Today was a better day for all of us! Mom was able to move and stretch David's right and left side around more easily today. He seemed more relaxed. His fever went down with the Tylenol- another praise! OT and PT came by to check on David, but there wasn't any new news or anything to report about that. Also, a new Neuro team cam by and observed David and did a few of their stimulation tests. His toes still pulled up instead of curling down when they "tickled" them, which they call innapropriate movement. They just reminded mom that we need to be patient and wait this recovery out.
David isn't quite ready to go to Palo Alto tomorrow as he still needs to be checked on pretty frequently, so it's been postponed. I know a lot of you have mentioned road trips to see David and we can't wait for that. For those of you wondering, though, it does sound like visitors will be able to come after he's there for about a week or two- when his tests are done. We promise to keep you posted!!
Our spirits were up again today, mom said she felt peaceful and uplifted! Thanks for those prayers! She mentioned how great it was to see how strong our family's faith has been and how it continues to grow, even during this time. She was also able to meet some new families at her house and they had encouraging stories and were very inspiring to her. She also wanted me to thank you all again for all of your support- I would have thanked you even if she didn't tell me to! :o) She's so thankful for and amazed at the amount of people praying and who are thinking of and missing David. Even his dentist! She's thankful that her house is still running (and her classroom!) and all of her neighbors and friends who are taking care of things while she's gone.
I can't express how grateful we are as a family to have y'all on our team as we fight David's battle in prayer! Please continue to be our backbone and pray so hard for David's peace, and his ability to keep fighting as hard as he can. And keep praying for his doctors in DC as well as in Palo Alto, that they'll get their wisdom from our God and know exactly how to work with David as he recovers.
God is faithful!

Another blessed day! I am so thankful to hear about David's hard work. In time you will be in CA. We will wait and be as patient as we must. I know David is in the best hands, and HE will not let us down. Keep up the fight, be strong and contiue to show the doctors what a truly awesome kid you are. We all love you and the prayers will continue. Our love to you all...Lisa Anderson and Family.....Oh and by the way we love the updated pictures. What a handsome, and wonderful young man you are. And those eyes...Love you
We are so enjoying the new pictures of David, particularly the one of him doing a hand stand on the rocks by the ocean! What a great smile he has! Remember all those good times God has given. They will encourage you in the days ahead. We are praying.

Even though I don't post a comment every day, I am checking on David's progress and praying for you all. It's a blessing to me to see what a great family you are and I'm sure that David's good progress is due to your devotion and prayer and trust in God, and I guess the doctors get some credit too. I know it's hard to think of what good could come of this, but I think there is a lot that you don't even know about. You are all on my mind and in my prayers....love you, Penny and John

We will see David in Palo Alto no matter what. May have to crawl thru heating, a/c ducts, but we WILL see him. But we are paraying for his healing, and that we will see him legally.
