David and Robyn-
Loved the recent post photo of you Robyn! You look wonderful and you brought tears to my eyes just looking at your beautiful bright eyes, complexion and the nice looking incision that looks quite like it is healing up beautifully! We are all so very much happy to know you are leaving the ICU(or have left) and going to LTAC Facility. So much chance for some pretty great changes for you and David! Hope the leg is healing up well too and can't wait to hear about your continued progress. It has been a long, difficult time for you both and you were blessed to be so well taken care of in the hospital and can look forward to great care at the LTAC as David will allow nothing less! Wow, Woman......Are you loved! Congrats on the move!

Thank God Robyn is progressing in a positive direction! All you both need is about 10 more good days like that, and she will be on her way out of the hospital! Still sending daily prayers, but I am an impatient person! I can't even imagine how tired Robyn is of that bed! Kudos to you both for your stamina and endurance!

David and Robyn-First thank you for the update. Just so you know- You have a great many people in this Heart Community along for the ride here with you both as you continue on your journey for as long as you are taking it and not a moment less. Both of you have become one of the greatest love stories I have ever heard or read about. I continue to feel that one day soon her body will be able to settle into a healing direction and that less medication and better oxygen intake will give her what she needs to make progress
enough to continue your story of which this event in her life and yours is now a part of. As difficult as this is for the two of you (and yes most of us don't have a clue of this) I also have met many people since I began my HVS story who have gone through many changes and some difficulties and worked their way through them or ARE STILL
working their way through. None so Heart touching so far as yours and Robyn's but my Faith tells me that this story is far from over and that you two are climbing a much tougher path where you are fighting the fight as well as teaching all of us a great many lessons. I thank you from the bottom, middle, top of my mended Heart for all of the love and understanding, obvious concern and pain at times as well as Faith in taking this journey with each other as it comes...one day at a time. My wish for you today is that you get a chance to both feel all our love and prayers, get rested when you need it most, be nourished, be able to communicate to one another as these long days stretch into night and you both are able to believe that in the great Universe, God is watching over you both.

Robyn and David- Whatever time it takes.....you can't rush it you have to do whatever it takes(as you have been all along) to get to that healing place where Robyn can move forward- and you two can continue on with your lives. It has to be so difficult on you both to get from one place to another- one step forward and then the changes that keep coming on that you have to roll forward with to do what is right for Robyn.
It touches all of our hearts as your Journey together continues to highlight the love you share and the strength it takes in your fight to move forward. Robyn is becoming such a "star" in her strength and determination-a beacon in the night for those in recovery to know that recovery goes in many different stages for us all and that it is
important to feel and share the love we have for one another, continue on with the Faith that each and every day is worth the fight to face whatever obstacles are placed before us and not to give up......I am so proud of you both and pleased to have a Heart Sister such as Robyn. I, along with our community will follow your journey with positive thoughts and energy directed towards you both...with prayers that improvement is within reach for Robyn each and every day and that peace finds her sleeping soundly late into the wee hours in the night while her body becomes stronger and stronger. Love to you both!

Hi David! You are so right. No one knows Robyn better than you. And any time you have a question or concern, you are right to bring it to her doctors attention and to keep doing so until you are comfortable with what they tell you. I know she is depending on you to make the best decisions possible for her. You are a remarkable man David! We will keep praying for you wisdom, discernment, and strength. We will pray for rest for both of you, and for a complete healing for Robyn

David and Robyn- Thanks for another well informed update to us about Robyn.
Hopeful that each day will get better for you both. I am hoping that with the people that are visiting/ the hospital is keeping a sharp eye on making sure it doesn't get to busy with people from "outside" to continue to prevent infection from picking up colds or one of the many viruses that have been around these past few months. I am sure having company is good but you two have been through so much and I want you both to be able to move forward so you can get home! Well, It is almost 5:00 am on Mother's Day Morning and I am up early and thought of you two and your Team. Happy Mother's Day to all today!

One day, months from now.......maybe even weeks from now you both will realize how your love and faith have touched so many hearts around the world with your dedication and perseverance through all that you have gone through together.

Well David and Robyn, Today is overcast and rainy (just a bit) in the valley but we will have heat again soon. I spent last night thinking of you both and hoping that your night went smoothly....calm and no surprises so that you were both able to
sleep well. I hope too that maybe Robyn was able to get some fresh air again today, that you were able to give her another kiss while visiting and that you remain steady in your faith and confidence as you have from the beginning of this journey.
Your love for one another coupled with your Faith together will see you through what lies ahead. Sending continued prayers for you both to see success in the days ahead in a rise in healing of her body and to added strength to you both.

Robin and David.... It was good to read that Robyn got a chance to get outside for
some fresh air. Just getting out of the ICU would seem to be great for her. I would imagine any sights, smells, sounds along with some sunshine and fresh air would
bring a little joy within her and maybe tomorrow they will have a chance to get even stronger.
David, you don't have to ask for us to continue with prayers as I am sure that since Robyn's surgery they have not wavered as we are a community and our hearts and thoughts are intertwined with yours and Robyn's with prayers for Friday to be a day of great healing and change for the better in her condition. You have the love and prayers of many as does the teams of the people caring for your Wife. God Bless each and everyone involved in seeing you and Robyn through this next challenge. Fresh air, sunshine, change of scenery and a day ending with a loving Kiss. I hope tomorrow brings some good changes and strength to you both.

Good Evening (Morning when you read this) from Arizona. I understand a bit about that upper left leg wound. My is on the right side and has healing issues for other reasons but I get the frustration. It's can also be a tricky area to heal as it is in an area that moves, and may also have various degrees of heat and moisture. I will be praying for a great outcome from the surgery tomorrow. I also understand your frustration with not being able to kiss her. Here again, a different circumstance, but the same wait. Our grandson was born last October, 6 weeks early. Because he wasso tiny and it was cold and flu season, we were not allowed to kiss him till he was at least 6 weeks old. It is a tough thing to do, but is well worth the wait, and I am sure that your Robyn is waiting for that time for that first kiss as well. I will pray also for a good night of rest for both of you, and for more times spent outside in the warm spring sun.
May God bless you both and restore Robyn to full health in a short period of time. David, you are quite a man. They don't make many like you anymore! Keep pressing on for those great days still to come.

Praise the Lord! So glad that the good news continues to roll in. And I bet that she is not the only one who can't wait to get home. You two have been on such an incredible journey. As the days have passed and turned into weeks, the two of you have shown the rest of us what, what a true love relationship looks like. David, the way you have shared with the rest of the community on a daily basis, good and the trying is commendable. How you have loved and supported your wife is a model for others. Robyn, the fight you have shown, to never give up. but to fight on to make your way back to your love are the things that should be taught to every girl. I know that as your recovery progress that God above will look down on you and smile. I know that this is a long post, and I hope you forgive me for that. It's just that I understand how different each every heart journey is, mine, Terrie's, and yours and I know that for each of us, that without the love of our lives, the story would have a very different outcome.

So many good things, small and large changes this week leading to today and I hope and pray as I sit at the computer at 3:17 this morning that you are healing up and ready for some more "Big" changes(like getting the vent tube taken out really, really soon). Your David hopefully had a decent nights sleep and is readying with all of the many people who care for you and your heart community to see what this day brings. Prayers continue and I feel an electric kind of surge beginning from the "Heart" for what I hope will be a day of healing, healthy change with progress
