A message from David... I wanted to update you on my health.&nbsp; This past week has been surreal and unbelievable.&nbsp; I have always been blessed with great health and have not missed a day of work in 15 years.&nbsp; For me to discover that I had a brain tumor was shocking. From a timeline perspective, I was in Waco the beginning of May celebrating my oldest daughter's graduation from Baylor.&nbsp; &nbsp; I then traveled to Salt Lake City on business.&nbsp; During the end of my trip, I began to experience some fatigue and headaches.&nbsp; When I returned home (Friday 5/18), I went to the doctor thinking I was suffering from a sinus infection.&nbsp; The doctor prescribed sinus medication and encouraged&nbsp; me to get some rest.&nbsp; Throughout the weekend my condition deteriorated.&nbsp; On Monday (5/21) I returned to the doctor and after a brief exam he encouraged us to go to the ER in The Woodlands.&nbsp; The next day (Tuesday 5/22), I had an MRI which revealed I had a tumor on my brain.&nbsp; Wednesday (5/23), I was transferred from The Woodlands to The Medical Center in Houston.&nbsp; I underwent successful surgery on my brain Thursday (5/24), came home on Saturday (5/26) and am now on the road to recovery.&nbsp; Sherrene and I went back for a follow up visit with my neurosurgeon on Tuesday (5/29).&nbsp; We were given the news that this was indeed a malignant tumor.&nbsp; Wednesday (5/30), I visited a leading oncologist at MD Anderson.&nbsp; Based upon the preliminary pathology report, it appears I have an aggressive form of brain cancer (GBM, glioblastoma multiforme).&nbsp; The treatment plan is to have my stitches removed Tuesday (6/5), see a radiologist oncologist and them begin a 4-6 week series of radiation and chemo. This month, I celebrated my 15 year anniversary with David Weekley Homes.&nbsp; I remember during my interview process, I told David that I wanted to finish my career at DWH.&nbsp; It's been a blessing and incredibly rewarding experience. I have strong faith in a mighty God and know that I will be healed.&nbsp; My goal is to have a total healing and come back better and stronger than ever.&nbsp; God's hand has been on me throughout this process and I know HE will restore my health and life.&nbsp;&nbsp; My family and I are humbled and appreciated of the prayers, love support and well wishes from our friends, team members and the entire Weekley family.&nbsp; We will keep everyone informed on my health and recovery. Blessings,&nbsp; David Hale
