Saturday Night

Today has been a good day.  A friend we met during our first week at MDA came for a visit.  She also has Sarcoma Cancer and began treatment the same time as Dave.  We had the best visit with her.  Dave had his epidural removed today and was taken off of his pain pump.  He is having some pain tonight as they try to adjust him to his oral pain meds.  After they unhooked him from everything, he walked some and even went down the hall to get a cup of coffee.  Dave's mom and my parents have been out here with us this week.  Since he is doing so well, they are planning to go home tomorrow.  Dave will probably be released within the next day or so.  We are planning to stay in Houston for a couple more days to make sure he is doing ok before we fly home. We are very pleased with his progress, but he still has a lot of recovering to do. 

Can I just tell you how hot it was today in Houston.....106 !!! Thankfully I didn't have to be out in it.  Today was Samo's first football game and it was hot there too.  I was so sad we had to miss it.  His Uncle Bradley has been taking him to practice and he took him to the game today.  I talked to him after the game and he sounded so excited.  He made an interception!!  Wooohooo!!  I can't wait to get home and cheer for him.  I miss all three of the kids terribly. I am ready to get home to them....just a few more days.
