Enroute

We're on our way in the patient transfer van to the BCCA in Vancouver for the PET scan. Please pray that the test goes well and comes back with all the conclusive info we need. 

Daniel has talked to a lot of doctors and professionals the last day or so, so he's pretty tired. He had to sort out his diet a few times because all the hospital seemed to give him was sugar and very little protein. Plus this morning, the doctor was trying to strong arm him into getting a feeding tube that would go down his already restricted throat through his nose. The benefits would not outweigh all the cons; Daniel is able to eat puréed food for the next several days until they can put the G-tube in his stomach after the long weekend, so he's going to stick with eating. The dietician finally worked with him to figure out a more acceptable, no-sugar diet and lots of it! He wants to gain as much good weight back as he can right now before treatment starts. 

Please pray that the food they give him will be beneficial and plenty (I have also brought a bunch of soup for him -- thank you to those who have helped us with this!!!). 

The weekend will be mostly about resting and eating as much as possible while he's in the hospital. Lots needs to happen still before he can be discharged. 

Oh, and his dental check is scheduled for Apr. 30 in Surrey. Please pray that as he is reassessed next week, they'll bump that up and/or come to him at the hospital. 

I'll be applying today for EI for him online. Please also pray that it is processed efficiently with no hiccups. 

I was praying through Ps. 27:1-6 this morning. It is such an encouraging psalm during this trying time of the unknown and "enemies" all around. We don't know  how all this will turn out, but we do know God has a perfect record for faithfulness and sovereignty. That's what we fix our hope on -- not treatments (traditional or alternative) or doctors. Yes, these resources certainly can help (!) but they are not in what we place our faith. Only God has the qualifications for that job. 

Thank you for reading this long post, and for continuing to pray.
