P-T Scan Today
Dan had the P-T Scan this morning. First, he drank some fruit flavored barium liquid, then the Dr. injected him with radio active sugar water. Dan said, "I was "glowing! Lying on my back with my arms up over my head for 24 minutes, I was actually comfortable." Leaving the P-T Scan behind, Dan went for "comfort food" for breakfast - MacDonald's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit, with Starbucks coffee!
Today while Dan began working on setting up the filing system for 2008, Anne had a very good counseling session with a client in Sfantu Gheorghe. B. said, "I do not want to take your time and energy. You have so much to do." But Anne responded, "it gives me energy to go on, lifts my mood when I stay connected with my work in SG. I am so thankful for Skype."
This afternoon, Dan had his post op checkup with the surgeon, Dr. Elieson. The doctor explained that he removed the abductor muscles from Dan's right thigh. Fortunatelly those muscles are not used in walking or driving. They are used to press the legs together.
However, the culture done when Dan was in the hospital shows a very low grade staph infection. The antibiotic Dan has been taking is ineffective for this type of staph. The doctor believes this can be taken care of with a different antibiotic. One day at a time, leaning on Jesus, letting Him carry us through the challenges, our spirits are lifted today. The outcome is in His hands. Thank you for your continuing prayers. -- Anne and Dan
