10:30 D.C. time

Oh, did we say we are learning to be flexible????? Am I a teacher who has to be flexible all the time????? Well, we just went up to see David, and....
When we got to the elevators, I pushed floor 5 (where David was supposed to go), Steve (pessimistic??/realistic????) pushed floor 4 (where David has been), "just to make sure". He got off, I stayed on (for a minute longer) and then we walked to Ward 45C. His name was on the board still, ohh... and.....he was still in the room! Steve wins again!!! They were "afraid" to receive him on the fifth floor, without someone to be one on one with him, or in a room right next to the nurses station. Oh well, we like the 4th floor nurses and doctors! His heart rate also jumped up to the high 140s this evening, so I guess he does need to stay there a tad bit longer.
Before we turned our car in on Tues., we drove David's and my suitcases down to the aerovac dept. so I wouldn't have to walk it down at 4:30 AM. So, after seeing David asleep on the 4th floor, Steve and I went downstairs to the aerovac dept.. I decided to get my suitcase out of storage, since we now might be here through Mondayish. When we asked for it, and explained why, the lady in charge said the flight might be on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, flexible is as flexible does.........? Wow! Good night! Thanks for hanging in there with us! Check out the new pictures of David's Recovery on the blog too. :-) Patty

We love the pictures!!! It's good to see him again. I know you were mixed on posting them but seeing the pictures is better than what we had envisioned in our heads.

Hey Huddleston's we love the pictures of David. Reality is good. Stay strong and keep the faith. Right now it appears a huge test is being given to all. We are praying with you every step of the way. It was quite ironic to read your blog as Patty that is what I wanted to talk to you about. When you have a min. Know we are thinking about you and tell David we love him. Lisa Anderson & Family

How our earthly life changes in the twinkling of an eye! (or faster)! My prayer is for your health and endurance and peace as parents. I pray and believe that David is aware of God's presence and the Heavenly Angels Encamped around him. I pray the Great Healer touches him in of course a supernatural way for all to see. DM

Hi Huddleston Family!! Thanks for posting the pictures. We are still praying and thinking of you all daily. Good job, Patty and Steve, on working with David and making him stronger each day. May God give you the strength and endurance you need as you continue to fight with David.

Hugs, love, and Prayers,

Thanks for sending the picture of David! I think he looks good! Good thing that God has had you in a flexible job so you could be used to being ready at any time. God gives us enough strength for just one day at a time. Give each other a bear hug and know that we love you all.
Prayers as always,
Violet and Randy
