Before & After

Right before surgery:






In PACU after surgery:


Dave is doing great! We are back at the Mologne House and he is playing on the Wii!

Halo Surgery

Friday morning Dave will be going into surgery to have the halo removed, here is a look back on the last 7 months:

Branching Out

Wii's for Warriors has really taken off, we have given out 9 so far (That's close to $4,000 worth)! Dave and I are always looking for new ways to help out around here, so we have been talking with a few guys around the mologne house who sit around and play guitar at night. We decided to start up a jam session/classes for guys in the hospital and the MH. We are going to look into buying a few used guitars and getting this going within the next week. This would be extremely helpful for guys who have played before and may have lost an arm or hand and are learning to play again with the other hand. Also it provides a soldier with any injury an opportunity to get together with others with a common interest.

Super Talk Mississippi Radio

This morning Dave was featured on the Paul Gallo Show at 8 am, here is the link, I think you might be able to hear a clip.

New Years Eve

Home for the Holidays

Dave and I have been at home in Diamondhead since Dec. 21. Dave has been on the golf course pretty much every day that it has not rained. Most days he has played all 18 holes!

We are heading back to Walter Reed on the 5th!

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas!

Updates

Things have been crazy around here, I have been busy with Wii's for Warriors and Dave has had lots of appointments along with PT/OT. Last Friday we drove down to Andrews AFB to see the guys at the EOD shop, thats how I got the pictures of the landmine. Then Saturday we went to a Military Order of the Purple Heart Christmas lunch. Saturday night we went out to dinner and Sunday we just laid low due to the freezing cold rain we always seem to have around here.

Dave got some great news on his halo, 2 rings may be coming off in February! And the whole thing might follow soon after!
