A LITTLE BIT OF THIS AND A WHOLE LOT OF THAT

Looks like a little bit of radiation should take care of the thyroid issue and a whole lot of hope is what is in the works.   Dave is doing just fine and we are encouraged.  This shouldn't slow him down too much.   He will see Dr. Stille on the 20th and we will find out more of the details.   As always, Dave has a great attitude and amazing fortitude.   We continue on.

TESTING, TESTING, TESTING

Welcome to the New Year, and we are praying for a good 2010.   Dave has been slowly regaining strength and appetite.  Living in Kalispell hasn't kept him from an occasional visit to "The Buffalo Cafe" in Whitefish where keeps in close contact to the Whitefish coffee drinkers.  He has also found another "group" that he shares coffee and stories with here in Kalispell.   Those little things make a huge difference!   Because of a few issues with Dave's thyroid, he underwent a thyroid biopsy a week ago, and will get the results tomorrow.  We are expecting a good report; although if there are some issues, removing the thyroid would be an option.  I'll post later on those results.   Right now, we are enjoying the days and our new home.   As a little side note, I beat Dave in golf on the Wii!!!!  Of course I also beat D.J. and Jeff.   Poor guys, they better practice up!
