visit to Maine Med, and a hike

David visited his Dad at Maine Med in Portland, catching a ride to and from with friends. It was a bit of a stretch to go, but he was very glad to be with his dad who will likely be coming home Monday. David's thinking and physical ability have improved steadily over the past week, and he is now quite able bodied again! Amazing. Yesterday on the way home from Portland, he and his friend Anne from Boston made a stop at Bradbury Mountain (which perhaps is really a hill), and did the 1/4 mile hike! This is quite a change from not being able to walk at all without support 10 days ago, and using a walker for everything a week ago!! He still has a deep cough, and is confused at times, but once again is living more than dying as much as we can tell.

I had some nourishing chuncks of time alone while he was away, so I'm living a bit more fully too. And it's really good to have David back as much as he is, for now.
