Meet Baza. :-) There are benefits to having a friend who is a professional photographer - thanks Cheryl! Small plug because she's so great to us and will be doing our wedding celebration party thing in June - go check out her site at http://www.cherylweaverphotography.com/.
Be praying - we went for Dave's Ortho follow-up on Monday, and there is a small chance that he has a bone infection in his femur. Dr. Archdeacon didn't seem overly concerned, but the bone biopsy showed a small amount of a bacteria that normally only shows up on the skin. Not a problem on its own, but the incisions where Dr. Archdeacon removed the old rod and inserted the new one are red and slightly infected (the other incisions are fine), which means that the infection may have come from the old rod itself when it was removed and rubbed on the skin (does that make any sense?). Anyway, Dave is on some pretty intense antibiotics, and if the redness around the incisions doesn't clear up by Friday, back to the doctor (and potentially back to the hospital) we go.
More soon...

I think you should have named him killer... looks like he could take your hand off if you wave it in front of him...

I think Baza will look better with some brocolli and fried rice. Obviously, I love dogs

Kendahl and Dave,
Since you left UT, I have been keeping up with you on your blog. It brings tears to my eyes to see that Dave is home. I was bawling by the time that I saw the videos of you walking. Congratulations on the wedding! And on adorable Baza!
I was one of the resident physicians in the SCC during July. I'll never forget your story; I'm praying for you still. Good luck with the Ortho follow up!
-Betsy
