There was so much going on in Dea’s world today! And so many images came across the wire during the adventure… Rather than writing a long narrative update, let’s try today’s news in the style of a graphic novel, and let some of the day’s images speak for themselves.
Dea claims that she can now flap, swing, and throw much more freely without those pesky stitches. I mean, just in case you’re wondering what you might do if you visit over the next few days…
People who witnessed this production will attest that she covered rest, exercise, and party all in this one move. Very nice.
One more thing!
Late this morning, CarolAnn sent the following message:
Aloha Matt ~
I am contacting you on the QT. Because of the nourishing generosity of Dea’s gang, she is eating more than she has in a very long time. She now eats whole meals, instead of nibbling like a little bird.
I am wondering what you think of asking her Meal Train to keep chugging along for awhile longer. Building up her physical strength by eating more and gaining weight will definitely help her immune system work its magic.
Of course Dea and Peter would never ask for this, but I know the steady of supply of love and food from their friends will make an enormous difference in their ability to continue on this healing journey.
Please let me know what you think.
Mahalo,
~ CarolAnn
Dea had also told me that she’s sleeping and eating more than she has in a long time, and she’s super grateful for all the generous support of food and love from all of you. What do y’all think? Could we extend the food drive for another month? I’m told that the every-other-day cadence is just about right, and so I just went to extend the meal sign-up sheet through the end of July. Would you be willing to sign up for a Perry meal? The sign up sheet is here.
