Sunday July 15
Hello dear friends and family, we are holding our own and God is holding us in the palm of His hand. Dan's back is still bothering him and he is moving a bit slower. He still has a good appetite although his tasting ability has undergone change. Best of all, his attitude and spirits are amazing. He is an incredible young man. We do not have any appointments this coming week (so far) at Stanford, so we plan to have a quiet week since Dan needs to keep away from potential infections. He does have one appointment with a local primary care physician that will be taking over his local care from his pediatrician. (Dan has not needed a doctor since he was about 10) His scan done last week was negative which means ...? Not sure. Dan's case continues to be a baffling one and I do ask for prayer for all the doctors to be fervently seeking answers to the enigma of Dan. We are glad we have some chemo on board, but it would be great to have a true handle on this strange circumstance. Thank you for your continuing prayers. The number of prayer warriors is ever growing. We are truly grateful.

Dear Howen family,
It is a privilege to pray with you.
Jamie, as a mother too, I admire and appreciate your selfless love and courage more than I can say. You are a model of compassion and kindness to others.
God Bless you all. Thank you for your incredible witness.
Love to you, Dan. You are an amazing young man and we are confident that God has many more wonderful plans for your life. You have so many talents and gifts that our world needs.
Please know that we care for you all very much!
In Christ's love,
Lusandra and Roger
Dear Howen family,
I will be praying for you Danny & your family.
I have been down the same road as your family and I can tell you that there will truly be very hard times, but with God's help and prayers of others you will prevail.
Ron had the same problems that you are encountering, but with his doctor's help & loving nurses he was able to tolerate it.
His biggest problem was loneliness, as like you he could not have visitors with colds, illensses or been in contact with anyone who had been.
With God, your family and friends you can get thru this awful trip that God is leading you on.
Jus be sure to know that it is God's will and he will lead you with love thru it.
Please call on me if I can answer any questions that you may think that we encounter that might help you.
In Christian
Bertha Ford
Dear Howen's

In Christ,
Matt, Teresa, Anna, and Alyssa
Hey! I'm a friend of Ashley's family. Terry has been forwarding me your blog and I've been praying for Dan. This blog reminds me of a song that I recently learned, by a band called Starfield. It says "I want to hold the hand that holds the world...." I'm not sure if that's the title, but it's a superb song. I hope it will bring you encouragement. Much love, Liz.
