Transferred out of the ICU!
Mom said that David was transferred out of the ICU today!!! Instead of having a nursing ratio of one-to-one, it has a nursing ratio of 1 to 8. Needless to say Mom is staying around as much as possible. Sister Keyes comes to relieve her so that she can get a shower. One of the reasons that Mom is around as much as possible is because David can now walk on his own, but he is not to steady on his feet. He decided to go for a walk on his own and took a tumble and almost hit his head. Luckily he hit his chin instead. So mom wants to be there to help him get around so that he doesn't hurt himself till he is more steady on his feet. But at least he is walking on his own. As he walks around the unit, Mom prompts him to say good morning to the nurses and he does in his monotone voice. Mom will spend a lot of time singing songs to David and with David. Right now, he likes to listen to the Primary songs he sang as a child. He will, also, take turns saying prayers with Mom. Sometimes he needs help in what to say, but he is trying.

Such good news about the transfer! I remember your mom singing to Grandpa Knudsen and how much comfort he took in that. Don was also very fond of singing. We went to the Temple Christmas lights right before he died. He stood right by the speaker and sang along with the choir, grinning from ear to ear!
Our prayers continue to be with you and David

The Paolacci Family is keeping David and the entire Mackey family in our prayers. How amazing the gospel is. What a calming reassurance to know that there are wonderful members of the church all over the world such as those in British Columbia. Thank you for keeping everyone updated on Davids progress.
