Daniel Update

Praise the Lord!  All went well with Daniel and he came through the surgery fine.   They managed to clear the infection and he woke up quickly.  He is already eating and drinking.

This morning Becky and Dean were told that he would have to stay in hospital.  Becky rang just now to say the Consultant had been to see them a little while ago.  He was extremely pleased with Daniel's progress and he told them Daniel can come home today if they wished, providing he goes back early tomorrow for his dressing to be changed.

The Consultant sees little point in keeping him in just to change his dressing.  It will be less of a strain on his parents and, of course, on Nathan who misses his brother.  Daniel will remain on antibiotics and apart from the dressings change, he will go back as an outpatient in a few days time.

Prayer is always answered.  No prayer ever said from the heart is unheard or unanswered.  I thank you all for the many prayers that have been said for Daniel and for our family.  I will try to get around to newcomers and thank them in person when I am less tired.  We have Nathan here right now  and Becky and Dean will be calling to pick him up at some point on their way home with Daniel. We are all very tired as you can imagine.

So many wonderful people in J-Land, so much support.  We are all so very grateful.

Thank you dear Lord for watching over our precious Daniel, for guiding the hands of the surgeon, for his rapid progress, for allowing him to return home so quickly.  Lord, thank you for all your many blessings unto us.  Lord, we know you will continue to heal so that Daniel is completely restored to health in the quickest possible time.   Thank you Father.

I will leave you with this beautiful tag that Donna made especially for Daniel.  Once again, Mike, myself, Becky and Dean want to thank you for all the love and support.  May the dear Lord bless you all.
