Two of Dave's roommates came to town for a visit a few weeks ago (I'm a little behind schedule). I knew I liked them right away, but I understood why they are such good friends with Dave when they kissed a bronze horse, spent $1.50 in quarters trying to get a pink gumball from the machine, and posed for a picture on a wooden banana. Amy and Marisa, you rock, and we can't wait to see you again in June!
Onto the update...
Dave doesn't have MRSA! Took almost two weeks but the culture came back negative. Unfortunately, the blob is still on the side of Dave's face with no sign of disappearing. We're headed back to Dr. Cepela's office tomorrow, a visit that may lead to a small plastic surgery to remove the blob. Be praying that won't be necessary.
More positive news: Dave may be walking completely on his own in less than two weeks! Regina (PT) is pushing Dave hard, and he is using his cane around the house and a single crutch when we are out. He has been working to walk unassisted at PT (I have a video that I'm trying to post) and is making amazing progress in his strength. He even used our Wii Fit (thanks, John, Terri and fam!) for the first time the other day and (I'm embarrassed to say) beat my score in most of the balance games. Humbling, but still fun to watch!
Dave's fam was down for Easter this past weekend - I'll get pictures up soon. For now, Baza is getting into something, so I should run.
Be praying for:
Healing of the blob.
Continued improvement in Dave's strength.
More soon!
