Good Stuff!

We haven't had much to post lately about David's medical situation and ongoing recovery, but we got some items of good news today. He has been approved to go back to English Oaks for more physical therapy, and he has an appointment (June 5) to go to UCSF and have a 60 minute appointment with a neurovascular doctor there.

It's our hope that with these two items in the future he will be able to continue to make gains physically and may also get some more answers about his situation.

We are also thankful that his heart repair took place as early in the spring as it did, as David had been signed up to go to Washington DC with Jacob's 8th-grade class and had been concerned he might not get to go depending on the time of that procedure. He is going, and they will be leaving Saturday and coming back the next Saturday. If you are praying for us, would you please pray for David to have strength and energy necessary to take this on? It's a pretty grueling trip - on the move all the time - and he still gets tired when we walk one mile together. He's also had a cold for the last 5 weeks. I'm just a bit worried about the toll it might take on him.

So anyway, just a lot of good news - a bonding time coming up for Jacob and his dad that we weren't sure would get to come about, more physical therapy which David needs, and an appointment at UCSF.

Thank you for the update. We will continue to pray for David and Jacob on this trip.....for fun and the strength to enjoy it.
I read on a church sign: Worrying is a waste of imagination.
The prayers: Consider it done.
