plan:  Steve will remain in the hospital today and tonight. If he is not bleeding and his numbers are good, he may be discharged tomorrow.  However, he will stay in Seattle until early next week and have regular blood tests done to check the levels.
