He has had several people from work come visit. What a blessing that people are taking time out to visit and call. He's enjoying seeing everyone and knowing the latest.
His pulminologist, Dr. Ramaswamy, who has such great bedside manner, said he is "not concerned like he was a couple days ago," although he wants to leave the helium/oxygen mix in a missile looking tank in David's room, just in case he has trouble breathing. David says it makes him sound like Donald Duck. His blood counts are doing well. His WBC was 30,000 (normal is 4000- 10,000). Obviously, the meds are working in the way of increasing his WBC. He's really only on one medication, one antibiotic and if he can begin taking those orally rather than intravenously he'll be able to come home!
The boys are doing well. Davey went to a birthday party today and then was playing at a friend's house until late, so he has been distracted from the "Daddy isn't home" situation. Max is continuing to be entertained by "Aunt" Tena and Eli. Tena and I are realizing how stressed we would be if we had 3 children. All of you with more than two kids are amazing! Who knew that adding just one more kid to the mix would be so much more work - and more love, of course.
Tena and Eli are staying until NEXT Saturday, instead of the original plan of leaving today. I am hoping to take Davey to see Wall-E next week. Anyone seen it yet??

Keep praying!

I was so glad to get some news from you...I want to call, but your Mom tells me that your phone rings all the time...I am so happy that Tina can stay longer..I am sure it is a big help to have someone there that you know you can count on.....Our church is praying for all of you and they alert all the churches in SCC so there are a lot of people involved...can't have too many oryers....I went to the dinner theater in Hudson, Fl. yesterday to see "Forever Plaid" It was great, esp all the music....it is a long trip (almost 2 hours), but worth it....made a new friend on the bus...that's always good...speaking of friends....you are so lucky to have made so many , but who wouldn't want to be your friends????? I love you all..Gram
We are saying so many prayers for you. Your strength is amazing.

We saw Wall-E yesterday! JT loved it and I'm sure that Davey will too (and so will you!).
We love you!

Dave & Jennifer, Davey & Max,
Greetings from your second home in Bowling Green! I hate that you are having to experience all this--again--lots of curve balls to be sure. Yet, I agree with Emerson and Jesus--you have tremendous strength within. The Spirit of GOD is with you. That knowledge does not take away the pain and hassle and uncertainty and perhaps anger, but it will lighten your burden, your cross at this time. Know that you, David, are back on our Prayer List. We pray with and for you and the whole family. We love you. Shalom, Fr. Jerry
