Hi friends & family,

I wanted to share a short update that recovery at home continues to go great for Dan!  He was able to steadily decrease his oxygen each day since being home.  Much to our surprise, he was able to go off oxygen completely last Saturday!  We've been watching how that goes and it has been good!  Dan has not needed to go back.  He is slowly increasing his daily physical activity as his strength allows.  It still feels like it'll take some time to get energy back, but even that continues to improve.  (Bed time is 9-10 instead of 8pm!)  To celebrate, we went for a nice drive to see some fall leaves!  (We took along portable oxygen just incase!)  Dan loved being able to drive again!  He was able to get out and go for a short walk to take some pictures with me.  😄He has also resumed doing some light cooking, which he really enjoys.  (Chef Dan will be back in full force soon!)  While leaving, one of his nurses recommended drinking "golden milk" which may help with inflammation.  He is now off steroids and has been drinking this daily.  (It's turmeric, cinnamon, honey, coconut oil, milk, and ginger.  He enjoys it!)  Getting back to 100% will take more time and we're going forward slowly and surely!  Thank you again for thinking of us, sending love and prayers.
