Dear Annette,
I hope Dave is recovering well. When will you know for certain? If/when you find out anything, could you post to this thread and keep us apprised of his condition?
Thank you so very much.
With love to you both and very best wishes,
-Frank

It was a tough weekend for me in BV- I did some packing, and had to make several calls on people who may be able to help in regard to helping with the move, taking the dog, and helping me with keeping the place looking decent if it goes up for sale soon. I kept bursting into tears, as I feel so torn with all this. Dave is so weak, he can do almost nothing. He is still losing weight at an alarming rate, can't seem to get hydrated no matter how much he drinks, and with the foods he must eat for the next while, even the dog food looks and smells good to him. There were a couple of times though that I caught the old twinkle in his eye, and after I wiped my silent tears, I told him that those are the times that I live for. I fear that we may be in need of the wheelchair again soon if he doesn't start to improve soon.
Thank you all for your prayers and messages of support. I will keep you updated, but right now, things don't look too good- none of his treatments seem to be taking any effect yet. Everytime you eat a candy bar, cereal, milk, wheat, bread, sugar, anything really, say a prayer for Dave.  thanks. Annette
ps.. I will update my profile with my e-mail, but will not have time to respond to everyone except here from time to time. God Bless

Thank you for the updates Annette. Many prayers and VIBES are going out from my family for yours.
Dave, like I said before, take care of you and get better. Your family there and here needs you around.
We are all pulling for you.
PS....stay away from the cat food, they tend to get mean when you try to take their food from them and I don't think you would look to good with claw marks on your face.
Get well soon
Dave

Do me a favour Annette,
Tell Dave there is a picture to be hung, oh and maybe mention something like you can't do it... 
By God Dave I know you have that fight in you, with the support you've got you have no other choice but to win.

LOL Cat, thanks, I needed that. Unfortunately, been there, done that, didn't work. Didn't even generate much of a response. He really is at a low point. Will let everyone know how he's doing later today.

Like Bec said, I wish I lived near you, I would be there everyday helping you as much as I could.
Leesa had a great idea yesterday, we should all move into a big compound and call it Clusterville, that way we could be there for one another all the time.
Dave would be Mayor
Jimi would be law inforcement.
Jonny would be security for the barn that would be full of imitrex and o2.
It's nice to dream isn't it.
You are both in my prayers dear.
Love Jayne

Hi all. I just got off the phone with Dave. He SOUNDS better today.. still has no get up and go at all, but just the lifted spirit in his voice made me feel better. He said if he can he will be checking in tonight or tomorrow, so I will let him tell you any more. We thank you all for your prayers messages sent to me encouraging me through this as well. We DO have angels in the architecture here. Love Annette

Thanks for the updates on Dave. I am praying for a speedy recovery for him and for strength for you. While you are taking care of people and things, don't forget to take care of yourself. Let us know if there is anything either you or Dave needs.

Dear Family!
I come back these boards and see what has been going on, and it's beyond anything I could ever ask for. To see those who believe in fasting and prayer as I do, then especially those who may not be of the same faith but still are willing to go to any lengths to help another, just amazes me to no end!
Had I not seen any immediate results this Sunday, I would still have been sure they would come in some form, I share that faith. I may or may not get physical healing, but we shall see overtime.
But! What happened to me Sunday? I slept almost the whole day! I haven't had more than 3 hours sleep in any 24 hour period for longer than I can remember! If you knew how much a blessing this alone was! But wait ... there's more! When I did wake up, there were calls on my answering machine. All concerning things that I've tried so hard not to let stress me these days, as stress is my biggest enemy right now in order for me to win this battle. Calls included:
A possible good home for our dog, Keno is part of our family; we know we have to let him go which is very hard, but it will be best for him and selfish of us to keep him when we can't give the attention he needs.  but 
A call from someone who might be interested in buying our home ... we haven't even listed it yet, nor knew how we'd move things.
Then a call of help to move both our house and storage from those we used to work with at the local Mission and Habitat for Humanity!
Another call about getting a local youth group to come over and do an overhaul on our front and back yards to make the house look sellable!
These are the calls I got while of all things ... sleeping!
Then Annette got a couple calls back in Denver. Some very dear friends have already sent her some very gracious funds to help us through. (I just found this out, I was on the phone all day trying to organize payment plans for bills, with not as much luck as I had hoped, but that is now solved.) 
Each of these things are areas that I've tried so hard not to stress about, because my doctor had already told me, with the failing immune system, stress is one of the biggest factors in surviving or not. I would say these are answers far more than I could have expected and these blessings are because of all of you and your caring strength and faith.
I may not be healing physically, but maybe it's more important I heal mentally first?
Jonny, I fought my way out of the wheelchair not long ago, and I'll fight just as hard to stay out of it again. Cat, tell me “I can't” and you know I will, (you know me too well ), but Annette makes me absolutely promise her I won't attempt some things, if she didn't ... well ... I would be, so that's tough. Donna, what can I say to you for starting all this? I'm speechless now, but will be writing you very soon, and many others. Might take me a bit, but know I'll be writing as many of you as I can. If it takes a while, know it means it's because I'm finally getting some rest thanks to ALL of you. Around the world at that!
This family never ceases to amaze me ... Never!
I thank you all so much for your care and I want to make sure you know that your prayers, fasting and support has made huge differences all in one day that will also have lasting results to carry us into whatever the future may hold.
God Bless you all!
Dave
(Somehow, Annette and I will ... “Pay it Forward!”)
