Still waiting, but also progress.

We're still at Surrey Mem. because Abby doesn't have any beds available. It will be a third night now being here. 

Even amongst all this waiting, God has still given us a major encouragement today: the new med Daniel has been on the last three weeks is taken orally -- topical pain relief but also cancer treatment. As I was giving him the med this afternoon, he opened his jaw further than before. Thus, I was able to get a better look at his tongue. Normally, I avoid looking at it because it's been a swollen, mangled mess of black, yellow, red, and pink. 

Looking at it today, while it's still very swollen, the surface of what I could see of his tongue looks almost normal! A nice, even shade of pink. Wow, amazing!!! Praise God! I gave Daniel a mirror and he agreed with me about the difference. 

The physiotherapists also arranged a special chair for Daniel so he was able to sit up for 45 min. this afternoon. The past week has kept him in bed, so that was good to see. He was pretty out of it, and it took a lot of work for me to keep him alert so he wouldn't fall out of the chair, but it's important he made use of those muscles for a good period of time. 

Please keep praying for more encouragements like this! (And that we get back to Abby soon). Thank you!!
