Good evening. Today was a pretty good day. David did really well in PT today. It felt good in the therapy pool room; it was nice and warm. David is hot after he is done, but that is because he works hard. He got nauseous in the car on the way home from PT today. He rolled the window down~~even though it was kinda cold. Whatever it takes to help him feel better!

He has been eating real well. For lunch this week he has had a turkey sandwich, chips, and broccoli with ranch. He loves broccoli. I have to tell you a story about that. When he was 9, some good friends of ours got married. They served lunch after the wedding, and David kept going back to the buffet table for more broccoli. The woman who was 'manning' the table saw David coming and would turn the plate around so the broccoli was within his reach. Well, when the person serving the cake came around to our table, David said, "No, thank you. I am too full of broccoli for cake." The guy's jaw dropped!! He couldn't believe a 9-year-old child would rather have broccoli than cake!! But that is my son! I love to see him eat! Like I said before, he went months without being hungry. I will feed him just about anything he wants! He wants broccoli; he gets broccoli! We will find out on Monday how much he weighs, he has an appointment at Renown. Hopefully he has gained some weight.

David has PT again tomorrow. He is not looking forward to it. He works so hard, I am so proud of him. Lu Ann said today that it will be a good year to year and 1/2 of PT for him. She said with the muscle that was removed, plus the fact that he was off his leg for so long, plus the amount of atrophy of the muscles means a long recovery. That's ok. We will do what we have to do. Please pray he doesn't get nauseous tomorrow in PT. I wish I knew when this will end! Poor child.

You all have a good evening. Thanks for visiting and writing in the guestbook. God bless you all. We love you.
