Yes!

After much study, Fred passed his liver exam today and got a long awaited treatment. The first thing this morning Fred went to the lab to donate his blood for the day. It was only 20 vials this time. We went to see Dr G and were in her office waiting for the lab results and listening to all the possible tests they were considering if the numbers did not come down this time. And there it was on the compuer screen.....they are not all totally normal yet ...but definitely going in the right direction.

Everyone was doing a lot of smiling the rest of the day. Doctors even greeted us in the hall with their congratulations. It was a long day at the hospital but well worth it. We don't have another appointment until Feb 4.

About Wednesday at 5pm, we should be walking in the door of our home in Alaska. The time since we left has gone very fast with all the holiday travel but it will be good to be home.

"Yes!" indeed!! What great news. And the second part of the great news is that you will be able to be at home for more than a few days before heading out again.
We loved having you here in Kansas for a few days. Thanks for spending the evening and the day with us!
We all headed back to school today, and I'm happy to report that the day went well for all of us! Nothing like a positive start to a new semester.
Love you guys--

So glad to hear things are looking up. Our thoughts and prayers are with both of you and all of your families. Hoping to maybe hear that you are spending a little time in the Seattle area...would love to get to see you. I am heading to SD next Thursday through Monday to see Mom, Nancy, Roger's, and Cheryl's...even take in a couple of niece and nephew BB games at SBA. Take care, enjoy being at home and know that we love you both. Mary and Paul

At last I have figured out how to get to a blog so I really do appreciate the fact that you blog!!!!! I love the picture of you two. And the good news from the last visit to DC is awesome. I have just finished looking at the Neison kids what a delight. How did they get so big. How fun. All is well here in Dallas, talk to you soon.

Great to connect with you again. Loved looking at all of your babies. I smile because everyone is serving the Lord. Excited for Shane and the new direction God is taking them with Bible school. I couldn't find Wade's site though. Fred, we are praying for divine health for you. Expect a miracle. We love you both. K & P Deleon
