Morning After

Its the day after Christmas and somehow our family always feels a little more like we have it together than we do on Christmas Day...not that it wasn't special, Brian and Sarah were both with us and we had spent a wonderful day on Sunday with my parents and Brothers in Midland, MI...I think that everyone takes strength and hope from seeing Dave...he is such a miracle in person and a walking talking example of God's loving response to all of our prayers.

Brian flew back to Minneapolis tonight and Sarah has gone out with friends. Dave and I are watching Central Michigan vs Purdue at the Motor City Bowl...its not going well for CMU.

Dave walked down to the grocery store today...I guess he just wanted to do it. I would imagine that it is a half of a mile. He seemed down when he returned ...he said that he had to stop twice to rest his legs. It doesn't seem to be his heart and lungs that struggle, but his legs.

We hope to drive over to Grand Haven this weekend, snuggle up in our cottage and get a change of scene...I think that we both need it, also we want to visit the Drs and Nurses at the hospital in Muskegon.

Dave will be starting rehab again on Jan. 3rd, and will also begin cardiac rehabilitation. That means probably 4 days a week in Ann Arbor. I would like to get away for some sunshine but that may have to wait until the end of Feb, at least.

I have only gotten through the A's and B's as far as getting out holiday cards...maybe by New Years Day !!! I Will get there!! Until then, know that we miss you all, wish you the best and can't wait to talk to you.

Love, Melody and DAve
