Moving Day - Sunday November 16

Well - Dave was promoted! (Or as Bill says -- "demoted" to a lower floor!) Picked Sister Lin up at the airport this morning and we headed to the hospital. Dave was sitting in his chair and the doctor informed me he was leaving ICU today! Tim visited an hour today after church. He and Dave had quite the conversation about many different topics. By 4 PM, Dave was moved to a corner suite - room 726. This room actually has 3 large recliners, and one person is even allowed to sleep there! What a concept! It has a shower, a closet, a nightstand, and a sink. Very posh. There's even a picture on the wall. Of course, this is making Dave even more anxious about getting out of the hospital ASAP. He still has the central line IV left - it's the last connection. He's still a little fuzzy, gets very tired after a short time, and has a serious neck ache. All normal they tell me! Lin and I were invited to Bill and Cindy's for dinner and we had a wonderful meal (as usual). It was nice for me to be back home last night - having stayed in the hotel downtown since last Thursday.

Marie, it's times like this that remind us all how precious and fragile life can be. I'm so pleased that Dave is making a speedy, miraculous recovery. As the leader of your Oracle SC family may our teams combined strength, prayers and best wishes be with you both. Sounds like Sunday was a step along the way to the hotel door and home (oh, and it sounds lot nicer than my crappy hotel room for tonight - three recliners - yikes, that must be the hospital presidentail suite..

All the very, very best to the both of you. Hope you enjoy the basket and take what time you need - family comes first. There will still be plenty of Oracle waiting for you when you are ready to come back...
