BETTER DAY

We've made it through another week here in Seattle. It has been pretty tough at times, but along with the bad comes the good. Today was a good day for Dave. He started feeling better yesterday and actually sat in a chair for an hour and a half. That was a huge accomplishment. He also has been eating better. He said that "goolosh" (?sp) really sounded "good for some reason", so I took a hike to Whole Foods and bought the ingredients, came back to the SCCA House and got to work. Being very pleased with myself, I headed back to the hospital with a nice hot dish of goolosh. However, by the time I arrived in Dave's room, he was so nauseated he couldn't even think of eating. So much for that. Oh well, it was a good hike.

Today, Dave was taken off oxygen and has an 02 sat of 97% on room air!! He is breathing much better and actually slept off and on most of the day.

Tomorrow, Rachel and family will be arriving and Dave's brother, Mark, will be here Sunday night. This past weekend Emily Kew-Shagren and her husband, Eric, also stopped in to say "hi". It was so great seeing them and it was nice that Molly and Emily were able to spend some time together.

I hope everyone has a meaningful Easter and, remember, God is Good!
