Labs today

Mayo called today for Dan to get new labs done. More waiting to get his current status. "Wait" seems to be all we do these days and appears to be God's answer to our prayers...please pray that we do it honoring God.

Still waiting

Merry Christmas everyone! We've had a great time these past few days visiting with family, church Christmas Eve service, Swen in his Santa suit. We received many nice gifts, one being a web cam for Dan and my computers. No call yet from the hospital, so we still wait for a liver for Dan. FYI, Dan is doing ok, he's having a harder time concentrating and reading, the ammonia level must be really high. I'm waiting for a call back from Mayo to see when his next labs will be and for them to also check his ammonia level and if they need to change his meds.

Dan is still #2 on the waiting list and the hospital told us it could be "any time"...but if "any time" doesn't come soon, we will really need your prayers. Thanks!

Dan is #2 on the list!

Great news! We found out this morning that Dan is #2 on the hospital waiting list and could get called for transplant any time now.

So, thank you for your continued support and prayers, and keep praying for "liver for Christmas" -- more importantly, pray for God's perfect timing. It would be wonderful if Dan would get the call while I'm in Phoenix (Dec. 20-Jan. 1). And please continue to pray for the donor and family, as someone will have to die for Dan to get his transplant. We pray the donor's death will be quick and painless, and that he/she and family are Christians. I am also praying that we will be given the opportunity to personally thank the donor's family (hospitals do not normally allow this).

Soaring like eagles,
Debbie and Dan
