Some have asked how David is doing. It has been three months now; recovery is slow. He has been sick for so long that it is taking a while to get his strength back. His dementia is one of his biggest problems. Some days he gets discouraged, as he is so used to always working.

David update: David went for his one-month checkup. The heart surgeon has released him. He is healing very fast. He is now able to do things and start building his strength.
Thank you all for your prayers.

David update:
David came home from the hospital today. Doctors can't believe how well he is healing.
His dementia and confusion are worse. Doctors think going home to his own surroundings is the best thing for now. We think they are right. He already seems better.

Please continue prayers, they are working. Ellena has a hard month ahead of her.

Up date on David:

Well, it didn't go as planned. The Dr. went in, and it looked worse than expected. He will need open-heart surgery. He has a room at Rolla Hospital until they have a bed at Barnes in St. Louis.
Prayers are still needed. Two nurses came in and told him he must have a lot of faith to have been through all he has been through and still be alive.

On Friday, David goes to the hospital for three more stents. This will make twenty-one. Widow maker is 90-99% blocked. I am asking everyone to please pray for him. The last one is when he ended up with two brain bleeds, a stroke, and seizures. We are all a little anxious about this time. I know it was just God and everyone's prayers that got him through the last ones. Thank you, and I will keep you posted.
