Great News!!!

It's the best Thanksgiving we've ever had:  Dave got off the ventilator about an hour before we arrived at the hospital today and has even been able to say a very few words, among them "Mary" (as in Trunk) and "Dave Landry", to find out if they were in the loop, which they most certainly are.  His first words to me were, upon my greeting him with "Dave, I'm so glad to see you!", "Glad to be here."  His throat is very sore and he is quite weak, so we didn't go much beyond establishing what hurt and what did not, but he is very much with us!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Dave.....Mike Martin asked me to pass along to you to the message that you should feel free to continue to use his afghan as long as necessary.
Also, that he can't believe it...and neither can his mother.
