Hello Everyone,
I'm back out here in Buffalo - thanks to Amy for doing a great job for the past few days. As I'm sure you all can understand, it is hard to be back home and away from Rita. I always feel so much better being her with her. I am so happy to see how well she is doing this time around. Her numbers are staying better, she looks great and is so much stronger than she was during course 1 and 2A. I think we have learned how to give her the things she needs (fluids, foods and other nourishment's) that she has been able to not only maintain her strength but to continue to get even stronger. This evening, we walked 5 laps in the hallway - three of them without her walker-and this is more than she has done before. At the end, Rita said "tomorrow we will do one more than today". That is where her mind, body and spirit is. Tomorrow will be better than today. For all of you that know Rita, I'm sure this is no surprise to you. We still have a long way to go but, at the same time, we have come so far. Rita is definitely doing the right things to make sure that this is a success story. I'm so proud of her. We all know that the focus of Rita's life has always been what she can do for all of us. I think she now understands how much we all depend on her and that, when we do things to help her now, we are really just helping ourselves. That makes it easier for her to accept that, for now, its OK if we wait on her. I'm sure she will do everything she can to make it even when she gets well - its just the way she is and I look forward to that day.
OK enough for tonight - we send our love and thank you for your prayers, Dave & Rita
