Good News...Good Weekend :-)

Delcy's appointments yesterday went very well...the echocardiogram showed that the fluid around Delcy's heart is being absorbed into his body just as it should.  His heart is strong and his incision is healing up very nicely.  Dr. Fangman, one of the cardiologists, gave Delcy the okay to resume "normal" activities (no soccer games or marathons for a couple more months though!).  With that approval given, we took the opportunity to get Delcy out for slightly more extensive outings while Brittany is here with us.  First though, we stopped in at the barber shop that took such good care of Delcy last time.  As soon as they saw Delcy, Ron waved him over to his chair and set to work giving him a quick spruce up.  He asked Delcy how the surgery went and Delcy told him that the doctors did a good job and them lifted up his shirt and showed them! We promised to get Delcy in one more time before he heads back to Haiti. Last night we went to the "World of Wheels" car show at the Century Link Center, where Bill and I have 2 classic cars entered.  We walked around quite a bit and then had a late dinner and came home.

Today we went to one of Omaha's best attractions, The Henry Doorley Zoo.  We've recently been ranked the number one zoo in the US.  We have the largest indoor rain forest In North America,  a Desert Dome, Aquarium and lots more.  There were 8 of us in  our little group and we had a good day...we were at the zoo from 11:30 until 4:30.  At one point, as we were walking up a hill, Delcy smiled and said, "my heart does not beat fast, but my feet hurt!"  It was wonderful for him to realize that he is now able to start doing all the things that he's been unable to for so long.

It's been a great weekend with Brittany.  It's great for Delcy to have his good friend with him for three days, and all of us Bolte's have enjoyed getting to know her.  It's fun to have someone to help me give Delcy a hard time when he starts getting sassy! :-) It's been a great pick-me-up for Delcy.

Peace,
