Update #92

Just spoke to Kendahl at 3:10 p.m. (this is her dad). Dave is successfully settled in his room in Cincinnati. She asked me to post the blog because she can't take all the phone calls/messages she's getting.... Yet she wants to let everyone know what's going on.

The trip went well. Dave slept most of the way. Kendahl couldn't ride with him in the ambulance (she learned at the last minute) because the ambulance insurance wouldn't cover her. So she followed in her car. She says they made very good time.

Dave is now resting comfortably. He has a view of the courtyard. They have met his doctor and some of the nurses, and don't expect physical therapy to start until Monday, so he'll have a couple days to rest and get acclimated.

Dave's parents should be arriving within a "few minutes" and his sister is coming down from Michigan tomorrow.

Knowing that everyone in the Cincinnati area will be wanting to see him, Kendahl said that she will post a blog when he is ready to have visitors. He probably couldn't handle the onslought of everyone who has been supporting and praying for him for the past 13 weeks visiting at the same time. But I'm sure he's looking forward to seeing you all.

Now, a personal note to Dave (I'm taking advantage of having access to the blog). Now that you have come this far in your recovery, you and I have some unfinished business to discuss...something about my daughter's hand...? Her three brothers also want in on that conversation...:)
