Thought I would send out an update on how Dave has progressed since his appetite and taste has started to make a comeback. Things are going very well, Daves taste buds seem to be awakening, slowly of course and he is eating very well. He eats pretty much everything he did before his radiation treatments started. He has even started eating peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, woohoo! Dave is still not able to eat some foods, they just don't taste right or it's to spicy or dry. He keeps trying though.
Dave has also been busy outside to, we had bought a shed last fall to put up and that was not done. I can say that it is up and the overflow from the garage has started moving in (with help from us). I am hoping that I am able to pull my truck in the garage next winter, that would be nice :-) He has also started mowing the yard, maybe not as fast as he used to do it, but he is doing it. These are just some of the things that he is doing and not exhausting himself lately. He still gets tired, but is able to do more as the days go on.
We celebrated Daves 50Th birthday at the end of April. We had a party for him with family and a few friends at his sister Julies home. There was lots of good food, cake and fun. She has a pool and the weather cooperated (80 degrees), the kids were able to swim and a good time was had by all.
Thanks Julie & Don.

Dave hopes to return to work on May 20Th, he says he is ready. He is stir crazy here at home and he keeps doing things to help build his stamina up. I love him dearly and have enjoyed this time together but I to am ready for him to go back to work.
Dave will be having a petscan and a ct scan before he goes back to work. He will see the ENT the end of May and the radiation dr. in June. Lets hope that the treatments dissolved the tumor completely.
On Sunday I had made a delicious meal of marinated grilled chicken (he grilled), stuffing (stove top), gravy, green beans and salad. He ate it all! While we were cleaning up he walked over to me, kissed me on the cheek and said dinner was good! Dave then turned and went outside to continue working on the shed. It took me a moment to realize that he had tasted his supper. I started to cry, the kids saw this and realized it to. I was so very happy to hear him say that after not hearing it for almost 3 months.
Thank you for listening. God Bless, we love you all.
