Don’t be tricked. The guy behind the mask is an imposter dressed as a doctor. Dave reached his grueling and grinding goal and was fortunate to accompany our grandchildren for Halloween. Dressed as a doctor and masked to prevent infection was the best solution to keep Dave healthy. Between Emilee masquerading as a zombie, Easton donning the the maize and blue or Everett wearing his favorite Mickey Mouse shirt and ears, Dr. Dave was happy to listen to anyone’s heartbeat. Susan joined the fun, dressed as a Beanie Baby, and the group was flanked by two of the neighborhood friends, Jack and Katie. The night was a treat for all, held more meaning than one would imagine and left us with a sense of satisfaction.

The clinical went well today as counts are holding steady enough for us to enjoy the weekend at home. We will need to return bright and early on Monday for scheduled tests and our bi-weekly check-up.
