Hello my friends. Just a quick report on Leslie: She is doing well and starts outpatient rehab Tuesday. Needs love and support and intermittent outings. I probably won't be blogging here for awhile but I am setting up a new blog: daninthelionsden.blogspot.com

My other news: my son Dan is in the hospital with probable cancer, not yet fully diagnosed. he is 20 years old and I would appreciate all who love the LORD our God to be praying for his full healing. I am copying below an email I sent out to friends:
Well, I have just gotten some real sleep and it feels good. That is about all that feels good. Yes Dan has some growths on his liver and pancreas. No definite diagnosis yet. Possibly pancreatic cancer or lymphoma. One is bad, one is not as bad.
The reason some of you were confused is that I had Ashley's (Dan's girlfriend) Mom Terry write the email for me since i was at the hospital for a couple days.
Short summary: Tuesday eve we took Dan to the hospital for what we thought was appendicitis, and on the CT the appendix was normal and there appeared several lesions on his liver and one on the pancreas. We thought it might be a parasitic cause from traveling abroad, but we needed to transfer him to a bigger hospital (we were on vacation in Tahoe) in Sacramento. And here we are at Sutter General.
Let me tell you our strategy:
We are going to FIGHT!
we are going to PRAY!
We are going to BELIEVE our great GOD and KING to do a miracle and be glorified in our Dan and in our lives and in the lives of all we encounter on this path.
Please join us in the battle.
We love you and thank you for all your prayers on Dan's behalf.
Those of you who know him, know he loves Jesus with all his heart and is one of the most amazing and talented people on this planet. i know God must have a great work ahead in his life for him to do for this attack to be mounted against him. Put on your armor and let's STAND FIRM TOGETHER
Love Jamie
