Seeing David's pic in the ICU brought back my own stressfull moments. All the best laid out plans are thrown out of the window and the least you can do is make the best of what you got. Both of you are troopers and fighters, just look at David's smile! For sure, in due time you will be moving on, but for now healing and recovery is top priority. Hang in there, all of these will soon pass. Sending you hugs, prayers and positive vibes!

I am so happy David came through it so well and I was very happy I was able to be there. Will never forget David post surgery with the myriad of tubes attached all over his body and then watching each day as one or more of those tubes was removed. It was also a good opportunity to spend time with both you and David.

So sweet of his brother to join you through the worst of it. I hope David was able to keep those bright yellow socks! I'm sure they contributed to his quick recovery time. I know this was much easier to share with it behind you, and I hope you're taking care of yourself as well as your patient.Your spot is definitely outside your comfort zone, but the security of full hookups and easy access to medical help is worth it I'm sure.

Here's hoping you won't have to be here too long. You are welcome to come sit on our patio anytime you want, whether we are home or not. We have afternoon shade, wildlife and plenty of chairs.

Everything you describe sounds so similar ...Oh my! Everything you describe sounds so similar to what we went through ... except it was a heart murmur that sent Mui to the cardiologist. So happy to hear that all’s well and you’re back at home. Wishing David a speedy recovery ... but he needs to take it easy and not push it. Mui started his cardiac rehab two weeks ago ... typically patients go three times a week for about an hour ... at least here. We were told for three months ... but that most patients bail after two months. Once we reach 2-mos post surgery, they will add upper body exercises as well. The rehab can be done anywhere, but being close to where his cardiologist/surgeon is optimum for follow-up. Wish you both good luck and sending you healing thoughts.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-76373366563570126302018-02-23T09:42:54.737-05:002018-02-23T09:42:54.737-05:00Thought something might be up because of your last...Thought something might be up because of your last post and time since you've posted.
