The CT scan showed that poor ole Dan has a "cluster" of eight kidney stones in one kidney and three in the other one! After going back and forth as to what the next step would be, he just heard today that they will take care of "blasting" them in Dubai, instead of sending him back to the States. We were both a bit sad, as I was going to hop on a plane and meet him when he landed.
Oh well, we imagine it's for the best to get it done locally and then have him begin working on passing the things. Best advice...Drink beer....lots of it...helps them pass and he really won't care if they hurt! Uh...maybe not such a good plan! :)
Thanks for your prayers!

Kidney Stones - Yuck
Dan had an ultrasound test yesterday and they found two stones in his kidney and one in his prostate gland - not a pleasant thought! They set him up for a CT scan today, but will not get the results until Sunday (Friday and Saturday are the weekend days there)
We appreciate your prayers as we encounter this new twist and turn!!
On the home front...I chased away a coyote from our yard last night - he was about 3 feet from my mom's cat (who was frozen in her spot) I went tearing into the yard screaming like a mad woman and flailing my arms all over the place. I was concerned that the cat would take off running, too, but she sat there, while the coyote ran away. That would NOT have been a pretty sight, had I not looked outside and caught this happening.
Bamboo is still sticking it's head up all over the neighbor's yard - I'm still going out and clipping it close to the ground...less rain now-a-days, so it won't grow quite as quickly.
Till next time!
