Here we go again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone it's Sharon. I thought maybe it was time for me to make a post. First of all let me say that Dave is doing okay and seems to have kicked the pneumonia, according to the doctors. Let me just say that for awhile now the doctors have been saying that I am the best judge on Dave's condition, because I seem the must tuned into how he is on a daily basis. I think he is still fighting the pneumonia a bit, I don't think it is completely resolved, but he is in very good care and it won't get out of hand again. Those of you who were there at Johns Hopkins know how hard it was for me and Dave's family to make a decision on where Dave should go from there. You also know that I had a hard time dealing with the options that were given to me. I felt that Dave needed more care then what was being offered as far as our options. In his own way Dave affirmed my fears! 104 fever and getting put in ICU because of respitory distress is definititly one way of letting us know "I need a higher level of care, skilled nursing just won't DO!!!!!" I have nothing against skilled nursing but it is not for someone under the age of 50!!!!! I might be biased, just my opinion.
Tomorrow Dave is getting moved into a LTach (long term acute care hospital). The long term is actually shorter then you think. For most people it is around a month. Since we all know Dave has never done anything by the book, or the way it is suppose to be done, we can only assume he might be there longer. This is not a bad thing! Dave needs very attentive care right now so we can stop taking a step forward and then two back. I feel very confident that Dave is finally being placed in a place that can handle all that he is going to throw at them. All of us know that Dave never does anything half-assed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's getting his money's worth, and giving them all a pop quiz on top of it. (YOUR GONNA EARN IT BABY)
For anyone who has doubts, Dave is still all there!!!!!!!!!!!
To all of his friends at Skytop:
Dave still knows who you all are!!!!!!!! I tell him everyday all the people from work who has asked about him, who is praying for him, and who wants to come see him when he is ready. He has not forgotten his extended family. He still knows all your names and where you work, regardless if you have been there for five years of fifteen. We all know Dave, and I think he would be willing to do inventory for next 365 days and get all the pop-ups you could give him, if he could just get back to normal life! Dave would like to extend a thank you to his staff! You really pulled it together when you had to and he is sorry he wasn't there, and will not be for a awhile, but he is proud of you all!!!!!!!!!!!!(He has been updated!!!!!!!!!!!)Bernice he feels for you, he got help at least from Jim(puddy), you have no one to ask! (we all try to help when we can)
So to everyone at Skytop, you are Dave's extended family and he thanks you all, for your prayers and well wishes,and he misses you all, never doubt that!!
The last couple of weeks have been tough, we moved from a point of trying to figure out what was wrong to, wow, is Dave going to get through this road bump? He is and he is going to get better! I ask Dave everyday if he feels he is going to get better, he still sticks to YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I would just like to extend a thank you from me and Dave! To all who have included Dave in their prayers and thought, to all who have given us a little something to make everything a little easier, and to all of our friends who have who have decided that making my life easier is their mission in life right know, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE YOU ALL! I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
