Dave's white blood count is at 6,200! His temperature is 99.7. Dave went down to interventional radiology this morning so they could take a look at the left side of his liver. Apparently they weren't able to see the left side last week in IR for some reason. They said the left side of his liver is looking okay. Dave had PT this morning and they had him stand twice. He also had wheelchair 101 during PT. Dave wheeled himself down the hallway and then had assistance in getting back to his room. He is definitely gaining strength daily! PTL. Dave asked for cottage cheese on Tuesday, which isn't part of the fluid diet. After Dr Stothert asked, "who even likes cottage cheese?" he wrote an order for a soft diet and specified on the order that that would include cottage cheese as well. Yesterday Dave had his cottage cheese! Since Tuesday they have upped Dave's liquid food intake to 20 cc/hr through the gastric tube. Dave has tolerated this well. Dave is pretty comfortable again today with continued bouts of random hiccup episodes. Dave continues to make progress, small steps at a time! We appreciate all the prayers.

Well looks like his vaction is about over time to get back to work. I sit here and type with a few tears welling up, so happy Dave is on the up swing. I know there is a long way to go, But God is so good it is a joy to see prayer answered. Darren
OOOOOOOOOO MY! SOUNDS SO TERRIFIC--TRUTH TO TELL, I LIKE COTTAGE CHEESE, TOO!! DAVE, I AM EAGER TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN WHEELCHAIR 101--YOU CAN PROBABLY TEACH ME A THING OR TWO (ALTHOUGH I DEFINITELY HAVE SENIORITY IN LENGTH OF TME IN WHEELCHAIR OOCCUPANCY--AND I DOUBT IF YOU COULD EVER CATCH UP WITH ME!)
KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!

Hey Dave,
Cottage cheese is good, but ask for ice cream next time! God is so faithful! You know He's smiling on you as you push that wheelcahir and exceed in PT. We're standing with you Big Bro - and applauding! You keep showing us how it's done!
Love all ya all,

HI Dave! Yum! Sounds good. Was it just the most wonderful thing you've tasted? ;)
I just wanted you to know that today is my last day at Hy-Vee. I am feeling really sad and excited all at once. I wish you were here to say good bye to. But since you're not, I'll say it here on your blog. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have always been a HUGE encouragement to me and helped me grow in my walk so much. I have always appreciated our talks, even when they're hard. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful friend, brother and 2nd father. You will continue to be in my prayers, every day. I love you man! I miss you!
Love in Christ,
Erica
