Ron Whitt and I had the opportunity to visit with Don this morning. We got to his room just after 11 a.m., and he had just finished physical therapy. He looked great and was in good spirits. His brother, Terry, from Alabama, was with him, and we had a good visit.

We talked about the tile work in the hospital, and he asked Ron if we did it. Ron wasn’t sure, but Don thought that one of our competitors might have done it because it needed some work. He said he told the doctor that he would work up a punch list for them.

We talked about the upcoming Wolfpack Football season, and he was excited about it and is planning on going to some games. Of course he and Ron talked about the menu for the tailgate parties. I think Don is ready for some real food. He told us that Pat and Katherine brought him a hamburger from Cook Out the other day and that it was the only “real” food he has had since he has been in the hospital.

We talked a little bit about work ,and he said he is ready to get back to the office. He is still expecting to be released from the hospital next Tuesday, August 25.

It was really good to see him, and he has made much progress since the last time I saw him. God truly does miracles. Keep Don, Pat and their entire family in your prayers.
