Looking Good Dennis Davis

Today marks the three week anniversary of the heart valve replacement and bypass surgery, and meanwhile, back at "Sunset Serenade" his home on Padgett Road, Dennis continues to get stronger every day! The nurse and physical therapist were here for four visits this week. He got an A plus on his physical therapy today (I have been doing the exercises with him--and they are challenging!), and he also received a great report from the nurse this week.

The doctors are still working to adjust his warfarin levels, so we sought out an antidote for the rather high level the lab results reported today. Clad in his Scottish tam, warm jacket, and scarf, he stepped in to a warm car and we managed a "get away" to Wendy's drive thru. Back at home, we indulged as we devoured an apple pecan salad with Dennis choosing the healthy choice of dressing. He definitely earns an a plus, plus in nutrition. He has really made some significant changes and his discipline in making healthy choices is encouraging!

Dennis has been encouraged to stay in for a few more weeks. The last thing the doctors say that he needs is to contract the flu or another illness. We have actually enjoyed the quiet; although, Dennis has been able to watch some sports and "catch up" on the news! We are addicted to Jeopardy; and, Dennis is quite good!

The Lord has been gracious to bring healing, peace, and especially patience to both of us. We can only praise His holy name for all that He is teaching us.

Yesterday we read Psalm 121 and were reminded that our help comes from the Lord. As we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the one who authors and perfects our faith, we trust that He who began a mighty work in us will continue...

To say that this journey has been challenging would certainly be an understatement. However, it has been filled with the joy of the LORD throughout its entirety. We truly appreciate all that you have done to make it a bit easier for Dennis along the way!

We are both very grateful to all of you for your cards, emails, telephone calls, and visits.
Dennis' mailing address is: PO Box 242, Lattimore, NC 29089 [he loves receiving cards!], and his landline is 704-434-6691. He still has some difficulty talking, but the inflammation seems some better today!

Most of all, we thank you for your constant prayers!

In God's amazing, eternal "hand-tailored" grace,
Donna
