That isn't a small thing... that is a big thing. Hopefully, this is just a taste of what will come in the future... a return to a more normal life. I know you both can't wait for that. I am hoping for another good day. David looks more cheerful in the photos today. Such a challenge for both of you... always have you in my thoughts and hoping for better days ahead...

Bill said, "Nothing bad can come from watching ladies in bikinis;o)" We got out on a hike the other day and thought of you both several times. It won't be long before you can go with us to hug and smell trees for yourself:o))) Just know we think of you both everyday!!Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-60729629824413287372012-07-31T11:09:01.085-04:002012-07-31T11:09:01.085-04:00I have been reading your blog for a few months now...I have been reading your blog for a few months now but have never posted. When I read that David was sick I told my husband about it & told him this one more reason we should not put off our plans to become full-timers. We are not promised what tomorrow will bring. <br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to leave you a comment ( since you love them so much) letting you know that I love your blog and am so glad you have decided to share your journey with all of us. You two amaze and inspire me everyday. Y'all are in my thoughts often even though we have never met. I continue to hope for David's speedy recovery & continued patience for you when dealing with all the doctors. <br /><br />AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-21796239603451850312012-07-31T11:04:28.232-04:002012-07-31T11:04:28.232-04:00Excellent progress!

Should Dad even be touching the signs at Lettuce Park?! Just kidding - it is GREAT that he is sleeping better and his energy is increasing - can't wait to hear what his numbers are today :) And, happy to hear you got such a good walk in - so much nicer to see outdoor pictures, rather than all hospital pictures. So, so glad that after all this life is creeping slowly back to more normal.

I can't imagine how he was able to walk so long in the heat and humidity. I guess he needs to keep up his tan, huh?<br /><br />We had one of those stoves and I hated it, because I could never get the burner to turn down enough to only simmer. It always wanted to boil. I think there is a problem with your stove.<br /><br />I'll bet David won't need to be at the Marriott to much longer. :)<br /><br />Can't wait to see those numbers for today.

Not only would I not have cardboard and tape with me, but it wouldn't occur to me to cover the small lights. DOH!<br /><br />I loved the slide show. I have a couple of "bird amps" on my phone. I was listening to a bird over on James Island when I was there recently with my daughter and I recognized it as a tufted titmouse. I put the song on and was holding the phone and sure enough a tufted titmouse landed right on my phone. Unfortunately, he startled me and I startled him back and off he went. <br /><br />When I take Jack for his short walks (Susan has now taken over the long ones to the nature center when she can get here) I put the bird ap on robins or cardinals or blue jays, and it's amazing how it gets the birds going! I know. Small things amuse small minds! LOL<br /><br />I was so happy to hear that David slept better. I'm convinced that your healthy lifestyle has sent him through transplant with flying colors--that and his tenacity (I won't mention yours).<br /><br />I'm glad you get to run in the morning. I was afraid the 24/7 thing was going to prevent that, but I remember that Rich always used to say that he didn't feel the same if he didn't get his run in.<br /><br />Well, here's to another good night's sleep. Maybe the intervals will increase with each night. Fingers crossed.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-13921606464695989522012-07-30T22:37:50.584-04:002012-07-30T22:37:50.584-04:00Wow, what an improvement already!
