Jackie's Birthday!

I'm back home after a glorious week on the seas!

Happy to report that Dale has actually maintained his weight for 2 days! YIPPEE! Marcy checked in with Dale's surgeon this past week and they were not alarmed at the weight loss. Given that Dale's appetite is off, they would expect him to lose weight. Surgeon's staff was thrilled that Dale's small bowel obstruction didn't require surgery to correct.

Dale is working with a physcial therapist at home to rebuild his strength. Dale reports that he's actually tasting food again and thinks he's finally on the rebound! Good thing for him, he only has a month to get in "CRUISING SHAPE!"

Dale has a full day of appointments at MD Anderson on Wednesday. They will drive to Pearland on Tuesday and stay at the Rotary House because the first appointment on Wednesday is at 8am and the last appointment is at 2:30pm. LONG DAY!

Jackie is celebrating her 75th birthday! Diamond Lady!

Fingers, toes, etc - - - - crossed for a great doctor's appointment on Wednesday!
