Just a quick not to let you know that after consideration and speaking with the nurse at the doctor's office this morning, we have decided to leave for IL. We hope to drive straight through but since his condition is low but stable, there is no immediate rush.

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again.

I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do...

From his vantage point at our front door, three-year old Seth delightedly shrieked, "Mommy," and I turned in time to see Amy being driven down our long driveway. Our three blond-haired boys buried their faces in their mother. Even the house sighed contentedly. Amy's home. A Happy Husband, David

I have shed alot of tears and just when I thought I couldn't possibly cry again...another torrent would follow. Being home has helped alot. Just being with my precious boys has brought alot of comfort. The hospital didn't allow children under age 12 to visit but they did make an exception for short visits. One of the most difficult decisions that was made was to place Seth in preschool 5 days a week from 8-12. The school offered this to us at no expense and since my health is still tenuous, it is the best decision...and my head knows this but my heart h...
