… may not be a good day, but there’s good in every day. My sister-in-law, Ann, just texted this to Dave, and it’s so appropriate for today. He has collided with the brick wall that the doctors and nurses warned he would hit. Normally, Dave would spin off and keep going, sprinting for the end zone. However, that’s not happening anytime soon. Since the transplant on Wednesday, it’s been slow going. No food sounds appetizing. Riding the stationary bike and walking seem like a chore. Even drinking water takes an  extra effort for a guy who drinks water like a camel. But, the good in today is that the television is back on and he’s watching sports. You can bet he will be watching UM tonight as the Wolverines battle Wisconsin.

The doctor doesn’t expect his counts to turn around and engraftment to take place until around October 20. And, of course you know what Dave is saying about that. He’s planning on setting a record and banking on engraftment happening by the 17th. And, I know you are all chuckling right now because you know just how true that is. Go Dave Go!

Every day may not be a good day, but there is good in every day.
