We got great news today! The doctors gave David a weekend pass home!! YIPPEE!! He gets to go home on Friday night and stay in Galt until Sunday afternoon! We are all so excited! He hasn't stopped smiling since they told him that today in clinic! He is over the moon with happiness! It is just great.... I am so happy to see him happy. We are unsure of how often he will be allowed weekend passes, but even if it is just this once it is soooo worth it. Our friend the nurse thinks it will probably only be twice a month even though David is hoping for every weekend! But still something is better then nothing! I can't wait for us all to be home even if it is just for two days! This is so exciting! And they cleared him to swim, which was another awesome thing, especially since it has been so hot up here! So he is just smiles all around. Since we didn't have a biopsy today it was a quick visit... and we got home by lunch time!!

Precious Heavenly Father thank you so much for providing us with such good news today and giving David the uplift that he has so desperately needed and that only you could provide. I pray that you provide for us a safe weekend ahead that nothing will go wrong and that he will listen to his mind and body and not over do. I also pray that you will help me to relax and not be a nervous wreck all weekend worrying about him since we will be outside of the Stanford net. Please help me release the caterpillar as he starts to turn into the beautiful butterfly. In his precious name.... AMEN.
