Thought I would update a bit on how Dave is doing. His appetite is very slowly improving, he still eats a lot of cream of wheat (everything tastes really bad) He has successfully eaten some very, very small meals. He has started to eat the pudding and jello cups again, he even tried to eat some cookies and a donut to no avail. He experiences dryness of the mouth when eating. He said he will wait for those. He still drinks the ensure for weight gain three times a day, sometimes four. I am seriously thinking about buying the one to help with the muscle strength. Everything that Dave eats for the time being has to be soft, and he eats something every few hours.
Tommys birthday was April 1st, we got him an ice cream cake from DQ, Dave had a small piece of it and did OK. He says chocolate has a really off taste (he says he doesn't know how to describe it), the coldness did not bother him though. He will be trying more ice cream in small amounts, just not chocolate!
Daves energy level is still very low as well as his strength and stamina. This is slowly building up and he says he is going to start doing some very light workouts to help get his strength up.
Dave changed the oil and oil filter on his bike Thursday, it was a beautiful day here, in the mid 60's. He even washed it! I took my truck in to the shop for some work that day and it had to have the brake lines to the rear wheels replaced and a sensor of some kind. Dave picked me up on his bike and brought me home to wait for the repairs to be done. Later that evening he went for a very short ride. I do believe that he needed that after all of whats happening. He came back refreshed. Although the next day though he did take it very easy and relaxed.
We just learned that a good friend of ours is not doing well. We pray that he will be OK. Thank you for listening, God Bless each and everyone of you. We love you all.
