Message From David

Dear Blog Readers,
It is hard for me to put into words what the interest and concern from each of you has meant to Sheri and to me. There was such meaning and support expressed to us with every entry. We read comments from so many people - close friends and those who we didn't really know very well - and it strengthened us. This blog allowed family and friends to participate in this journey and be inspired by Sheri's strength, but at a comfortable distance.
Have you ever cried so much that your eyes are just dry? Well, that's how I have felt sometimes over the past few months. My emotions were so raw at times that I couldn't always read the blog, but every time I did, I drew strength from you. Thank you all for your love and support.
Sincerely,
David Faught

November 13, 2009

Today Sheri's earthly journey ended. Although she is gone, her positive influence will be felt in our lives as we have become better for having known her. During her illness, we all drew strength from her positive attitude in the face of such adversity. Our prayers are with her family during this time.

Friday

I had the stent surgery yesterday, as scheduled. I came right home and went to sleep. I am very weak and tired and I'm sleeping a lot. It is too early for me to know how the new positioning of these drains is working.
I am almost unable to talk on the phone and visitors are really hard to have right now. I know many people are praying for me and I thank you for those prayers.

Monday

It is another day and I am still having a lot of pain, which I have come to expect. It is hard to tell, but I think it is worse today than even a few days ago. I have spent some time resting and some time up today. I am still scheduled to go in for the surgery to redo my stents on Thursday. David thinks I'm too weak to have it, and can see his point, I am pretty weak right now. But if the doctors will let me, I'm inclined to do it. I don't know, things change from day to day. We'll see what this week brings.
