today, Monday, phone calls galore

To summarize the day: I have been on the phone with doctors, nurses, schedulers, pathology, medical records etc ect etcera...
the good news is that we have an appointment tomorrow at Stanford Medical Center with a oncologic liver surgeon and a medical oncologist at 12:30, and they plus other docs on the Liver Tumor Board will review Dan's records that we will drop off at 9:30 am, plus 2 slides from the pathologist. What is the path report, you may wonder............and so do we. The pathologist sent some other slides for a second opinion to Texas Childrens because they were so unusual and she did not want to give a final report without other eyes seeing them. That's our Dan, a bit on the unusual side. I also have sent to a doctor friend at UCLA, Dan's records for their Liver Tumor Board to review, and finally we have a friend who is a researcher at Sloan Kettering who will run Dan's medical records by the top Liver Cancer doc (in the country? ) So with all thes experts checking out our Dan and his situation we are hoping for a plan of treatment that will be effective. This is a very unusual condition fr a young man Dan's age. Please pray for wisdom for us and for the doctors seeing our incredible young son. His attitude is amazing and he is not in much pain. For that we are so very thankful. The Lord has gone before us in so many ways. I know He is guiding us and He has provided contacts for us that totally amaze me, from childhood friends to people I met a few weeks ago. In all this we desire that our LORD God be glorified. I am asking everyone I meet to pray for Dan. A good friend of ours who is a worship pastor at a local church told me that his whole Sunday School class of 50 has committed themselves to praying and fasting this entire week for Dan. Thank you Lord for the family of God, that we bear one another's burdens. Blessings to you all.
