Monday night update...

OK, well no surgery today. Dan actually had a procedure done this afternoon called a nerve block. He has had this procedure done a few times for pain in his back and neck, but this time they blocked (or hoped to block) the nerves in the neuroma. It took about an hour and a half but we won't really know the results until tomorrow. We will go back to the doctor and they will test it. After that, we will go back to the burn clinic and get some sort of idea about surgery. It still could be any day. We might not be going to that conference after all, as this is our number 1 priority. But, when push came to shove, I did get my hair done today:):) I will update tomorrow when we know more!!! Thanks for all the prayers.

Teal,

Thank you for being so faithful in keeping us up-to-date with all the happenings. I know with everything else you face daily that this is just one more thing for you to do but we all appreciate it so much. Please give Lizette an extra hug from us today since we can't and I know she is with you!

Our prayers are with you everyday! Love to all.....
