Quick Update

We came home Friday morning and Dave slept most of the day. He woke up Saturday ready to go to Ella's first soccer game. We did and afterward he requested pizza for lunch. I was thrilled to see him eat an entire piece, then he slept most of the rest of the day. This morning, he woke up ready for church and still felt well enough, and hungry enough, afterward to stay for lunch. It does my heart good to see him wanting to eat again.

We don't know anything else about the lymphoma right now. He has an appointment with the oncologist at the end of the month to find out more about the pathology and talk about what to do next. We know there is a PET scan in the future and probably a bone marrow test but for now his job is to heal. While is energy level is increasing every day and he's already getting stir crazy, his body is in no shape for additional testing or treatment right now.

Please continue to pray as we wait for more information and slowly get back to our normal lives. Thanks for the prayers, calls, messages, visits, meals, cards - all of it. It means more than I can say.

I'll leave you with this cuteness - pictures I received one morning in the hospital.

It's hard to believe, but I promise I'm the mother of these children.

This one especially looks like her father, and much older than 3 1/2.

This is his very focused Cheese! face.
We are so very glad to be home and together again.
