We are safely back in Thousand Oaks California.  Going home was a good thing.  Both Dan and I feel refreshed from our visit.  Our boys didn't even flinch when we told them that we hadn't been able to get daddy fixed and that we had to go back.  They had an amazing 10 days with my sister and now have another 10 day adventure ahead of them.  To say that Dan and I are grateful to our family and friends that are helping with our boys is an understatement!  :-)

We also want to thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts this far.

Coming back to California this time had a whole different feel.  First of all we feel a little like jet setters flying back and forth.  Can't say we've done this much moving about in a long time.  It all seems a bit surreal.
Dan has had some really good days, so this may sound strange but we are excited for tomorrow to finally be here.
We will be early to bed tonight because we will be at the hospital for 5 am.  The blood issue will be taken care of and the surgeon will finally get to take this tumor out.

Please pray for the surgeon and his team as well as Dan.
Tomorrow afternoon we will begin a whole different stage....recovery and healing.

I will keep in touch as we go along.
