I haven’t used this blog as an update for our current health issues with Daryl, but it seems convenient to do so. Right now, we are waiting for our insurance to approve the referral Daryl received for the surgery at USC medical center. (for more info about fundoplication surgery click here ) We’ve done some research on the surgery and it gives us some encouragement that USC is known to be the best hospital in LA for this surgery, since having an experienced surgeon is really important. Daryl and I have a range of emotions right now. We feel tired and long for God to bring this trial to an end. It has been 5 weeks since Daryl has been in his current low health. But it has been about 7 years (off and on some) that we have been dealing with health issues. We long for God to bring Glory to Himself and want to take courage that His timing is perfect. Some days we are filled with hope, some days we are discouraged. I will continue to post as new things come up. Thanks.
