David’s Story

Site created on September 5, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We want to keep family and friends updated on Dave's journey back to good health.  We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. During the last few weeks, Dave hadn't been feeling well. He had been experiencing muscle cramps in his legs & feet, pain in his right leg, & loss of appetite... feeling generally crummy. Early in the morning on Friday, 8-31-18, he fell onto the bedroom floor & couldn't get up, resulting in an ambulance ride to the Fargo VA. Shortly after arrival, Dave began experiencing hallucinations & showing signs of stroke. He was transferred to Sanford Health in West Fargo, where he is today.

Haven't posted for such a long time! 

Dave completed a small welding project. It took him a couple of days because he needed to take rest breaks. This project represents his determination to return to some kind of normalcy after being so sick for so long. He has also planted a small vegetable garden, with a little assistance from family. We are all so proud of his efforts. Thank you to family and friends for your prayers and encouragement. He's not 100% yet, but has gained the mobility to allow him to rejoin his community & resume doing things he loves to do. God bless us all!
