Getting Better!

Hi there...a couple of days make all the difference in the world. Dallas is feeling much better, the fever is gone and the antibiotics are starting to do their stuff. We had a check up with the surgeon today and it went well - Dallas had to give up his latest fashion accessory - his chest tube drain - yeah! I heaved a sigh of relief about that one...little steps, right? Another week of quiet rest and then next Friday we have an appointment for staple and stitch removal - he'll be as good as new!

Thanks for all the blog comments as well as golf updates - you all know how the Big Guy loves to be in the loop! More later...

Love,
Patty

Great news! Always a relief to shed the drains! Wonderful progress. I can imagine Dallas thoroughly enjoying the Olympic games from his couch-side seat?

When I think of where you were a week ago....wow! Take care guys.

Thanks Ev & Bill...you're right - so much can change in a week. It's all good! Dallas is pretty restless so he's wearing a path in our new hardwood floor instead of watching the games 24/7. Thanks for all your support. Take care.

Hello Dallas and Patty,

Thanks for all the updates Patty - you're doing good! Dallas, the road must be starting to smooth out and I am sure you are thinking so as well. We are thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes.

Wearing a path in your floor!!? I thought he would be in bed watching all the soap operas. (OK, maybe the fishing channel). Glad to hear he has so much energy. Before you know it he'll be out on the water again.

Take care
