Have I mentioned...

...how proud of my sister I am.  Growing up we all used to make fun of Sharon because she wouldn't even call and order a pizza, she was that shy!  She's come a long way.  Her days now are filled with discussions with hospital administrators, insurance company representatives, Dave's Drs and nurses...the list is endless and throughout out it all she still spends as much waking time as she can at Dave's side giving him 200% of her love and support!  My little sister is really amazing.  For anyone who may feel slighted that Sharon has not been able to call and keep them updated personally, please try to remember what she is going through.  We all have our own difficult lives with family, kids, and jobs and as hard as that seems at times it doesn't even begin to touch the enormity of what Sharon is dealing with everyday, all day long.  While still in Baltimore I had asked Sharon if she missed home.  She said, "No, I miss my life and my best friend".  I think that statement says it all.

By now I think you have all read Amy's comments about Dave being moved back to PA.  He is at Old Orchard, 4100 Freemansburg Ave., Easton, PA  18042.  As with any transition, sometimes it takes time to get used to new people, new schedules, etc.  Yesterday was Dave's first day there and Sharon said he slept for most of the day.  The day before was a long one for both Dave and Sharon.  Dave did great during the ride and that night however, it really wore him out.  The good news is that the chest congestion that he was experiencing seems to be getting better.  Sharon said that yesterday he hardly coughed at all and although he slept for most of the day, it was a good sound sleep, just the kind his body needs.

Dave, Danny and Katie wanted to say "Hi" and hope you are feeling better soon.  They told me that you will get better soon because, "he has to keep Aunt Sharon company and help her with all the dogs".  We all love you very much, Dave!  Continue to be strong!
