On Monday I was admitted to the Hospital to get a chest tube implanted in my lung, which drains fluid from my right lung and allows me to breath without great strain. While the first 24 hours were painful and scary, I feel much better now, much better.
My dad is of course here with me and we expect to get discharged on Saturday. We'll then be in great shape for my resurgence and training!
I miss Liza, Emi (Liza's sister) and the kids, a lot. I have such wonderful incentives to build strength and get well. Sometimes My dad and I feel we're in Mission Impossible, but actually this is Mission Possible with no problems, just opportunities to improve myself.
I miss you, honey, and can't wait to return HOME!

David,
You just keep on truckin' my friend. This is Mission Very Possible and how much smoother it will go now that you feel better with the tube!
You are loved, missed and we send you lots of big hugs!
Love
Caren
P.S. - Jake now blows kisses, too, and I'm sure he's sending some your way!
It is totally possible!! Quite a mission - but we know that you will beat it. Keep fighting. We love you!
Love, Becky and Alan
This is a Mission that will be POSSIBLE. If anyone can do it, it is you and your incredible family. Love Diane & Joey
David - We are glad that you got the tube and are breathing better! We echo the thoughts of everyone else when we say we know that this mission will be possible and successful! Keep on moving forward dear friend. Lots of love - Halley, Jen & Eli
You CAN do it, David! We hope you are feeling better and that it is easier for you to breathe. We are fighting for you in our prayers and how we live our life every day.

David,
Glad to hear the tube has brought you some clean, clear breath. You are incredible. We think of you and your family constantly. Keep feeing better.
Love, David and Sally
Lots of love! The Cyrs, including little miss Katie, who decided to start walking last week and hasn't stopped since!
David, although we've never met, knowing your family makes me feel as though I know you too.
I continue to be so inspired by your strength and positive attitiude. There IS no other way and you are an inspiration to all!
We wish you strength and our well wishes.
Out here in California, we continue to be in touch with Elizabeth on a regular basis.

Keep Fighting On.
Much love,

Did you know that "impossible" really spells "I'M POSSIBLE" - ?! You ARE possible, anything's possible, you will it, it will happen. Stay strong!!!
It has been great to see L, E and R this week (how big is little Reedy?!) at Turtle Park. All that's truly missing is your smiling face.
Head down, TCB, my friend. The POSSIBILITIES are endless!!!

Lots of turns there have been, but through it all you've fought on with determination -- there's no stopping you now. Can't wait until you're home.
