Today is a day off for Dave, yet the clinic is in full gear with 7 bone marrow transplants. Dave is sitting up in a straight back chair wearing his running shirt and shorts, and we see that he is getting stronger and more able to sit up for longer times......he is getting worked out on a regular basis and does get tired from the work out, yet he is glad that he can exercise. He has a very positive attitude about his future...he is ready for rehab, nutrition and a new diet when he gets home. Dave sends his love to all. the next transplant will be on Sunday or Monday. Keep your emails and blogs coming, they are the highlight of his day.
Cindy and I might be getting addicted to Conch seviche...we have had it for every dinner since we've been here, except last night.....no conch available, oh no. So we got it for lunch today. It is absolutely great here.

Sounds good from here. Glad things are going smoothly and everything I just read seems to be very positive. Wish there was more we could do from here but? Rest assured, we're watching from affar and you're in our prayers and thoughts. Look forward to greeting you back here in good ol Virginia. It wont be long, we'll see you then.

I'm glad you are looking forward to a healthy diet! I bet you are looking forward to that applesauce concoction that Cindy makes for you!!
Healing Prayer: Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trust in You; and in the shadow of your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me. For my soul trust in You; And in the shadow of your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. Psalm 57:1
Dad, please disregard Chris's comment, he didn't take his medicine today! LOL :)
It seems as if everything is going well. I'm so glad to hear Dad is getting massaged everyday AND by pretty nurses, I think the "look and don't touch" idea went out the window, huh?
I love you and Lucky says HHHOOOWWWLLLL (translated into - I miss you in lucky language)

It sounds like the sun is shining, the tropical breezes are blowing, music is in the air and all is well in Eden ! ! ! I'm not totally convinced, however, that Joe is actually there. We have yet to see any pictures of him there ? ? ?
It really does sound like all is heading in the right direction . . . now you can start gauging things by what can you now do AGAIN ! ! ! What an incredible miracle to be able to do that. Yes it cost a lot of money but it wouldn't matter if the technology wasn't there. God Bless all of those who have committed their lives to helping those who, otherwise, would have no hope.
Please thank all of them for all of us, because, David, YOU ARE the most important patient they have.
Now, I want more smiling pictures.
Love, Bev
Hey all, i wrote a pretty long email last night, but i must blog again this morning. Dad, Big Mike, has been trying very hard to post a blog. I have been trying to provide him technical support the last few days but with him being out of the country also and internet going in and out, its just not working. So i am going to pass on his message.
He says his prayers are with you Dave and your family. Every day. And that he KNOWS you are going to get better. He said when he was going through treatment and fighting his cancer, he repeated over and over again "I Believe, I Believe, I Believe" and what he calls ' 5 beliefs': "I Believe in the good lord, I Believe in my family, I Believe in my treatment, I Believe in my doctors and I Believe i am going to get better" he said he repeated this over and over again. And he says We Believe you are going to get better!!
He sends his love.
Big Mike &
Lindsey
Belize... soft ocean breezes, warm tropical sun, stem cell (think "tequilla") shooters and ceviche. So, when does the second honeymoon start for you and Cindy???? ;-)
So glad the procedures are working and you are regaining your strength. We keep you and Cindy and your family in our prayers and are looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Eugenie & Greg
Dad,
I believe that if we ALL believe there can't be another outcome, right?
I'm going to the gym now. Alex, Bradlee and David are coming over in a little while so we'll see if we can get a message from your grandkids to you!
Love you
"The Favorite"

Hi David,
It is so good to hear of your progress. It is those little steps we take that get us to the big improvements. I know that. I can remember when I was afraid to sit on the edge of the bed. I did it for about 20 seconds but the next day I was up in a chair. Little steps. Must get to church and always it will be for you.
God Bless and get you well. I ;miss talking to you Cindy! We will be able to do that again soon.
Love to all,
Jeanne
