Hi All,
I'm sure you are all checking in for updates on Dan's surgery. This morning at 8am I got a call from the hospital saying that they had canceled Dan's surgery due to a respiratory infection that he had. He started antibiotics last week, but the doctors just don't feel comfortable going forward. In the original accident, Dan lost his spleen, and boy are we learning how important that organ was!! It basically houses tons of antibodies and is very important in helping with your body's immune system, so when Dan gets sick, he is down longer than if he had a spleen. Also, when you don't have a spleen you are very susceptible to lung infections, which explains the double pneumonia after his last hernia surgery.
It was a very frustrating phone call this morning considering that we were all ready for it. My in-laws were here, babysitters ready, meals planned; not to mention the mental and emotional readiness. But, we are trusting in the Lord and His perfect timing. We have prayed all along for a safe surgery, no infections and quick healing and see this as an answered prayer.
We will keep you posted on when surgery is re-scheduled. We expect that it will be next Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your prayers.
Also, keep checking the site, b/c I am going to post some pictures from Dan's promotion last week.
