Easter

A little late in the day, but Happy Easter wishes from all of the Daniel family. We are much slower to update things these days, as we find ourselves in the lull between tests. Please know that even remembering my dad in the most general of prayers is always, always much appreciated.
Last week my Dad had a CT scan to take a look at the function of his remaining kidney. The good news is that the kidney appears to be functioning well, the not so good news is that there were an additional three nodes that were seen on the base of his lungs. We don't know if the nodes are cancerous, as the scan was done without contrast, but on Tuesday of this week, a PET scan will be done that will light up if these nodes or any other areas found, are a spread of the cancer.
Of course we hope that cancer has not spread further, and we appreciate all of your prayers for this. Also, my Dad is very tired from the radiation treatments and his taste buds seem to have been affected from the radiation treatments. He has lost weight due to this, and he is trying to sock away more calories through yummy milkshakes etc.
As many of you know, my parents just celebrated their
50th Wedding anniversary and are hoping to make a trip back to Phoenix, where it all began, in a few weeks. We hope that medical treatments won't prevent them from traveling. Thanks for your continued support and love in all things - especially on this day as we are reminded that He came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the Cross - our debt to pay. From the Cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky...Lord, we lift your name on high! God bless you all - the Daniel Family
