  • Post Surgery & Certification

    Hello once again!  What a whirlwind month and a half this has been!

    Update on Sheea

    Sheea has been recovering well and has weaned herself down to one pain pill every other day or so, depending on whether it is a good day or she is in pain.

    Thank you so much to all of you who have provided meals for our family.  Who knew there were so many great cooks in one area?!

    I am now having to fight to have Sheea not do things around the house, which is good in the sense that she feels well enough ...

  • Update on Sheea

    The surgery went well but Sheea has been in a lot of pain.  In addition to that she was throwing up a lot yesterday.

    They just took Sheea off the morphine she was on so that is progress.

    Please continue to pray that she is able to recover quickly and that the pain would dissipate quickly to a more manageable level.

  • Good News

    Dear friends and family,

    We have two great pieces of news!

    First, what we thought might be cancer for Sheea is NOT!  This is clearly a huge relief to us.  The doctor said that she will still need surgery (a hysterectomy) but he described the procedures they use these days as the equivalent of a “minor” surgery. It is obviously not minor in consequences, and mentally but it is good to know that the physical recovery should be relatively easy.

    The surgery is scheduled for July 15th.

    Second, after studying 8 hours a day for 3 days, Tony took ...

  • Namaste! (“Hello,” in Nepali)

    It has been way too long since our last update…so much has happened.  As you all know we are interested in working with MAF in Nepal.

    I (Tony) actually met two Nepali men (Rabin & Sabin) who are in the US as students and are working in our home town!  As soon as Rabin learned that we were planning on moving to Nepal some day he was very friendly and out-going.

    After months of talking a little here and there I offered to take Rabin & Sabin on a night flight over downtown Dallas.  What fun it was to be ...
