Just a quick update-Dan was finally able to start his lung radiation treatments today. We had hoped to start them earlier in the week, but our insurance company was dragging their feet. When we got to Twin Falls this morning we found out that insurance STILL had not approved the treatment, but Dan's doctor felt "confident" they would, and went ahead with the first treatment. Thankfully, Dan got a call later this afternoon that everything was approved, which is good because those radiation treatments aren't cheap! We really have been very blessed that Dan has great insurance. Treatment itself went really well, and Dan feels good. The doctor reiterated that Dan should have very few, if any, side effects. He has 3 more treatments next week and then his final treatment sometime early the following week.
Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers, they are much appreciated!

Jennifer - I followed the link you left on my blog and just read all your posts. My word, what an ordeal you are going through. Your faith, strength, and love for each other are so apparent in reading your posts. Gosh, we've all been through a lot since those carefree days kayaking almost 10 (yikes!) years ago when I met you and Dan. I also want to mention that I noticed you donated at our youcaring site and I am deeply touched that you reached out to help me while you have so much challenge in your own life. I am sending my best wishes for good health. I will follow your journey here. Hopefully we can all put these tough times behind us and get our kids out on a river together soon. Warmly, Claire
