Evening with Friends

It was off to Orland's and Jan's tonight for dinner! Ike and Gus also joined us and we had a good time laughing and eating (something I'm really getting good at)! Dave had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Hunt today, and things went well. He only gained 1 lb., and the problem seems to be if I am not here to be sure he eats, he waits until I get home from work to fix supper. You can bet we had a long discussion about that!!! All in all, things are improving, albeit at a slow pace.

Progress

What a great day! Dave, while sitting, can actually lift one leg and put it over the other WITHOUT USING HIS HANDS! That probably doesn't sound too exciting, but it sure is a sign for being stronger. We also were able to go out to dinner with Orland and Jan this evening and had such a great time. Dave ate well and even stayed up until 9:30! We saw people we haven't seen for a long time and it was nice just saying "hi"! God has given us another beautiful day, and we are both so thankful for the blessings of each day.
