Greetings from Bangkok

I wanted to take a moment while we have internet access to let update you all. It is Saturday afternoon here [Friday about 10:43pm in Oregon]. David and I have been here for almost 2 weeks. We got good news about his heart: even before the surgery it is functioning better and the doctors can't explain it. David and I simply thanked God for the miracle.

He did have to have his blood drawn & sent to Israel twice; it clotted before arriving the first time. This means his surgery got pushed back which is of some concern as we may not be able to leave as planned on August 24. His surgery is scheduled for Monday in the early evening pending having quality stem cells arrive. We are taking it easy this weekend. Got the last of our shopping done. This afternoon David is going to have an hour massage while I will be in the spa for two and a half hours for a body pack and massage. Tomorrow we are going to pack both for the hospital and for home.

When we get to come home depends on David's recovery. His surgery is Monday and we're scheduled to leave less than a week later [very early the following Sunday].It is very possible we will leave on time and we are praying that will happen. We've enjoyed ourselves, but miss the kids so much. We thank you all for your prayers; they are making a real difference in David's health. We ask that your pray his recovery would go smoothly so we can leave on time. I will have internet access again Monday after his surgery and will at least email Cammie with an update. Our life has been one crisis after another since January and it is by prayer we have made it. Thank you for taking the time to pray for us. ~Becca
