Up and around

Dave's getting stronger by the day and his weight is steadily going up. So far he's gained back 11 lbs and his calf muscles are almost back to normal.

He's feeling well enough now that he's planning a short visit to Laura (his work) sometime during the week. I'll probably be with him since I'm still not feeling comfortable with him driving that far out on his own. Consequently, it'll have to be an early morning visit so that I can be back to work on time for the lunch hour at school.

We're still receiving wonderful cards and gifts from the people in our lives and we are very much enjoying every one of them. Again, the gratitude we feel towards you all is truly overwhelming. It's nice to know that we have so many friends who love us this much!

Dave just reminded me that I never updated you all after his visit to the Doctor last week. His incisions are doing well enough that the one under his ear is no longer bandaged and the one on his neck is now only half covered. The doctor has given him at least 3 more weeks off work for now. When he goes back on the 30th, we'll know more about when he will be going back to work. I get the feeling that he's itching to get back there soon!

He's eating like there's no tomorrow! I swear, he goes through 2 litres of Homogenized milk per day! Not to mention all the protein he's eating. I'm just thrilled that he's gaining his weight back!
