Update #88

I talked to Dave again last night, and he continues to do well. He still sounds really tired, which makes sense since the doctors and nurses wake him up with questions, meds and dressing changes at 2:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m...., but overall, he said that he is doing well. His heart rate remained below 100, and he even sat up in a chair for over an hour (SIDENOTE: the chairs that Dave has been sitting in are not normal chairs but special therapeutic chairs with padding, a higher back to support his head and neck and a flat footrest so he can put pressure on the bottom of his feet). Otherwise, he spent most of the day watching TV and relaxing, and when we got off the phone, he was getting ready to have his bed turned so he could watch some Labor Day fireworks out the window of his room.

Really short post today - more once I talk to Dave and/or his fam again. Happy Labor Day! Keep praying for the insurance to come through on the transport!
