I'm back

After a week of very bad internet service and a quick trip to NPH in Tegucigalpa, I am finally able to post again.

Our prayers for Carlos Mauricio were answered. He had an exam and tests with an Oncologist last week who told us there was an 80% chance that he had cancer somewhere around his intestines or stomach. He has a tumor that appeared on a CAT scan. After waiting for several days for the results, and much prayer and concern, the tests came back negative and he does not have cancer.

Gustavo continues to make very slow progress. He is a lot better than he was when he returned from the hospital, but still has little energy and has pains in his feet so he does not walk much. His mood has improved a lot though which is very positive for us because when he was gloomy we were worried he might give up fighting to get better. He seems to want to get better now.

I went back to NPH on Wednesday - Friday for two quick but fun days with Maynor Galván. It is a long trip, about 6 hours door to door taking two busses and two taxis, but he is always so happy to have me come to see him that it makes it all worth it. They were decorating for Christmas this week when I was there. The next photo is of their manger setup.
