Dan

We want to thank you for continuing to pray for Dan and for keeping in touch with us through phone calls and our regular e-mail address. Right now, every word of encouragement helps.

Before I got here this morning, Dan did his walking - all 200' of it. His 8" incision no longer had the lidocaine pump numbing the pain. The incision became very painful. So they gave him a shot of phenergine in his leg, sat him up in a chair, and left him. He fell asleep, only to awake as he was leaning far over the side of the chair! Oops!

After that, Dan slept solid for 3 hours. The doctor decided to keep Dan one more day. He ordered "sleep priviledges" which means the nurses will check Dan at 11 p.m., and not disturb him again until 5 a.m. Maybe he can get some rest. God is helping us take one day at a time. I don't know what I'd do if we did not have Jesus to help us stay calm. The joy of the Lord will be our strength. There is nothing that God and we together cannot handle. Blessed by the name of the Lord. -- Anne
