We saw the doctor today, looks like Dan may have another leg infection. The front of his lower left leg looks sunburned and feels very hot, and he has more "weeping" blisters on both calves. The "sunburn"-looking area is a sign of possible infection, so the Dr. gave Dan 2 strong antibiotics. They are also testing the fluid from the blisters in case there is infection, we should get a call this weekend with the results.
We ask for your prayers again that if there is infection that it will go away very soon, so he won't have to go on Status 7 again, meaning he's off the transplant list until the infection is gone. The Dr. thinks there will be a significant improvement by Monday, if so they can put him right back on the transplant list.
We were pretty down about all this, but leave it to God to bring peace. We decided to go listen to the choir rehearsal this evening (preparing for Sunday's service with out testimonies). The worship leader said he added a song he thought about today which we didn't know about, I forget the title but the words said the Lord says Come, I will sing over you. Reminded us immediately of the scripture in Zephaniah 3:17 - The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." The choir songs are very beautiful, haunting harmonies, delicate orchestrations, soloists with amazing voices, and we really felt quieted with God's love, and moved at the thought of God wanting to sing over us. So, we are still a little grumpy, but we are living and soaring in the Truth.
Aloha,
Debbie and Dan
