Dan

As I sat here wondering if there was anything to report, for a minute I thought, "We had a day with no problems!" Well, almost...not quite without problems. Dan's leg is doing better. The swelling is going down.

I'm so happy about Dan's leg beginning to improve that I almost forgot...about 4:30 p.m. today, MDA phoned to ask if copies of the PET Scan and the C-T Scan had been sent to them. They will not let Dan have an appointment if they don't have those. We'd been told that copies were going to be sent. (We're a bit green at this business of getting medical records from Dr. A to Dr. Z.)

Dan hurriedly made several phone calls to his doctors' assistants only to learn that, "well, I'm so sorry, but, no, upon checking, I see that we never did send copies of the scans to MDA." So, in heavy rush hour traffic, Dan drove out to HEB, Bedford, to pick up a copy of one scan. The other scan is stored at the Weatherford, TX, office a 50 minute drive West of here. That office promised to make a copy, and send it by courier to their office that is about a 10 minute drive from our house. We'll discover Friday morning if they actually do it.

But God filled our lap with many blessings today - a good visit with our daughter before she left for a week's vacation in London, a fun visit with Dr. Dottie Schulz (missionary care specialist), a pleasant phone conversation with Hilda (the lady who will be our hostess in Houston), a very fine telephone visit with my sister in South Central Texas, AND an e-mail from a dear friend, Kathy, saying she has been declared cancer free! She had had Stage IV tongue cancer with cancer cells in 42 lymph nodes. Praise God, she is well now! Pray that God will also heal Dan and Huba's father, Istvan, in Romania. The prophet Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 26:3-4, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever for the Lord is the Rock eternal." -- Anne and Dan
