Update #91

Dave's moving to Cinci! Just 38 hours shy of three months after his accident, Dave will be transported by ground ambulance from UT in Knoxville to Drake Center in Cincinnati tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. After much discussion, Dave chose to go by ground in order to avoid having to be transferred from his hospital bed to an ambulance stretcher, from the ambulance stretcher to the plane stretcher, from the plane stretcher to the ambulance stretcher, and from the ambulance stretcher to a bed at Drake. The doctors here will be giving him meds for pain and nausea before he leaves, which will hopefully be enough to knock him out for the duration of the five hour trip.

Please be praying tomorrow that the weather will be fair, the traffic will be flowing, and the transfer will be completely uneventful. We should be arriving in Cincinnati around 1:00 p.m. - I'll get a post up as soon as he is settled.

God is awesome, I am giddy, and Dave is one step closer to home. Love you all!

My prayer is that the travel is easy and peaceful and that Dave can just sit back and relax.

May the ride bring healing along the way.

See ya soon Dave.

Yay!

That is great news! :-) We will all continue to pray for you and Dave; for a restful night's sleep and ease of transport. We look forward to continued updates when you get home! Again, VERY exciting! I can understand your giddiness.

Smiles and love,
Liz, Mike, Meghan, David, Molly, Emma and Belle
