Today David looked and felt well. His blood crits were holding steady, and the doctors think his inner bleeding has stopped. For some periods during the day he can now get unhooked from his IV lines, and has taken a few walks outside in the beautiful spring weather. He says it revives him, and that he can feel the healing influence of the sun on his body. This evening he looked very stylish in his hospital gown, as he and I went for a stroll at the edge of Beacon Hill. We paused in front of the Liberty hotel, admiring the soft light of late afternoon, (ignoring the looks from the posh crowd in the open air hotel bar).
While David now seems to be doing much better, it is important to note that his health issues are complex and many. There is no magic fix to his present situation, and whether or not he will flourish will depend on many factors. While we are relieved that things are looking good right now, we are in no way in the clear. But we welcome every success along this arduous walk towards healing.
Peace and love,
Monika
If I can remember back to the old Mass Art days, David has the legs to sport a hospital gown in public. If you got it flaunt it....

The visual of Dave and Monika walking along arm in arm with the tails of Dave's hospital gown flapping in the breeze at about the same speed as the wagging tongues of the bar patrons brings a smile to my face. Only Dave could pull this off with such aplomb! Blessings to you both.
