Doing well

A small update for you all. Dave has now gained about 12 pounds. His weight gain seems to have slowed down, possibly because he's never been a "big" guy as far as his weight is concerned, possibly because he was on another course of antibiotics that prevented him from consuming as much dairy products as he'd been eating previously. Hopefully the gain will continue soon now that he's done with the antibiotics.

His incisions are doing very well and he's even able to change his own bandages (especially when I end up falling asleep on the couch at night... going back to work has caused me to go back to my old sleep schedule). Thankfully, the bandages are getting smaller and smaller and much easier to change now.

He will have some big scars from this, but as we've stated before "better a scar than the alternative".

He'll be visiting with his doctor again next week and will know more at that time as to when he'll be going back to work. He's really looking forward to returning to work. He's quite bored at home doing nothing all day.

A special thank you to all of the employees at Laura Shoppes Canada who pulled together a collection to help us pay for our new refrigerator. We are extremely grateful to you all for this heartfelt gift.
