Heath doesn’t want me to take a pic of him right now, so he let me share this fun Nationals treat that just arrived with the cousins from Virginia and the awesome Blue Devil painting by one of his good buddies…(note—he is not eating the candy quite yet ). We don’t have much new information, still waiting on lots of answers, but we’ve had so many folks asking that I thought I would let you know how he’s doing. He has had a few rest/recovery days. Heath is much more his “usual self” today, and we’re settling in to watch MLB play on the Field of Dreams this evening. He even has tentatively enjoyed a little of his fav Panera and Noodles & Co.

Obviously we would love to be elsewhere eating our favs and watching mlb, but today we’re finding joy in being able to do it in general. We probably won’t post again until we have more concrete info. For now, please know that your love and support and offers for help and meals are fervent reminders of the gift of community, that none of us are alone in the hard places (or the softer ones) in life.
